How to Go on a Solo-Date

Bring a Book
If you are worried about what you will do while you are spending time with yourself on this solo date bring a book with you! Having this option to read if you feel uncomfortable or don’t know what to do with yourself is a great plan and also reading is a great self-care activity!

Do Something with an Activity
Try something new that involves an activity! Sign up for a class like yoga, pottery, or music lessons. Taking a class or participating in movement activities are not only good for self-care and your health but they open you to opportunities to meet others!

Be a Tourist in Your Own Town
Often there are lots of things in your own town that you wouldn’t even think to do or know about! Take a look at the following websites for listings of local events, attractions, and places to eat!

Do Your Favorite Things!

The best part of going on a solo-date is you can do all of your favorite things! Go to your favorite restaurant for dinner, then go to your favorite coffee shop for dessert, afterwards hit up your favorite store before going home to watch your favorite movie!

Lastly, if all else fails, just get in the car and go! If you don’t have a plan or don’t want to plan, wing it! Open the door for yourself, get in that driver’s seat, and start driving! Eventually you will see something fun to do or somewhere delicious to eat! Just have fun!
