there are two types of solo dates i go on:
one, where i sit with myself like at a restaurant/cafe i wanted to try or a movie i really wanted to see to enjoy it how i want to
or two, where i surround myself with a new community so i feel less alone but I AM alone bc no one knows me
options for one: movies, cafe/restaurant, library, thrifting, doing art outside, spa day, making a new meal at home, getting a sweet treat
options for two: cooking classes, gym/zoomba classes, book clubs, pottery, hiking groups, escape rooms
these are off the top of my head but enjoy yourself love there’s no one better to have fun with than yourself !

make sure you do something that will keep you busy, cafes and parks are cute and fun only if you’re journaling or reading. my top recs:

So many people are so scared to do things on their own, but it can be so fun and liberating! I’m my own favorite travel partner. You can try fun places without worrying about what someone else is in the mood for, meet so many people, people watch, read, visit museums Or other stops and take all the time you want, etc. I think a lot of people care too much about what others think when they’re seen doing something or dining alone, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Starting out, go to a restaurant that has a bar and sit at the bar, you can enjoy your food and maybe a drink, if you get anxious about people talking to you or aren’t having fun people watching, take up watching the sports on the tv to look occupied! Or maybe your solo outing could first be taking yourself on a museum date and getting to spend as much time as you want in each exhibit.

as time keeps passing, i love watching my mom age. it used to be a bittersweet thing to me, it often time still is, but knowing i had the privilege and the honor to see all her stages of life and someone to look up to if and when i reach that stage is comforting to me. the gray hairs, the old lady jokes, and the wisdom she now has and continues to spread is beautiful to witness and i feel blessed everyday im here to see it. i wish she could live forever and ever, truly, but i’m enjoying this time i have now. :)
