HI everyone, I booked my first solo trip to TTR mid June. I get along well with most anyone, but I just started to realize that dining alone may feel awkward...especially dinner. Do any solo veterans have any advice with this ..or anything else. Oh and Yes, I'm a single male ...FYI.... I don't feel the need to take pictures of anyone, I've been around topless women more than a few times so I don't feel the need to stare, judge, or pester someone to "take it off!"....and while I may be a little quiet at first ...please don't mistake me for a creeper....3 or 4 drinks and I"m all smiles and laughs
What are your dates? My friend and I are single and we would love to have some meals with ya. We will be there June 22-30th. ~Shawna
Only one way... Start up a conversation with everyone you see. Soon enough you'll start making friends!
What Keith said.. Just be yourself, be sociable, have fun and participate as much as you can!! You'll be fine!!
You might also put a pic up so everyone will know who you are and they can come up to introduce themselves. Curtis
Thanks so much Shawna! But I'll be there June 12th-16th, so I guess I'll miss you guys. And thanks everyone else! I've never found it hard to make friends or talk to people, but the whole eating dinner alone thing just occurred to me LOL. Oh well, I'm sure it'll work its self out. And I'd love to put a picture up, but I have co-workers who who troll this site because they've heard about TTR. ( I know they all secretly want to visit!)... They also tend to be close-minded, and the CNN of the department I work in. So I'm just trying to avoid any gossip at work. Gossip : What uninteresting people do to sound Interesting....
Im a single guy too, and yeah the eating alone thing is sometimes an issue of vacations. Not such a problem at TTR, although its best to try and make plans as there are restaurants that take reservations and that could be tricky if you meet people that you would then like to eat with. It awkward to be the "gooseberry" if its just a couple eating though. We just have to go with the flow and hope that some of these lovely people want us to join them for food!
Food ruins your buzz, order a couple drunken monkeys... they put banana in there so your good to go...LOL I don't think you guys will have a problem, though I have to say I wish we'd had thought to offer or invite singles we've met to have dinner.... we always think they already have plans... Note to self... ask.. This is a good thread, for the singles and couples that haven't really thought about it...
I will be there when you are as well also single guy. Just be yourself and have fun the hotels motto is nobody knows you and nobody gives a shit.
