1. do you like dining alone occasionally?
2. did you eat out often (not fast food) growing up?
I did dine out as a kid, but with parents who made it clear that misbehaving in a restaurant was grounds for something approaching capital punishment. My siblings and I knew the rules and followed them, and I think that might be one reason why I'm quite comfortable going to restaurants on my own.
I was also taught "restaurant culture" from a young age especially by my dad. We lived and travelled abroad to quite some extent, and I think to have been eight years old when tasting my first frog legs (loved them) and escargots (also yummy) etc.
So similar story, kind of relate to past memories each time I sit down at a restaurant and feel very secure and comfy in most places.
Must be a common trait in many FT'ers...
