Solo Dates: 15 Fun Solo Date Activities

Why Take yourself on a Solo Date?

Going on a date by yourself can sound a bit daunting, but who says spending time by yourself can’t be fun? Solo dates are a way to give yourself attention, do things that bring you joy, build self-confidence, and help build a loving relationship with yourself.

A solo date is an occasion to do something nice just for you. It is a time to choose activities that you enjoy, so make it special and plan it into your schedule. Dress up in a way that makes you feel good and stay present in the moment.

15 Fun Solo Date Ideas:

Get yourself a latte and go to a bookstore to browse for a new book to read

4. Home Spa-Day

Plan an at-home spa day-go all out and spend the day practicing self-care with a cozy robe, bath, face mask, journaling and more

5. Plan a picnic

Have a picnic at a park on a warm day. You can pack a meal, read a book, or listen to music. I love to bring a hammock and read by the water
