I'm in the minority here. I think I may start a thread for those who'd prefer not to dine alone, asking how they find people to eat with (if they do). So, far, suggestions include eating at the restaurant bar (though dine-aloners like to do this too), using CommunityBuzz or couchsurfing.com. I'll make a new post for those who don't like to dine alone.
