I'm staying alone in a hotel for a few days in a city I don't know very well, for medical appointments. It's a nice 4 star.
Eating in the, nice, restaurant last night the chap on his own next to me struck up a bit of a chat. He travels for work and I genuinely think he was a bit lonely. Wasn't a long chat and ended when my food arrived.
Back in my room though I realised he knew I was on my own and also knew my room number as there was a snafu with the bill.
I thought I should have said husband joining later or something. But I didn't, im in my 50s and was dressed down scruffs, so just had a chat.
Should you be more careful though?
