God, I miss brunch.
Brunch was so effortless when I was in a couple. Now that I'm single, it's so hard to come by. I even tried to invite myself to brunch with my coupled friends but they didn't want me being a third wheel. Brunch is what couples do. I miss the eggs bennies, I miss the hash browns, I even miss the holiday's sauce. And fresh-squeezed orange juice and Mimosas! How do you people who have been single forever deal with it??

Maybe it's not the other couple but you feeling self-conscious and blue because you are single and feeling sad and nostalgic for good times that probably weren't all that.%0D %0D As for brunch itself, get your favorite newspaper or magazine or a good book, and take yourself to brunch. If you want to avoid the couples on Sunday routine, then go to brunch on Saturday. Alone. You'll be fine. Lots of people do it.%0D %0D OTOH, you can be nice to yourself and fix brunch at home. Put on your favorite music, get your reading materials or a movie you want to see, and set a nice table for yourself. Then enjoy! But do quit whining...and look up recipes for Hollandaise. It's surprisingly easy.

OP why don't you make a brunch yourself and invite who you want? Why wait for someone else to do it? If you don't cook, or don't have the space nor friends who will go out for brunch - look for a fund raiser brunch (spring is the time for them) for a non-profit you can support and go - mingle - eat - talk - maybe you will make some single friends who have some common interests. I agree - now that I'm old, married, tired and work to many hours I miss brunch as well - on a lazy Sunday with nothing to do - nothing better.

What I've seen is harried families with unruly children, blue-haired grannies with stressed out, but dutiful sons and daughters, and some First daters who look awkward, bemused and ridiculous. %0D %0D There's a lot of waitstaff rushing around, looking harrassed and rushing people thru their meals. It's loud, and inconvenient, and I hate the lines and the noise. %0D %0D I run around all week. When I go out, usually on Saturday, I go alone, and I bring something to read and I avoid "prime time." A lot more restaurants serve menus that have "brunch-like" selections. %0D %0D If I have a "date" I usually stay in. Yes. We make our own brunch...and then some. If it's a first date type thing it's too soon for that type of thing.

OP, if you were serious about the host giving you a hard time because it was just you eating, I have a suggestion for you. Don't eat at that restaurant! Fuck them!
I've been single for a few years now and have no problem eating alone in a restaurant. Bring a book or newspaper. Sit at the bar if there is one. Who gives a shit how it looks if you're eating alone? And why do you want to eat in a noisy and crowded restaurant? I've never yet eaten at a breakfast place that had lines where it was worth the wait. In my experience, the people who go there are mostly interested in being seen at a trendy place. If the place gets busy and you feel you really have to eat there, go when they first open or after the rush.
Basically, OP, grow a pair and stop giving a shit what other people think when they see you eating alone. Or stay home and whine to DL if you want, while eating Pop Tarts.

The host wasn't giving me a hard time at all. He just wanted to make sure that he heard right because I guess he always get 2-tops so he wanted to double-check that someone would say 1. I guess the tone of what he said doesn't come off well in print. But that just made me more self-conscience than I already was so I had to leave.

Oh, and now for the good news you've all been waiting for. I did have brunch this morning, albeit a late one, with a law school friend who also just broke up with his girlfriend. And yes, we did wait in a line (rolls eyes). He kept saying how great it was to be having brunch again. But he was also very self-conscience and kept asking, "It's not weird that two guys are having brunch, right? That's not weird." I insured him that it was not. We had such a great time that he asked me if I wanted to see a Broadway show with him next week. He had two tickets to Mama Mia that he bought for his girlfriend but now that they're broken up he has no one to go with. I was taken aback and reluctant but he kept saying that if two bros can rock brunch, then two dudes can do Broadway dude-style. So I guess I have a Broadway man-"date" next Saturday night. Hopefully that would lead to another brunch. :)

OP, use your ASS! By that, I mean, of course, the one you used in "dumbASS" to spell "ASSured" correctly when you say:
"I insured him it was not." incorrect
"I assured him it was not." correct
God, I miss decent English!

Any waiter who questions more than once whether or not a customer is there alone for brunch is in a terrible lack of professionalism. The waitstuff, specifically the usher, should ask only once about the number of people that will join you. And that should be ALL.
I've been single for a while now, and I've always treated myself to brunch on Saturday morning. Occasionally, a friend or two who know my Sat. morning routine would ask if they can tag along, and they are always welcome. It can be a good time to be with friends.
OP, I guess what you're missing is more the relationship, and possibly the friendships that come with it, than brunch itself. But you've got to learn to love yourself enough to enjoy being alone and appreciate it while you are still single. Because you'll miss all these years of being single and having so much time for yourself the next time you enter a relationship.

Have brunch alone; anything is better than sitting around a bunch of drunking queens, quaffing booze midday, shoving food around on their plates because they, "don't eat carbs" or some BS like that...

I never thought about it before but I've never gone to brunch with someone I was fucking, just with friends and female relatives.
I also had Sunday brunch one time at some place on Bear Mountain that had a clown going from table to table "entertaining" us, but it didn't strike me as the sort of place that gay lovers would frequent.

Our group gathers every month or two for brunch. Everyone is invited, couple and singles. Great way to socialize, catch up on the latest drama, and best of all, no clean up. And afterwards, there's still a lot of the day left for whatever.

Agree 100% with R137. You want to go to brunch, go to brunch. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner; perhaps - if you're a bit shy which I am - not in a super-snotty restaurant but otherwise - why not. It IS more fun to go with someone to brunch, I agree, but not vital.
Or as R136 says, and as my 2nd best friend, in SF-Bay Area does, go to brunch with 1, 2, 3 friends. He's single but happily goes to lunch with other single friends (mainly women) almost every weekend.
(Sigh - I miss SF!!)

In the 90s my friend hosted a weekly brunch where several of her lively, single girlfriends with great personalities would show up.
Being closeted to myself, I welcomed a chance to hang out with a group of safe, fun women. I began to think I was part of my friend's large circle of friends.
At my last brunch (it was at Sambo's), I snuck out to share a doobie with a gal who looked like a more austere version of Lisa Loeb.
I returned to my table to hear the host yell,
"Joey Brill does NOT smoke pole; he just hates fat girls."
You could hear dozens of castors squeak and groan as all of the chairs turned in my direction. Eyes, many made up with five colors of shadow, glared at me.
"Julie's right. I am not a homosexual. I just don't like obesity."
My closet was intact, but my weekly brunch died.

An IPad will change your life because unlike other tablets you simply turn and start to use with the iPad you need to synch it up with your iTunes account....UGH. I got one as a gift as was happy but I hate iTunes, they keep updating to the point that I just stopped using it so I don't remember my pass code. Yes I can open another account but I also don't like the idea of all of my stuff being put into 1 place. I don't like apple for many reasons namely that one.

Thank goodness I've never the type that felt the need to have someone with me even when going into the fanciest restaurant for brunch or any other meal. I go with friends when I do but often I just want a nice quiet and peaceful meal out where I don't have to talk or listen to anyone else talk. I'm there for the food, not the company.
I'm lucky that as a child my parents allowed me to be very independent. By age 11 I was taking the subway or cabs by myself to see Broadway plays and films, also by myself, usually the Saturday matinee but sometimes the night performance. By then I was also allowed to go grocery shopping by myself, not only a help to my mother but you guessed it, I already loved to cook. No I was not nor am I now fat, maybe because I learned to cook and bake at an early age. I also shopped by myself and by 12 was an authorized user on my dad's credit cards. I never took advantage. If I was told I could buy a suit, that is all I bought. Or if I was told I could by some albums those were all I bought. I could be trusted. I grew up to be a responsible man and even today I never go crazy buying things or buy anything unnecessary and I still enjoy going out to eat by myself more than with friends. I don't take a book or a newspaper or even take out my phone to go online. I sit and enjoy my food. If you like brunch, OP, go for it.
