Sounds like you've been conditioned to think that way - that it's only socially acceptable to eat out when there are 2+ people. There seems to be a stigma about single people eating alone, that it's sad and pathetic that they are forced to eat by themselves. In reality, I think it's the other way around. I think it's sad that people need to have someone else there just to eat out - something that is a one person activity the last time I checked.
