Do I say these sentences?
I am inclined to eating out tonight.

I guess 'be inclined to' using to describe tendencies.
So, it is bizarre for me.

Question

Do I say these sentences?

I guess 'be inclined to' using to describe tendencies.
So, it is bizarre for me.

Answer

It is grammatically correct, but sounds too formal. I would not say that in a conversation... maybe if you were writing a book or something.

Answer

You are correct that "inclined to" usually refers to tendencies (example: "he's inclined to getting angry in situations like this") but it can also be used to express a preference when faced with a particular decision.  Example:  Do you want to eat at home tonight?  No, I'm inclined to eat out.
