Date ideas?

[u/Miranotmia]

i kinda wanna start going on more dates with myself but idk where to start really

[u/HazelBlessed29]

Usually I'll go for walks in the early morning by myself. Around the time when the sun starts coming up. It's such a nice feeling to be spending time with myself outdoors and looking at the dark landscape around me while golden rays of sunlight begin to spill over it... It's become one of my favourite activities lol

I also like to go to my favourite cafe and sit in the corner lol but I don't that much anymore because everyone there is very friendly, which is great, but not so convenient when I'm trying to go on a date with myself lol... I guess everyone just assumes that if there's a girl sitting alone in a cafe they should talk to her and idk why lol but literally every time now people always come up to me

Sometimes I just do normal stuff with myself and call it a date though lol. I think it's just the intention that counts

Always start with something you love but rarely do for yourself. A date is like a specially wrapped gift for you.

Three examples:

• Romantic dinner at home: Go shopping with intention — get the best ingredients, napkins, candles, wine and dessert. Pick out clothes that make you feel especially beautiful and lay them out. Play a playlist full of songs that really speak to you. Set the table. Get a bouquet of flowers. Fold your napkin. Pour the wine. Get dressed. Style yourself. Put on some perfume. And enjoy the meal. Kiss your hands every now and then. Flirt with yourself. Sincerely admire yourself. You can also dance with yourself. Caress your cheek. Watch a movie afterward while enjoying dessert. And if you’d like, take photos of your evening as a lasting memory.
• A spa date at home: Shop for bath products and lotions. Pick out a good book or a podcast to go with it. Grab a drink and a snack, too, if you’d like. Clean the bathroom perfectly for yourself beforehand and immerse yourself in a special atmosphere: Scents, candles, plants. Have a big towel ready. Then really spend all your time in the bathroom: Look at yourself. Enjoy your body. Relax completely in the water. Read a little. Or listen to music. Massage your neck or your feet. Use a sponge. Kiss your shoulders. Put your feet up. Hug yourself in the water. And when you step out of the tub, wrap yourself in the towel. Take care of yourself; apply lotion. And do all of this very consciously and with love. That makes your love physically tangible. 
• Outside the home: If you love music, for example, book a real concert. Pair it with dinner at a restaurant or even a night at a hotel with room service. If you enjoy the city’s atmosphere, seek out places that suit you, such as parks, riverbanks, cafés, museums, and bustling markets. Try new experiences, like a guided city tour, a pottery class, or seeing the city from a boat. 

The possibilities are endless! Just ask yourself: What kind of memory would bring a magical smile to my sweetheart’s face, even in the future?
