15 ideas for dates, a date with YOU that is!

Taking a stroll through the park.

If you asked women one of the things they cherish most, I think they would answer "my alone time." I couldn't agree more. Even though I'm a very social person - my space and alone time is very important to me. I love how Carolyn (with idea #14) put it, "I like me and that helps!"

So I asked my fans on Facebook for ideas or things to do on a solo date. A solo date is where you have a date with YOU! Ever have one of those?! They are dreamy and cure most problems you might be having. Here's what the ladies had to share...

15 ideas for dates, a date with YOU that is!

1. Catch a flick. It's cheap and you can eat as much popcorn as you like.
2. People watch while hanging out at a coffee house or park.
3. Grab a coffee and browse an independent bookstore.
4. Grab a book, your ipod and hit the pool!
5. Crank your favorite tunes while driving and sing like no one is watching you.
6. Indulge in a manicure and pedicure. Heck, make it a facial and massage! (btw - book a 30-min massage if you're on a budget, so worth it!)
7. Walk a labyrinth and journal your insights. Taking a camera would be fun too.
8. For those who live in the North Pole, hit the tanning bed but keep it short.
9. Get on a bus and go to a different part of town to discover new little shops or cafes.
10. Take the picnic indoors with your favorite treats, journal, music, paints whatever is your thang!
11. On a gorgeous day, go wander a flower nursery.
12. Walk the beach or take a hike - leave the iPod at home.
13. Catch the latest exhibit at your local art museum.
14. Just being. Perhaps reading, sitting and really listening to music, not just having it on in the background, Eating cereal for dinner if that's what I want, writing a letter to a friend instead of emailing.
15. Go have lunch at your favorite restaurant and splurge on a glass of vino!

I dare you to adventure out in the next couple of weeks and try one of them!  I just took care of #5 while driving to the doctors and back! :)

What a wonderful post... and, I would argue, not just for women. For us guys who value our 'me time' it is informative too! I do #5 every day... :)
Thank you...
