Why Solo Dates Matter
Spending time alone teaches you independence, self-awareness, and confidence. You learn what you enjoy, what you dislike, and what truly makes you happy. You stop waiting for others to make plans, and you start creating your own joy.
Solo dates remind you that your own company is enough and sometimes, it’s the best company you can have.
So pick one idea from this list and schedule your first solo date this week. You might just discover a version of yourself you didn’t know existed.
