It's a custom to go on a date with someone you love. But you love yourself, right? So why not arrange from time to time pleasures not only for the boyfriend, but also for themselves? From a psychological point of view, a date with yourself is even useful. One, you learn to make time for yourself. Secondly, in these activities you concentrate on your emotions and get to know yourself better, understand what you like and what you don't like.
Here's a list of 7 places you can take yourself on a date and really enjoy being alone 💚
Cinema
Banal, but effective! If you like to feel like a movie star, fully immersed in the atmosphere of the plot, and you like popcorn, you should definitely take yourself on a date to the movies. There are many advantages to going to the theater alone:
-
First of all, chances are you'll watch the movie faster than your friends and be able to scare them with spoilers;
-
Secondly, no one will be in your way while you're watching, constantly commenting on what's going on;
-
Thirdly, you can choose absolutely any seat in the cinema (it's almost impossible for large companies to sit in good seats together);
-
Fourthly, you can concentrate on your own emotions and savor the impression of the film before your friends throw you their "wow" or "ew".
For example, there's a new James Bond movie "No Time to Die" playing in cinemas right now. We've already seen it – we recommend it!
Cafe
Cafe is not just about "drinking tea" and "eating cake.". Many establishments are trying to impress visitors with unusual interiors, so you can enjoy not only delicious food, but also a beautiful view. And also, sitting in a cafe and watching people around you, you can slow down a little (as psychologists say) and think about something. Some writers, by the way, write books sitting in crowded places, they get inspired! Feel like the heroine of "Emily in Paris" and try to see this wonderful world from the outside, too – you haven't done that in a long time.
Well, and it's not impossible that at the next table you won't find some guy who will ask you out on a real date 😜
Art Breakfast
Ordinary lectures may seem boring, but an educational event in a beautiful place and first-class food is a definite combo of gastronomic and aesthetic pleasure. The Lumos Lecture Hall, for example, often hosts not only webinars and tours but also exciting art breakfasts in luxury restaurants like Pushkin's. And, believe me, at least once in your life you should take yourself out on a date like this.
An immersive tour
You know, what could be more interesting than an already informative excursion? Immersive! It's when you're told about buildings, bridges, and other places not by tedious and boring tour guides, but by actors reincarnated as characters from the right era. It can be difficult to take a tour with a friend or boyfriend, simply because you are laughing and talking the entire time, without giving much thought to what the lecturer is talking about. But if you go on such a walk alone, you will gain new knowledge and a lot of impressions.
Museum
If you were not impressed by guided walks in the rainy autumn weather, you can go to the museum. It's a win-win for those who want to get in touch with beauty. Download an audio guide and go to the 20th century art exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery. You want something bolder and more modern? Choose interactive museums. For example, in Moscow recently opened a museum of emotions, where for 45 minutes you can experience 7 different feelings.
Theater
I got tired of looking at actors through the screen? Go to the theater! Many people go to the performances without company, to better immerse themselves in the atmosphere of what is happening, to establish a rapport with the actors.) Another advantage of going to the theater alone – preferential tickets for students (if your friends have already graduated from the university, then to go in company with them, you have to shell out for a ticket at full price).
For lovers of literature and Dostoevsky in particular, "Crime and Punishment" is being played at the Musical Theater. So put on your parade outfit and go ahead and watch the show!
Library
You're always reading at home in your spare time? Try a change of scenery: pick the most atmospheric library in town and go ahead – drown in the plot of the book there. We are sure you'll get a lot of pleasant emotions (and make a new photo in Instagram).
Another fun fact: Modern libraries are also home to a co-working. For example in Peredelkino Writers' Town the House of Creativity was recently reconstructed, where modern space for co-working is combined with the old library atmosphere. So you can also do your homework in a place like this – nothing will distract from clever thoughts.
By the way, the heroine named Luda from the old-school movie "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" was looking for a fiancé in the library. 😏
"Can you imagine the people there?? Academicians, doctors, philosophers.", – quote from the movie "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears.".
