I dont mind eating alone at all - I prefer bar seating actually, but its funny to me when they think some tragedy resulted in me eating alone.

And they come by multiple times throughout dinner asking if everything's good.

The bar is great but then every guy in a 10 mile radius is thinks it's a free for all.... after all why would you be eating alone if you are not looking for a date??? 😬

I don't see where the problem is. Are you that affected by a stranger?

We eat. Who we're with (or without) is of no consequence to anyone but ourselves.

Or maybe you're reading too much into it? I was a server when I was in college. Saw plenty of people eating alone and didn't make a fuss. Just assumed they wanted to eat alone that night. What's the fuss? It's not nearly as bad as going to a movie theater alone...
