I love to go out for a nice meal in a restaurant. One of the things I noticed when I was newly single is that it is much harder to do it alone. I found places I enjoy eating out and would go to lunch instead of dinner. Or sometimes I would go to dinner where I knew the wait staff. It began to limit me. Friends are not always able to join you when you want to go.
I am a huge foodie and wine enthusiast and did not want to be limited by being single. So I started a foodie group on meetup.com. I began to book dinners out, wine tasting and drinks after work. People signed up and came. It turned out to be even more fun than I thought. I found a lot of like minded foodies to enjoy the experience with.
