Solo dates are a crucial part of my creative process, and something I try to do every week.

aquari_ass i don’t have much ability to live my life independently, mostly bc i don’t have my own means of transportation but also bc my time is often full of the other people in my life (mostly family, then also friends). so i totally know what u mean about taking urself on dates by indulging in ur own wants and desires simply bc it’s for urself! but since i don’t have the freedom to do that so much in the way this concept was being described, i’ve instead always done it just generally in my way of life. as in if at any time and in any space there is something that *I* particularly prefer, i will work it out for myself. that could mean simply speaking up for myself even tho i ache at the thought of being too forthcoming, or it could mean including a few other people on a journey i’m prepared to venture. it takes probably more calculating than simply doing things on my own, but it pushes me for the better anyhow - and strengthens the memories im making! 💖

live_your_life_vegan Taking time for yourself is so important. Personally I don’t date myself, at least not in this kind of way. For me it’s important to get some alone time. Reading, doing yoga, meditating... Generally, in my day to day life, I don’t forbid myself doing things like going in the bookshop if I want to, trying out a new restaurant and driving quiet a while for it, etc. my parents though are the complete opposite. Everything else is way more important then themselves. Working on the house or in the garden... Sometimes they have so much stuff to do, that they get their first free minutes at 10 PM. It’s kind of sad. If I want to go to a speech, I do so. When I ask them, if they want to join us, then they say “yes, it’s sounds amazing, but I definitely have to work in the garden first. It has to be done”. But why? The garden can wait, it’s not that important...

mkpsinteriors Since my big break up with someone i was with for 6 years, i was doing it unconsciously at the time cause all i wanted to do was to get out of the house i prove to everyone that I was ok. I was doing everything and anything to make myself happy which eventually back fired and i dealt with my emotions much later but now 4 years after my break up, i do it consciously and truthfully for myself. However, maybe im cheating since i watch your videos and podcast on these dates 🤷🏽‍♀️ Am i cheating? But nonetheless, i am very happy doing so 😊❤️

ikatiedonnel Yes! Love to do this. I used to not do things because I was scared of going alone and most of my friends have different interests. Eventually I got tired of missing out on things and realized sometimes it’s actually more fun to do things solo than to drag an uninterested friend along! I now go to museums, concerts, movies alone unless I think someone I know would really enjoy. Still working on eating out alone though!

emie_gervais_ A couple months ago, I needed some time to myself so I booked a solo spa dinner weekend in a resort. I was sitting alone at the restaurant all night long, relaxing and enjoying a book and a glass of wine, when a woman came to me and said :" I admire you for having the courage to come alone like this and take some time for yourself". So don't be afraid to date yourself, it is really relaxing! 🙌

kmellee_ Love this idea! I often try new things like cooking new recipes or new things at the gym as my form of play/dating myself. However I like this idea of taking myself out on dates and might try to incorporate that in my life. My partner and I go to places all the time on dates so why can’t I do that for myself, especially during those times when our schedules don’t align. Love these slow downs!
