Catherine,
You shouldn't have much of a problem in many of the places you want to travel by yourself.
I would advise against the eating in the bar idea, but if you do decide to eat by yourself at the bar in a restaurant, especially if it is the restaurant in the hotel where you are staying, make conversation with the bartender and establish a quick relationship with him. Then when the jerks start moving in on you (and believe me, they will) and ask "Oh, are you here by yourself?" or "Oh, alone? Would you like some company?" you can enlist the bartender to help calm down the overenthusiastic ones who won't take NO for an answer.
The sad fact for women traveling alone is that there are sharks everywhere looking to move in.
