Brief

Adele Bloch (post 2026-08-01) encourages taking solo dates and gives step-by-step advice: pick a specific purpose (e.g., "read for an hour"), start with low-pressure structured activities (coffee, bookstore, yoga), bring a journal or book, push through early discomfort, then progress to concerts or trips; she says this increases social encounters and builds self-trust.

Why it matters

Adele Bloch (post 2026-08-01) urges people to take solo dates and treat solo outings as a muscle that gets easier with practice, suggesting concrete purpose phrases like "I'm going to this cafe to read for an hour."

Key details

  • She advises starting with less intimidating, structured activities—coffee shops, bookstores, movies, yoga or pottery classes—then working up to concerts, dinners, parties and weekend trips; she explicitly contrasts structured (yoga, pottery, movie, dinner) with unstructured (concert, party).
  • Bloch claims solo outings made her meet "WAY more people" because she appears more approachable, recommends bringing a physical item (journal or book), accepting initial discomfort, and reframing solo time as self-trust rather than being a "loner."

how to actually enjoy doing things alone:

> this is a muscle that WILL get easier the more that you do it
> give yourself a specific purpose - "I'm going to this cafe to read for an hour" feels less aimless than just "going out alone"
> start with things that feel less intimidating (whatever it may be for you) - like a coffee shop, bookstore, movie, yoga class - then work your way up to things that scare you more - concerts, dinners, parties, weekend trips
> for me, I find it easier to do things alone that are structured (yoga, pottery, movie, dinner) than unstructured (concert, party)
> figure out what feels easiest for YOU and start there
> you can bring something with you so that you have a physical item to latch onto - journal, a book, etc.
> it's okay if the first few times are uncomfortable. that's normal! push through!! you'll realize most people aren't paying attention to you - they're in their own world
> i find that i actually meet WAY more people when I do things alone. i think my vibes become more approachable because i'm not closed off in a group. like im more likely to talk to a waiter, the barista, a stranger, etc.
> reframe your mindset: it's not being a "loner" - you're someone who doesn't let a lack of company stop them from LIVING
> doing things alone is practice for trusting yourself and your own company!

now nothing can stop ya from doing what you want!!!

THAT'S when life gets fun

go out and do things!!!

you got this!!!
