I want to go to IHOP, but I'm afraid to go by myself. Seems

I go to restaurants by myself all the time, no fucks given.

They won't. IHop is pretty much fast food. You see tons of people sitting alone at chains like mcdonalds and ihop. Go get yourself a nice big pancake with extra syrup, op, you deserve it.

I feel ya, i've had a $20 gift card to IHOP since christmas and im too nervous to go spend it there...I keep driving by until i see only maybe 3 cars in the parking lot confimring its just the staff.

There are plenty of people that go in for coffee by themselves daily to ihop just to get their fix for the morning.

they'll probably spit in your food anon don't even bother

if you go in the middle of the day wearing a collared shirt people will assume you're on lunch break at work and wont care

Lemme tell you this: if I see someone alone at a restaurant or fast food I don't even give a fuck. The only think that I might think is that he's another loner like me, but that could very well be wrong: maybe he's not a loner at all, and he just finds himself alone in that moment for reasons that I can't possibly know (and don't interest me)

What I'm trying to say is that strangers by definition do not know you, so they don't care that much and they can't be sure that you're lonely anyway. They're not gonna judge you.

The main thing about eating alone at a restaurant: more people = bigger bills, the tips are percentage based so a bigger bill = bigger tip. A single person eating alone will occupy a table and not tip as much as a party of several people, who could have occupied that table instead. Basically, you're the least important customer. Go when the place isn't busy and has plenty of free tables, and don't expect good service.

i'll go eat with you, anon. will even pay for myself. where do you live.
