Do you ever go out to eat by yourself?

One of the first things I do is introduce myself and then ask if they have been out shopping or I'll say something to the effect that everyone I know is at work and I just needed to get out, but really don't like eating alone.

My first time I wasn't sure what to do when I was ready to leave...so I just told her that "my goodness, I've enjoyed talking with you so much, but the time has really gotten away from me, I hope you enjoyed our conversation as much as I have." She was ready to go too and I walked her to her car and then we left. I never looked at it as having "nerves", more like compassion.

you are a saint .... do not deny it!!!!
