Hey girl, take yourself on solo dates. Nice ones. Dress up. Go somewhere you’ve always wanted to try. Sit in the corner, order your favorite thing on the menu, and actually enjoy your own company.
There’s power in learning how to love being alone.
Why solo dates matter
So many of us wait around for someone else to invite us out, treat us, or make us feel special. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to wait. When you choose to take yourself out, you’re telling yourself, “I am worth celebrating, with or without company.”
Solo dates are more than just a meal or an outing. They’re a practice in confidence, self-love, and independence. They’re about creating memories for yourself and showing up for you — without needing anyone else’s presence to validate your experience.
How to start
Taking yourself out might feel awkward at first, but here are a few ways to ease into it:
- Start simple. Go to a coffee shop with your favorite book or journal.
- Level it up. Try that restaurant you’ve been wanting to go to, and don’t hold back — order exactly what you want.
- Explore new spaces. Visit a museum, take a cooking class, or book a ticket to a show.
- Make it intentional. Treat it like an actual date: dress up, take pictures, and savor the moment.
The goal isn’t to fill time. It’s to actually enjoy yourself in your own company.
The bigger picture
When you like yourself, you stop tolerating people and situations that make you feel lonely even when you’re with them. You raise your standards. You learn what peace feels like, and you stop settling for chaos disguised as love or friendship.
That’s the power of solo dating. It’s not about being alone — it’s about learning that you are enough company all by yourself.
Final reminder
So hey girl, plan the solo date. Get dressed up. Book the table. Order the dessert. And don’t just go through the motions — actually enjoy it. Because the more you love being with yourself, the less you’ll ever accept less than you deserve from anyone else. 🫶🏽
