Alone time can be so sacred and rewarding when spent wisely. Enjoy reading these 20 Solo Date Ideas To Try ASAP!
Whether you’re single or seeing someone right now, dating yourself is the new cool. While solo dates can be intimidating to some people, they’re actually a lot of fun. The idea of a solo date revolves around enjoying your own company and finding time for things you love doing. But what can you do for fun?
Here are 20 Solo Date Ideas you’ll love:
1.) A Spa Day
A few hours of a soothing spa session can be a worthwhile experience. It not only helps relax those strained muscles but also enhances your mental and physical wellbeing. You can give yourself an at-home treatment or support a local spa in your town. Either way, you will come out feeling amazing from your pamper session.
2.) Go On A Nature Walk
Feeling tired? Worn out? Or care to spend some quality time alone with your thoughts, why not immerse yourself in whatever outdoor area you have available to you? Fresh air and steps are always a good idea.
3.) Take Yourself To Lunch Or Dinner
What can be better than treating yourself to dinner at your favorite restaurant? Not only does it give you a sense of liberation and empowerment, it also provides you with the opportunity to get to know yourself better. If you’ve never done this before, bring along a book to read as you adjust to dining alone.
4.) Try A New Activity
Do you have a bucket list of the things you want to try? Why not make it a point to tick off a few on your solo date? Whether it’s learning belly dancing or running a marathon, there won’t be a better time to get started. Are you still thinking?
5.) Take Your Self Shopping
Nothing comes as close to the joy of going on a shopping spree when it comes to treating oneself. Whether you need a wardrobe change or just want to have fun, a shopping spree is an instant mood booster.
6.) Take A Day Off
Since solo dates are all about doing the best for yourself, taking a day off from work is one great way to reset your mind and start fresh. Regardless of what you do for a living, take some time off and unwind yourself, doing absolutely nothing for once!
7.) Go For A Long Drive
Going for a long drive isn’t just fun but also a great way to boost your mood. You can opt for a coastal drive or go down gravel roads; long drives don’t need to be far. Just roll down your windows, turn up your favorite music, and sing along while you’re at it.
8.) Go Thrift Shopping
Thrifting is such great activity to do with your alone time because you take all of the time you please sorting through things until you find the perfect treasure to take home!
9.) Do A Craft Or DIY Project
Grab a pen and paper and get to sketching, coloring, crafting—anything that keeps those creative juices flowing. If you’re out of ideas, you can find tons on YouTube & Pinterest: painting, knitting, pottery, drawing, home improvement—you name it!
10.) Sign Up For A Class
It’s always exciting to learn new things, even if you’re doing it alone. Take that piano, pilates, meditation, cooking, etc. class you’ve had on your bucket list. You can enjoy a worthwhile hobby for the rest of your life.
11.) Check Out EventBrite!
Eventbrite is a website and app that shares upcoming events happening in every city. You’ll appreciate the ability to filter events by your preferences, like wellness events, live music, or yoga. Many have discovered new opportunities like farmers markets, free community yoga classes, women’s circles, and more on Eventbrite. It even comes in handy when planning solo travel.
12.) Go For A Solo Picnic
When the weather is nice and warm, pack your picnic basket and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. You may cook a comfort meal or simply purchase food from a restaurant then find a quiet place in a public park or at the beach to have your solo picnic in.
13. Explore The City
It is always a good idea to be a tourist in your own town! There is probably so much you have never seen and experienced. Take a day to explore your own town or drive to the nearest large city for a day of adventuring.
14. Revamp Your Space
Revamping your space is one of the best ways to spend your time alone. Whether you want to add new life to your living room, redesign your kitchen, or decorate your bedroom, renovating your home can be a lot of fun.
15.) Attend A Stand-Up Comedy
Laughter is so good for the soul. Stand-up comedy shows are entertaining, even if you’re watching them alone. Live comedy shows are witty, and hilarious and will have you in fits of laughter all night long.
16.) Visit An Art Gallery
Do artworks fascinate you? If yes, you’d like to visit some local art galleries. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, you can get some inspiration and enjoy an inspiring place to stroll.
17.) Mani Pedis
A nail appointment is one of the most common solo date activities amongst women for good reason. It is a chance to allow yourself to be pampered and a fresh manicure is sure to give a boost of confidence for your week ahead!
18.) Visit A bookstore
Have a knack for reading? Visit a bookstore to splurge on the hardcovers you’ve been meaning to get your hands on for ages. Or you can find a corner to dig into your favorite fiction and zone out for a couple of hours.
19.) Netflix And Chill
If you’re out of ideas, Netflix is the safest bet. Put on your holy grail face mask, light a candle, and curl up on a comfy couch to watch your favorite movie or show.
20.) Make A Vision Board
Making a vision board is a great activity to do with your alone time because it gives you the space to think and dream. Don’t know where to start with vision boards? Read The Radiantly Nourished Guide Here.
