The Perfect Solo Date Night - How To Enjoy Your Own Company
Ready to create the ultimate solo night, just for you? You’re in for a treat! In this post, we’re spilling the beans on how to craft the perfect solo evening, where your own company is the star of the show.
Whether you’re longing for a cosy night in, complete with luxurious self-care rituals, or craving an adventure with a solo date out on the town, we’ve curated a collection of ideas guaranteed to give you “The Perfect Solo Evening“
What Are the Benefits of Solo Dates?
Seriously, why even ask? It’s time to treat yourself! Amidst our hectic lives filled with work, caring for others, studying, and endless chores, it’s easy to forget the most important person to care for—ourselves.
I get it, life gets busy, but trust me, dedicating even just a small part of your evening to a solo date is incredibly rewarding.
If the idea of venturing out solo feels daunting, fear not. You can cozy up at home for a relaxed evening or start with simple solo activities, gradually working your way up to a fancy dinner out if that’s your vibe.
But why solo dates, you ask? Well, they’re all about nurturing self-gratitude, boosting confidence in your own company, and fostering independence. Plus, they remind you that you don’t need someone by your side to fully enjoy life!

No.1 - Wining and Dining Yourself
I know. having to cook for yourself again!? Surely this is just another meal I have to cook for me? Well let me tell you this, we are going to spice this simple task like cooking yourself a meal, into something elegant and sexy!
Wining and Dining yourself, is completely different to Just cooking another dinner. I want you to use this experience to get in the zone and make something truly delicious for you, go on Pinterest and find a meal you would never usually cook, or have the time for.
One of my favourites is the Gigi Hadid – Vodka Pasta – it’s iconic!
You can even recreate your favourite restaurant meals at home. This brings me to my next task, I want you to turn your living room or kitchen, into a restaurant! That’s right, I want to see candles lit, romantic music on or maybe your favourite movie. “Btw I want to see pictures so make sure you send me them through Instagram!”
What is a wine and dine evening without your favourite drink and dessert to compliment your meal?
What is your favourite cocktail or drink to have when you go out? Mine is a crisp Pink Gin and Lemonade, or a Porn Star Martini if I feel like drinking alcohol. To evaluate this into a luxurious drink, I want to add some fresh fruit into my gin or get some high-quality ingredients to make my martini.
If you don’t want alcohol, make your own mocktail or maybe a homemade cloudy lemonade. YUM!
Time For Dessert?
Okay, I am a sucker for chocolate and a chocolate dessert! My favourite recipe for the perfect chocolate dessert is A Baked Belgian Chocolate Brownie with Clotted Cream!
My mouth is watering just thinking about this! If chocolate isn’t for you, have a browse and see what dessert you want to recreate!

This is your date night, whether you’re going for the glam vibes, creating a fun adventure for yourself, or maybe a bit of both? Getting yourself ready for the evening is key!
You most definitely should plan your evening at least a day in advance, so you have an idea of what you want to do, and wear and if you need to get anything beforehand.
If part of your “Glam Night” is to get your hair and make-up professionally done, then feel free to skip the next part.
Now that you’ve prepped, planned and booked everything you need to for the evening, it’s finally time to get ready! YAY!
Depending on what type of evening you are planning, your routine may be slightly different, but we still want to feel amazing and treat ourselves to a perfect, relaxing routine whilst you get ready.
This is your date night, the very first thing you should do is prepare for your magical evening alone. Go and get all your essentials ready for this evening, get your candles, your face masks, hair masks, food, and wine. EVERYTHING you need to make this night all about you.
To start, you need to take an everything shower. Wash your hair, use a hair mask, exfoliate, and use your favourite products to make you feel fresh and vibrant!
It’s time to prep and prime your skin, and body care. Light a candle, wrap your hair in a hair towel, and really take the time to indulge in your self-care routine.
Let’s get Glam! Pour yourself your favourite drink, listen to your go-to playlist, and enjoy getting yourself ready. Even if you’re going for more of an adventurous evening, take the time to feel beautiful and confident.
Finding the Perfect Outfit – Okay, if you are going for a glam evening, I want you to find the hottest outfit you can find. Better yet, one that makes you feel super sexy and confident! Going for more of an outdoor vibe for your evening? Pick the cutest matching gym set you can find, with your favourite trainers or maybe Uggs? Feel confident and slay that look!
Go and Enjoy Your Evening!
You are now feeling as sexy and confident as ever! Trust me this is going to help so much when you’re outside on your own if it’s not something you’re completely comfortable with. If you start to feel anxious or nervous at any point, remember “Confidence Level 12.” You are strong, beautiful and can do this! Confidence level 12 means your confidence is way above the average!
Because you are way above average, you are 1000000000000/10! Go Slay Queen!
