I love eating with others, but rarely get to in breaks at working situations, like the 1 1/2 hours between symphony rehearsals. Seems most classical musicians are very cliquey or too entrenched in their own personal lives.
But I eat twice a week with friends at the gay groups I attend, and occasionally one-on-one with closer friends.
On Thursdays, I love to hit a certain pizza place alone, where I get some free cookies, and do the new crossword in a local publication.
Of course, all home meals are alone. I do miss the breakfasts with a departed loved one.
