With A Partner Or A Friend

– Look for cheap tickets to sports games

– Try ice skating

– Go thrift shopping! Even just trying on silly outfits can be fun

– Have a cards and board games night

– Get drive-thru, Chinese takeout, or split a pizza

– Go buy $10 worth of snacks and have a picnic

– Hiking—it’s best to go with someone else for safety. Bonus

  points if you take a dog

– Have a mini photoshoot! Get some confident content for the gram

– Do a puzzle together—the true test of a relationship

– Volunteer at an animal shelter. Show some love to furry friends in need

– Stay at home to take some fun online quizzes

– Go for a drive, and turn up that playlist for some car karaoke

– Go to the arcade, but don’t blow your savings

– Visit a botanical garden

– Split a couple of drinks or smoothies

– Trivia night at a coffee shop

Take Yourself On A Date

– Time for some bath bomb business! Light candles and set up your laptop    

  outside of the tub to watch Netflix

– Throw on a face mask and bake some muffins or cookies

– Go to a museum—when you’re solo, you can go at your own pace

– Go to the movies—sure, it’s fun to go with friends, but sometimes you just

  want to gaze at Michael B. Jordan in peace

– Attend a poetry or a book reading

– Hit the gym or attend a new exercise class, if that’s your thing

– Journal about the last year, reflecting on what was good, what wasn’t so

  good and what you learned from it all

– Download a meditation app, or look up yoga poses online

– Painting or sketching—who cares if it’s any good? Just have fun

– Make bracelets, or any jewelry, really

– Write a letter to yourself to open in a year, or five

– Have a dance party with who? That’s right. You know just the

  right songs to play, too

– Take yourself out for dessert
