>going out to eat by myself, getting a table for one, just feels pathetic

I do this all the time, movies as well. Never had a spouse, I don't see anything wrong with it. I think you should try it, even if it makes you feel pathetic. You need to learn to live by yourself for a while maybe

I agree with your general sentiment, but try to understand that if you've never been married it might put you into a vastly different frame of mind from someone who has rarely eaten alone without their SO for a long time.

Also, they most certainly do NOT have to "learn to live by yourself", at least not immediately.
