At work, I have several coworkers that really hate it if they can't find anyone to have lunch with them. There's one that literally pouts if she can't find someone to share lunchtime with her. I don't mind eating by myself. Sometimes I welcome the solitary.
I will even go to nice restaurants and love every minute, since I'm not having to worry about force feeding an overly active 2yo! 
Of course, I sometimes go to the movies alone too. I don't have to share popcorn, can sit anywhere I want, and don't have to SHHHH! anyone who tries to talk to me during the movie.
