Solo Dates 🤎🫶🏽

[nenelonomh]

why should you solo date?

self-discovery: spending time alone allows you to get to know yourself better. you can explore your interests, preferences, and thoughts without external influences.

boosted confidence: doing things on your own can build your confidence and independence. it shows that you can enjoy your own company and handle situations without relying on others.

for example, imagine you are planning and executing a solo travel adventure. it will require you to make various decisions, from choosing destinations to managing your itinerary. this practice can enhance your confidence in making choices independently.

relaxation and mindfulness: solo dates give you the chance to relax and be present in the moment. you can enjoy activities at your own pace without worrying about anyone else’s schedule or preferences.

personal growth: taking yourself out on a date can be a form of self-love and personal growth. it encourages you to prioritize your own happiness and well-being.

flexibility: when you’re alone, you have the freedom to do exactly what you want, when you want. you can change plans on a whim without needing to consider anyone else’s desires.

creativity and inspiration: solo time can spark creativity and inspiration. without distractions, you might find new ideas or solutions to problems that have been on your mind.

stress relief: taking a break from social interactions and responsibilities can reduce stress. it’s a chance to recharge and focus on your own needs.

enhanced appreciation: spending time alone can help you appreciate your relationships more. it gives you a chance to miss your loved ones and value the time you spend with them.

you can participate in most everything on a solo-date. whether it’s going to a café, visiting a museum, or simply taking a walk in the park, it can be a fulfilling experience. some of my favourite solo date activities include going to the cinema, visiting the farmers market, and reading at the park.

definitely always use your head when deciding where to solo date. avoid remote/risking hiking trails, bars and nightclubs, and large social events (festivals).

happy solo dating!

WHY AREN'T YOU DATING YOURSELF TOO?

As I sat sipping my morning coffee, I couldn't help but wonder: why do we often wait for someone else to take us on a romantic date when the perfect partner has been there all along—ourselves?

We get so caught up in chasing love from others we often forget that sometimes that you can give yourself the love you need too.

There’s something soooo empowering about falling in love with your own presence. I mean why wouldn't I want to hangout with myself? I'm amazing, fun and smell good too.

When you take yourself out, you're not just spending time alone— you're setting the standard for yourself everytime you get dressed up and go to that fancy restaurant, everytime you grab your tote bag and favourite runners and go exploring in your city, or even monthly spa visits to pamper yourself. make your solo dates pop so you don't settle for less when it comes to romantic partners and platonic friendships

Physical Solo Date Ideas

Sunset Beach Walk: Slip into your cutest sundress and wander along the beach as the sun sets. You could even pack yourself some of your fave sparkling drinks and some fruits! and everybody always feels better after they spend some time by the water.

Picnic in the Park: Pack a basket with your favorite snacks, a cozy blanket, and a good book. Find a shady spot under a tree 🍓📖

Yoga in the Garden: Roll out your mat in your backyard or a nearby garden. Breathe in the fresh air and stretch your body 🧘‍♀️🌸

Gallery Hopping: Spend an afternoon exploring local art galleries. Take your time admiring each piece and journal about it after 🖼️

Stargazing Night: On a clear night, lay out a blanket in your backyard or a quiet park and look up at the stars ✨

Food Solo Date Ideas

Café Hopping: Spend a day exploring cafés in your city and act like the main character in a sitcom or romcom. My fave thing about cafe's is people watching and making up storylines about people. ☕️

Gourmet Dinner for One: Dress up and take yourself to that fancy restaurant you’ve been eyeing. Put on that dress you've been "saving for a special occasion" and order yourself the whole bottle! 🍷

Baking Adventure: Try out a new baking recipe and create some new sweet treats, whatever you have leftover you can share with your girls 🥮🍪🍰

Farmers’ Market Feast: Visit a local farmers’ market and pick out fresh, seasonal ingredients. Then, head home and cook a delicious, wholesome meal just for you.

Ice Cream Parlor Indulgence: Treat yourself to a visit to an ice cream parlor.

Remember, darling, you're the star of your own show. Every moment spent with yourself is a chance to fall head over heels for the fabulous person you are. So, slip into that cute outfit, step out with all the confidence of a city girl in stilettos, and let the world bask in your glow.

After all, the greatest romance you'll ever have is the one you create within yourself.

[femmefatalevibe]

Hello! I have a lot of some for solo dates outside home, but I don’t have many solo dates ideas to do at home. Can you share some ideas for both options, please? Thank you 🩵

Solo dates outside of home:

Sitting in a park/on an outdoor bench with music + a coffee and/or a book

Going for a solo coffee or drink date (bring a book if you want)

Getting your nails done

Getting a massage

Taking a long walk

Going to the movies/live music show alone

Go window shopping

Take a tennis or other solo sports class

Go to a ballet, concert, etc.

Attend a jewelry-making, candle-making, perfume-making, mixology class

Solo dates at home:

Have a "spa" night with a full exfoliating shower, face mask, etc.

Have an at-home movie night

Bake or make your favorite meal with a great playlist in the background

Read a book in a relaxing bath

Draw, write, read, or create something that brings you joy

Take a virtual cooking, mixology, dance, or language class

Have a dance party in your room

Sleep in with zero alarms or responsibilities for the next 24 hours

Hope this helps xx

DREAM BIG.

and then dream BIGGER than that.

"If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough." – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Dreaming big is powerful, but why stop there? Sometimes, what we think is "big" is just the edge of what we think we deserve. So here’s the challenge: push past that limit. Don’t just dream big—dream bigger than you ever thought possible.

1. dream it...then double it

Picture your dream life. Now, ask yourself: What’s one thing you’d add if there were no fear, no limits, no ��what ifs”? Maybe it’s that penthouse overlooking the city, a career that feels impossible, or a lifestyle that seems out of reach. Whatever it is, claim it unapologetically.

2. break the rules

Who says your dream is too much? Too expensive? Too ambitious? The only rules that matter are the ones you create. Break the ones that keep you small. Remember: what feels "unrealistic" today could be your reality tomorrow.

3. BE the part

You don’t have to wait for the dream to feel it. Start now. Light that luxury candle. Wear that outfit that makes you feel unstoppable. Speak as if it’s already yours. The more you embody that energy, the closer it gets.

4. now level up again

Once you’ve expanded your dream, go further. What’s the next step? Maybe it’s not just a penthouse, but a global lifestyle. Not just a new career, but a legacy. Don’t let fear or “realism” cap your vision.

Your dreams should thrill and challenge you. The best part? The only limit is how far you’re willing to go. So, what's your big dream—and how will you dream even bigger?

going on solo dates

pick a date and time that works for you, i like evenings. 🎀 choose a location you feel comfortable in, a cozy cafe, a park, or even a museum. also libraries >>> 🎀 plan ahead by checking the opening hours of your chosen spot. i can't tell you how many times i've gotten to the library and it's closed for some reason :( 🎀 dress in whatever makes you feel confident and relaxed. i like staying comfy mostly, but sometimes i like to wear pretty dresses for no reason. 🎀 bring along something to keep you entertained, like a book, journal, or headphones for music. cause ya know, vibes. 🎀 order your favorite food or drink and take your time savoring it without distractions. that's the whole premise of a solo date: take your time, because there's no pressure! 🎀 do what YOU want to do. i like people-watching and taking photos. and reading. 🎀 be present in the moment and just enjoy your own company, without worrying about what others might think. 🎀 take a lil bit of reflection time afterward. did you hate it? did you love it? was there something you want to do next time? something you want to avoid? you should always focus on what's best for YOU during solo dates.

you know what i love as an aro? solo dates ! every aro should do it at least twice a month. You pick a day, and you do what you would "normally" do with a romantic partner :) it's really fun!

Solo dates 2024 : Olive & Oil

[prettieinpink]

Hello 👋🏾, so recently I got a new job and I’m definitely starting to stick to a stricter budget, while working on myself. Truth is since it my first solo date, what do you think a great for solo date is. Also, I love your content 🫶🏾🫶🏾🩵

INEXPENSIVE SOLO DATE IDEAS

Going to a local cafe or restaurant with a nice view, or a bustling atmosphere.

Have your mini picnic at your local park. Cook all of your favourite foods, or just go to your local takeout.

Go outside with headphones or a book with a cold/hot drink, and watch the sunrise or sunset

Go to your local pharmacy, and purchase a bunch of sheet masks, bath salts or fizzers and anything else you like. Then have your own spa day from head to toe. Wash your hair then wrap it around in a cute turban, do a rejuvenating face mask, paint your nails & toenails and more. Bonus points if you blast music while doing this.

Make a pillow fort with what you have, then just cozy up while reading, meditating, listening to a podcast, or just doomscrolling.

Do a paint and dip/sip at home. Put on some relaxing music, get your favourite (non) alcoholic drink or set aside some chips and dips then paint whatever you feel like.

Pretend you are your own partner/best friend, and do something that matches what activity your current/future partner or best friend would do.

Go to the library just to chill. You don’t have to do any work, but just sit in that atmosphere. You can read a book, study on your favourite topic or just bring your macbook to do some olineshopping.

Make your own breakfast in bed. Make a nice, hearty and filling breakfast to put on a tray then bring it back to your bed to eat.

Buy flowers for yourself and put it on display. OR you can buy some seeds, plant some as a reminder of self love and actually take care of it like how you want to take care of yourself.

Imagine anything on your bucket list that you’ve always wanted to do with someone else, then just do it solo.
