No, I’d like the check. If you’re going to be that sarcastic, i won’t be eating here-not now nor ever again!

If I like her, do you think she’d date me again?

I hear she’s a sure thing.

Hey! She’s not a dummy!

I’ll take it if you have the Cherry 2000 model.

This is why the only restaurants I go to are ones with a drive-thru. I hate eating alone like a loser.

I don’t feel like a loser when I eat alone. It’s no big deal for me but I understand how some might feel different.

I eat alone, I go to movies alone. My wife doesn’t like to go out, so rather than me giving it up she encourages me to go alone and do whatever I want.

Although the company could just hire female employees to sit and visit. My company used to hire “booth babes” when we go to trade shows, to attract potential clients. These ladies had no idea what we did or how to sell it but it got guys to stop by and chat with us.

The only people that “Feel like a loser” when alone are the people that aren’t comfortable with their own company. While I enjoy other people’s company, I’m perfectly fine by myself.

Which is worse? Being a loser eating alone or being a loser eating with a dummy?

“Okay, but only if she picks up the tab.”

Yes it is better than being co-dependent. You can’t walk out your door without someone?

Is she “fully functional”?
