solo date ideas

I love to take myself on dates or weekend getaways. For tomorrow I booked a night in a lovely hotel with a pool in one of our country's natural parks. It's uncharacteristically hot in our country and we don't have a lot of outdoor pools. But I decided to treat myself on a mini getaway. I'm going to read my new book and enjoy a drink at the poolside and maybe have a little hike in the park.

I also love solo dinners, coffee, drinks, movies, walks and shopping spree's. Booking a massage or a pedicure.

I'm a bit of a dork, but I also like things like flower picking or flower arrangement workshops. Makes me really happy!

Three years ago I went on a solo vacation in Thailand and booked a weeklong yoga retreat as well. Best thing ever.

Edit: I forgot something! I also do solo things that nobody I know likes. I go to a lot of museums and galleries, opera, ballet, classical music concerts. When I was younger I would pay (a lot) for people to join me. Now I just enjoy it myself and get better seats.

My favorite thing I used to do was go into town to my favorite coffee shop every Saturday morning. Get a really nice quality latte and my favorite croissant. Then I would just sit and people-watch and read in the crowded cafe. After that if the weather was nice I would go walk in the park.

Yes, girl, so happy you'll start doing this!! Your ideas are super inspiring, I'm hoping to try them soon (it's been difficult with the pandemic but hopefully things will get better soon).

I actually went on my first solo date recently and have to say I felt more at peace and enjoyed myself more than I had in ages with my ex... Or actually with anyone.

I'm an introvert so I truly enjoy alone time. Being in a relationship made me forget how much! It makes me really annoyed when people say that's "sad". I can only imagine how bitter you have to be to voice something like that.

I hope every single lady out there gives solo dates a shot. You might need to ignore a few assholes trying to intrude in your space and people's rude comments but totally worth it in my opinion. They just can't wrap their minds around the concept of a happy, single woman 💅 Wish you the best!

I have become extremely interested in pottery. It started with a few classes but now I book studio time and make my own pieces, even bought a wheel for home.

I have these things planned for once COVID chills out.

Pottery class
Champagne and truffles flight at my local wine bar.
Macaroon baking class
A night out at the theater (I have a thing for musicals)

I watch trashy, so-bad-they're-good movies in my pyjamas on rainy Friday/Saturday nights. Right now I'm watching Leprechaun 5: In The Hood (yup) with fries, truffle aioli and other goodies, hahah

Omg I do this all the time. Even when I am in a relationship. I have a day usually once or twice a month when I go exploring a new neighborhood. Walk around get coffee from quirky little coffee shops. Journal my plans for the day, week, month. (I love making lists, i sometimes have a list of things to list) I also go watch movies. I am a 32 year old woman but I love teenage rom coms, animated and foreign language films. Most of my friends aren’t into it. I would go watch an early morning show like 9/10am on the weekends (bonus: the tickets are half priced and theater is empty). Sometimes I go buy different flowers, sit at the park with coffee and doughnut and attempt at making a bouquet. I am finally in love with myself and have started treating me like I would treat someone I loved.

Does anyone have covid self date ideas? I need some things to look forward to in the immediate future. My list of post-covid activities is so long but I want things I can try in the current world we live in. Thanks! ☺️

My local library also has a lunchroom. I like to go there for a few hours by myself to read and enjoy a drink. I also make sure I have enough time to practice my hobby's by myself (I'm a figure skater) and my boyfriend knows this is 'me-time'. He only joins me if I invite him specifically or if he asks me to go together.

In addition to all of these, like to do little pamper dates.

I’ll run a bubble bath. Do a spa facemask. Light some candles. Paint my nails. Read an ebook in the bath. It’s really relaxing and comforting :)

my most recent self date i went to a library and picked a book i like then got myself sushis and sat in a parc it was so fun. I also went to a fair on my own. I need to try to go to a concert or museum too.

I’m an only child and have always loved doing things on my own, even when in a relationship. I’ll go to nice dinners, the movies, shopping sprees, concerts, and spas by myself. I also love doing weekend getaways with just me and my dog, especially now that COVID means I can’t travel as easily internationally.

I also really enjoy volunteering on my own. Volunteering is always so fulfilling, but sadly a lot of my friends don’t care for it. So why bring someone if they’ll ruin the mood? I’ve volunteered at the animal shelter, local nursing home, LGBTQ+ safe house, and food bank by myself.

I love doing things by myself and before COVID I would go to a museum every week and either treat myself to a nice lunch or a glass of wine. Now that the museums here are closed, I've shifted to outdoor activities, mainly, researching and going on all the hikes in my home state, bringing a picnic lunch with me, and enjoying the views.
