I’m not lonely. I’m also keen to meet someone. I like being active and getting out and there are times when I would rather sit at home than go out. I get a bit of time to myself each week so I thought why not take myself out. Date for one! Previously, I have thought I can only go somewhere if I am with someone, but often friends are busy or they want to do things with couples. I am often mostly alone. So I need to start making the most of the time I’ve got by SOLO DATING!
I can’t keep sitting around waiting for something to happen and the opportunity to get out. It can be without a person with me: SOLO DATING. I like my own company so why wouldn’t I go wandering around a National Trust house or take myself for a pub lunch? And the best part, I can bring you along with me.
First up – Generate an ideas list
I need to first think of what things I would really like to do, try out, learn about. Jot these down. Then the tricky part – what things do I not do from fear of being on my own – i.e. dinner in a restaurant on my own, etc. Add these too. Then add rainy day activities and free activities. Make sure there is a range to suit any weather or financial situation. Yes it’s about being comfortable, but nothing good comes from only sitting inside your comfort zone. It’s time to broaden those horizons.
