Who said that being single is not fun? Being single does not equate to social outcast, quite the contrary. Let’s shift that thought and enjoy being single because it can be loads of fun when you know how. These are 7 dates to take yourself when you’re single are the best.
1. Grab a great book and go on a picnic
Take yourself to a nearby park or to the beach and open your fav book. Enjoy the scene around you and let yourself be transported to the world of fantasy in your book. It’s a delightful date that is all about you and therapeutic. A sort of digital-detox and getting all that vitamin D. You’ll feel invigorated and happy to be out in the world in your own terms. Best, is that you can stay as long as you want without anyone dictating where and how long your stay should be. ‘Vive la liberté!’
2. Go watch a movie
When you single and if you’re a female, while you’re dating there are a number of movies you have to put in the ‘another time’ watch list. As your status changes to single, the opportunity to watch all those movies you couldn’t before either by yourself or with your friends is finally here. Binge watch them or go to the cinema and indulge in all the ice cream or popcorn to your heart’s desire. Oh, that’s living.
3. Go on a solo getaway
This is probably one of the best things you can do. Speaking from experience going on a trip on your own is the best. You’ll feel liberated and brave.
Your aura will emit carefree vibes which in turn make you a magnet for people. Suddenly, you make new friends and your getaway is on the way to be a fantastic one. It is a very unique feeling to go anywhere you like, for as long as you like and to explore and talk to anyone of your choice. Talking about being in the moment.
4. Go to a music festival
Dance like no one is looking and enjoy every beat and sing out loud. There is a certain freedom in going to a music festival on your own. You can be yourself without judgement, that is if nobody you know sees you there. You can connect with your deeper self and rediscover what music you really enjoy and bust some moves you were too shy to try when next to your ex.
5. Take up some cooking classes
If you enjoy food and wished you had the time to learn to be a better cook, now is the time. One of the best aspects of being single is that you have more time for self-improvement. Why not learn more about food and how to become a better cook. Cooking is relaxing and extremely rewarding. You get to eat better, save money and become a healthier individual – no more takeaway or junk food.
6. Go for a hike
When you’re in a relationship you have to make some compromises and sometimes you give in and give up on things that brought you great pleasure. Hiking is one of the most strenuous and rewarding activities. Hiking takes you out of the house, into nature and into a better head space. Research has found that surrounding yourself by nature will contribute to better mental health not to mention get you fit.
There are some seriously sweet perks in being single and enjoying a date on your own. It’s a time of self-reflection, self-improvement and rediscovering yourself. Finding out who you are and what you really enjoy will reiterate in your next romantic relationship. So, while single make the most of it and enjoy it.
