The Benefits of Going on a Solo Date
Despite solo dates being a little bit daunting, they’re actually incredibly beneficial when it comes to your own personal growth. See, when you start going on solo dates, you’ll find –
- Solo dates also push you outside your comfort zone…
- As a result, they can really help you to grow in confidence.
- Solo dates can help you to become more independent- demonstrating EXACTLY just how much you can do by yourself, without having to rely on anyone else!
- They also encourage self-discovery. “Dating yourself” is a great way to learn more about yourself. You’ll find you get to know yourself far better, far faster.
- Similarly, solo dates can promote a sense of self love. In fact, regularly doing solo dates is one of the best self love habits you can develop. You learn how to become your own best friend whilst valuing yourself and appreciating your own company.
- Solo dates give you a chance to do things that you enjoy, without any external pressure or expectations. You’re not trying to please anyone else. You’re just doing things for yourself.
- Now of course, the more comfortable you become with solo dates, the more valuable they become. In time, they can even become a valuable form of self care – offering an opportunity to relax, recharge and reconnect with yourself. (Nope, it’s not too good to be true!)
- In essence – solo dates can be incredibly empowering, so what better time to start dating yourself than NOW?!

This is an absolute must when it comes to Spring solo date ideas.

11) Try an Outdoor Yoga Class
Practicing yoga outdoors offers numerous benefits, including increased connection with nature, improved mental and physical well-being, and enhanced focus and energy.
It also gets you mixing with new people, getting some good-quality fresh air, and that extra boost of Vitamin D (before the sunshine becomes too strong) is of course a major plus!

17) Make a Bird Feeder / Bird House
Spring is the breeding time for birds, so if you want to attract more into your garden – now could be the perfect time to make your own bird feeder or bird house.
It’s pretty satisfying too – creating safe spaces for them to nest & raise their young. You can even grab a bird house camera to watch them inside for yourself!

If you love animals, then a solo farm or zoo date is always a great shout!
