Why eat alone?

:P

....whhhooaa... blah..blah..

am i judging you? did i say 'crime'?

do you know the meaning of the word opinion???

well, i dont have problem with a girl dining alone...

and a girl whining and defending her independency..

maybe u can ask colt45... lolzzzzzzzzzzz

just citing my two cents...

tinker.. i dont think so...

coz once a girl had been in such situation.. she wont be able to take it like that.. to eat alone.. somehow youll experience pity in that sense, like what colt was saying...

a person might opt to dine alone at home than in public...

well not all (like u maybe), but in general...

you mentioned she was in 20s..

it might be that the girl has not been in serious relationship... that she's too independent to do that... not yet in situation that she go out w bf all the time..lolz

not that she doesnt have friends..

I have always been a keen observer ;o)

Are you speaking from experience?

Well yeah old people do tend to eat alone or while reading a book sometimes ;o)

I often eat alone... I like my own company and like to relax and let my mind wander...

Don't have to make small talk.. Don't have to be careful about what I say..

She wasn't alone, she was with a book - my favorite dinner companion at Thai Snack, too.

Mandi

oh..was she in her jeans and t-shirt, i just forgot to tell you guys, last evening she was a bit upset with me..

It was more the curiosity of her eating alone that killed me ;-)

colt, can't you just keep off your eyes away from her?? :))

Ya likes Thai too? Me likes Thigh too :-P

wk: i am fasting.... :)

I just finished eating alone :(

Thanks for the recipe, now let me know the Thai treat days in advance so i can keep my stomach empty :)

i'm a changed man snessy :)

me haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappy

come yaar it was only for fun

done padre, last day of work today and i'm looking forward to a looong break ")

Blimey, I would've given up ages ago SNM, you have way too much patience.

Relax, take deep breaths... unwind!!! :-P

check you're PM, there's a recipe there... ;-)

i'm bleeding Colt, i'm calling 999 as of now..... :D

Food has always been my weakness....and I love stealing recipes :)

Dude, whatever you say is CORRECT, happy now?

SNM - I know you're banging your head on the desk :-P

lawa, geez! OMG! WTF?! WTH?!

I understand if someone want to think about some thing while he is eating he don't want any interruption in his thinking so what's bad if he sit in a restaurant where he feels better

OK Colt, that type of eating together is fine with me as I won't have to share food in that scenario :-P

You're in a different league my friend, you're pardoned!!! ;-)

lawa will your read and UNDERSTAND, yes i said UNDERSTAND again what Colt posted.

You are not alone, I am here with you. Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart. :-P

comeon people can't eat alone its just bcz she was if there is any man colt45 never mind it

Why eat alone???.....But why not eat alone?

Lawa, eating alone is the topic for discussion, Colt was just setting the scene for all of us.

Tell me when in my posts I said I did or I am gonna disturb her life?

leave the people alone if they want why you want to distrube her life

I love to dine alone...not that I want to have some time to be with myself or I do it only sometimes...its just suits me that way and I like it most of the times...:)

Yes pal, I would have had it been a male too... my point was about the "dining alone" and not the being gorgeous. I added that just to spice up the thread ;-)

aha.... very observative!! colt..

Yall are the BEST!!! :-D

I would like to have the pleasure of treating to you a Thai lunch after Eid :-)

PPl r diffrent.

lots of ppl need to have moments alone.

Question

R u going to have the same thought if it was a MALE setting alone??

i believe u have posted this topic coz u wanted to talk to that girl & not woudering why ppl set alone & eat

LOL Ice, he'll skip going home if he gets the offer to come and live at yours ;-)

And I thought you were man's man ala John Wayne.

Well, you you go inside don't forget your pants outside ya. Put on suspenders if need be, it will help you keep them in place. :)

I've got the maid outhouse, its a bit dusty but I've tidy it up for you.

psshhh!!!

You gonna let her know it's her, Colt?

I'm gonna barge into the house today after work and let her know who wears the pants in this family...

(got an extra room, or an out-house if i needa crash for the night?) :-P

That's cos you let situations control you, rather than the other way round.

If only the situation allowed for, "ME" time ;-)

AAAh...Ok, I thought you wanted to hit on gorgeous women in their "ME" time. Oops, my mistake.

Well "ME" does not have to be made compulsory. It deopends on the individual to find the time for "ME" time. We are connected to the outside world so much that we lose connection to the core of our being. We all need to stop for a while, find the time to renew that bond.

I'm on par with you, 2nd warning for me too on that other thread :-(

yeh I know it's alone time... that is what I need too :-(

Errrmmm...that's actually my 2nd warning in this thread, maybe I should be banned now!!!

Maybe she was a "yummy" mummy, quite a few around....lol

"ME" time is time ALONE Colt, not to be intruded upon by anyone.

DO NOT hijack the topic!!! :-P

One sec...

I wish "ME" time was made compulsory in Qatar :-))

I am a king of wishful thinking ;-)

General, has someone offended you?

Nah, she didn't do take-out as well... she looked kinda young and more like she's new in Doha with not many friends... but I could be wrong ;-)

If i was an "insecure momma's boy", I wouldn't have left a "perfectly good life" of shuttling between the US and Canada with my momma and come to the ME. But is that is what you wanna think, i don't give a rats a55 about it ;-)

General_disarray, how did you come to such a conclusion do tell sherlock!

We all need our alone time.....Did she order a take away too? Colt, maybe she's got kids at home, and her hubby suggested that she go out and have some "me" time. At times, this place can get to you.

obviously you're an insecure, momma's boy.

whats the big issue being alone in someplaces Drac?

Drac are you having Qatar symtomps?

Thts true !! :)

Now ima go and get some work done... yall behave in my thread! :-P

yeah you're too small and unassuming to have noticed :-P

lol drac im sure mrs drac has something to say about that

Khanan I am also not in Qatar during Eid.. Hopefully :P

LOL

I was actually there Last nite as well :P

NOt tht u would have noticed since ur eyes were seeing only the Blond Hotties..

you can always invite the QLSG football team to a water polo match... the downside is, maybe only I will turn up :-(

ROFL Dracy....

now how did you get into that place Drac when it's for ladies only :D

Dracula make your own thread buddy, then we'll share our thoughts there :P

I was at the swimming pool on Al Nasr Sports Club last night, when this completely gorgeous young woman, probably about 5'4", in her 20's comes in, sits herself down and after about 10mins of waiting, starts removing her clothes, preparing for swimming.

She was dressed in deux pieces, bra and tanga, looked ultra-cool and while waiting on her blanket, started to read a book. I had half a mind of leaving my plastic chair and the people I was with to join her, but I thought it would seem rude and so I didn't ;-)

What bamboozled me was, why she would go and swim alone? Is it because it's one of those days where she prefers the "being alone" part of it or is it because she doesn't have friends in Doha, was she stood up? The reason could be anything :-?

I'm just not the type that will go into a swimming pool and swim by myself, I need to have someone with me. If there is no one available, I would rather "take a shower" at my home, than sit there alone.

Again Your Thoughts!

:)

it's not Ruby you saw? Lol!

Im not here during Eid and WK doesn't trust you enough to come out all ALONE with you :-P

i doubt he went there to have food ?

i think he went there coz he saw tat lady sitting alone and he wanted to take a chance and when he approached to her she shouted "You Swine" with a tight SLAP....:(

and here Colt is telling us this made up stories...huh !!:(

All you need to do is just call... ;-)

Snessy dont go off topic or try to hijack the thread now :P

but why after EId..

why not in Eid...a treat from me...:)

Yall chalo chalo kabu Chalo...

I may have tried it one time before, I can't remember :-(

Snessy - Yeah, it was good!!! I love Thai ;-)

colty no need to be surprised happens all the time :) heck i do that most of the time and eat alone myself

BTW, was the food nice at the Thai restaurant?

LOL!!! :-P

lemme know when you and you gfs are avbl to gather around the counter, I will eat alone then ;-)

And white pants? LOL!!! BTW, when is feni/ urak time??? :-(

anyway Smoke, pick up lines are for losers :)

snessy, male or female here, whenever you're alone you get stared at and it gets creepy some times.

Abey, the last thing i want is a guy asking me if he can buy me a drink at a bar...oh wait free booze...let me get my pink shirt out!

Why not try drink out alone? I'll join you!! :-)

i neva staring at oldies :)

so its u who's staring at me all the time while m eating alone..;)

hmmm i should try going out and eating alone...wonder if i'll get the same reaction...I'm tall, good looking, 20's something...wonder if colt would notice me :P

Colt,why dont you try eating alone and see how many ladies will approach you?and share the experience with us. or we will be the counter if u want.

sounds like very me colty, lolxx

have my reasons though - i don't trust men that much here in doha. no offense. i know that doha is a very safe place but i dont wanna take a risk still. only taggin' along wit a very close friend or friends but of course not all the time i can ask them to keep me company so that gives me no alternative but to go out alone/ dine out alone. ♥

yesss, snessy..tell him the naked truth! :)

You're hawt is why ;-)

Lmao Dracy

Here you can't even sit at the food court without people staring!

I did not do it and I will not do it again :-P

...you're the reason for "Family Day" / City Center! :)

Hell freakin NO, that was just cheesy!!! :-P

Colt do u go to resturants to eat or to watch who is coming alone and who is coming with their partners ? :(

Sure Coltey.. After Eid kabul.. Khanana joining us??

Somwere, real MEN dont need pick up lines...we just so damn smooth we are easy to swallow :P

stalker! :P

I agree I dine alone when im on my trips, but only at the hotel restaurants, Whenever i venture out, I inevitably ask someone to join me ;-)

agreed with snessy...totally.

most of us give a blind eye to an old lady doing something like that thou..he he he

I second the same...

I think it also depends where the restaurant is and which country. I would never eat alone here but would and have done so in others. Sometimes, it's nice to sit outside and watch the world go by.

LOL does that pick up line work for you Colt? :P

I was banging my head on the wall when I got home :-( I think ima do rounds of that place every so often now... ALONE! :-P

Colty- there are many girls who does that but u were just concerned abt her becz she was gorgeous.....

What you wanna join me at? :-P

or something like... hey are you a parking tkt, coz you have FINE written all over ya... :-))

SLAP!!! :-(

i repeat my question !

Colt are you 100% sure tat it was a gal ?

Might be u have seen from back long long silky hairs and thought it was a gal, but for ur kind info Mens too have long silky hairs without moustache and beard....:)

U smart..heheh...

BTW, were u "Bird-watching" there? ;)

Let's do a Kabul sometime soon... after Eid! ;-)

i guess colt wont spare her either.

peace bro!

Yeah I would ;-)

astroiza.... OMG.. and so now u can explain...

u wanted some ALONE time.. ? or u were just ALONE... looking for someone to take u out..?

Damn colt you should have just gone over and used some stupid line like "sorry i'm late...lets eat shall we?" :P

But for some reason 'gorgeous young woman, probably about 5'4", in her 20's...eating out alone...in Qatar! I think my alarm hasn't gone off and i'm still dreaming that i'm on QL reading this sh*t :p

yeah colt what if she wasn't that gorgeous? :D

Are Colt you too are a fan of kabul???

lol Colt....

well well speedy.. that's a THOUGHT... !!!

If you ever happen to eat alone at Kabul in Matar I will most definitely join you :-)

Colt, you should've slipped her your number...you've let a gorgeous girl to slip through the net.

u find a lot of ppl sitting alone in Coffee Shops maybe she preferred a restaurant instead..:)

oooopppsss.. i think that was me you saw. :(

What if she wasn't gorgeous? Wud U have thought the same?

well,i always like an I,Me,and myself moment always.

I used to dine alone at dean and deluca.the problem is when lady is dining alone the bee are buzzing around.

Give us a break sometimes guys!

I was thinking the same, she's probably new in Doha and doesn't have many friends yet... dayum!!! I missed the bus :-P

I know the "alone" time we all like to spend, but I just can't comprehend why go to have "alone" time in a restaurant when you know it's an enclosed environment and you're not really "alone" with so many people eating and talking out loud :-(

oh come on isale!

waiting for someone to join me...

Colty, i think you were just wondering that because she's gorgeous. :p

btw, are you with someone else? leaving your table would mean leaving your companion? that would be rude. :)

DAMN !!

its yesterday only i had arguments with my galpriend and she went alone to Thai for dinner...:(

I shall immediately call her now to confirm if everything is OK with her ?

If she's just come to Doha and hasn't made many friends yet, she's probably going cuckoo at home alone every night and perhaps fancied a change of scenery. I don't like to eat alone, but I have done so in the past.

s_isale why don't you mind your own business and stay away from this thread??

That statement can be turned around 100 % of the times so don't go around using it so liberally.

if you took the time to READ properly, you would know that I did mind my own business.

Its important, especially in the times when we wnt our own privacy, to collect our thoughts :)

And full concentration on the food :P

She was gorgeous though :-)

There are many people in this world who prefer to eat alone and stay alone and stay away from people..:)they enjoy that..

why dont you mind your own business?

sometimes having your own "Me Time" is fun Colt :P

I can never understand people eating alone in restaurants too, I prefer takeout for those occasions..

On an unrelated note, saale you could have asked for her number for me :(

Colt are you sure it was a gal ? :)

Might be u saw him/her from back with long hairs and thought it was a gal.

Did u see from front or side wayz to confirm ? :)

maybe she just wanted sometime to herself and would not have appreciated you scr**ing it up..:P

try it again today n if you do see her alone again, ask her the reason...n yea, dont forget to take me along while you go :)

I would rather go sit on the corniche and have "alone" time than be alone in a restaurant full of people eating ;-)

Maybe she just wanted some time alone ... u'no, sometimes.. the alone thing can do wonders to you after a stressful day..... just doing ur thing at ur own pace... no peer pressure... no worries...

and good that u didn't spoil it for her by intruding her privacy...!!!!

we sometimes prefer to be alone Colty. :) it's a woman thing, just like you guys want to have your own moment sometimes. :)

it was'nt me :)
