It’s been a while since I penned a deep post on my relationship.
I’ve decided to share a page from my journal entry on finding self-love by dating yourself in this article.
But you’re dating yourself?
Yes!
It’s been a long time. And I want to give you some good knowledge about dating yourself.
First,
Why do women always have to be working on being the best wife, girlfriend, mother or partner? We will go to therapy to fix our generational mess, working on our mind, body and spirit. And then men think they can show up as they are, and we should accept all their low-maintenance mess!
Sorry if I’m offending someone, but I just had to share a real thought.
I’ve failed in a previous relationship, and trust me. I would not wholly blame the other person. Like I never before knew the qualities I desired in a partner – I was too busy trying to be what he wanted for me.
Behold, the power of dating myself has set the right standard for my future relationship.
Sometimes you need to date yourself to appreciate yourself. Dating yourself does not mean being inconsiderate. It’s the highest self-love and its service to yourself.
Dating myself reinvented the wheel and made me love myself more!
After taking a long, and I mean long, break from dating anyone, I’ve become a woman I’m so proud of – substance, wisdom and purpose, you name it!
But this shift came when I was tired of the dating world or too tired of the lack of men with good intentions. I started a beautiful relationship with myself. It was the only chance to be alone, refresh my single life, and appreciate myself in the best way.
When you desire the most valuable relationship, part of the journey is dating yourself.
It is not just going to dinner, buying yourself material things, and waiting for someone to fall in love with you. Instead, it’s taking self-responsibility in being aware of the happiness you need to attain a life of love.
This post on dating yourself shares the benefits of dating yourself, the best ways to start dating yourself, and ideas about self dating.
Let me know what your favorite solo dating idea is. I’ll love to know in the comments section! Keep reading to the end.

What are the benefits of dating yourself?
Is it possible to date yourself? One of the highly effective benefits of dating yourself is intimacy with yourself. It’s a fun experience that really makes you attract the apathetic about what relationship you want.
If you Google the benefits, you get tons of definitions, but the best description I can offer you is to understand what scene you what to unfold in your life.
A beginners guide to dating yourself
Before we start, here are some reminders on how to start dating yourself to find self-love.
Invest in your emotion
Start with a bang and grab a high quality of joy (what are the things that bring you happiness) – it can be small and simple things that are missing in your life. Dedicate a day and relish.
Take time to be present!
This action is also an excellent way to work on your insecurity. I work on anything that is tactful, look at my heart, and see what is true and what is not.
For what? You asked.
From a psychological point of view, your insecurity can impact your emotions and affect your relationship with yourself and others. Hence dealing with it before you enter a relationship will make you more comfortable.
Invest in your hobbies
My therapist encouraged me to start a new hobby during my therapy sessions. The recommendation was essential to help me cope with my grief and find happiness. Life was just dull after losing my mother, and I needed something to keep me engaged again.
Everyone has interests.
Start things that make you live in excitement. It will give your life joy and satisfaction.
Invest in your worth
I desire the best, and adding worth to my life other than another degree, master’s or Ph.D. is top-notch!
Be the highest before you demand the highest from someone.
Level up your skills, and your value will increase. There is power when you know your worth, and trust me, people will feel the energy too.
Knowledge from reading books, podcasts, courses, and videos can change you and your worth.
Invest in your appearance
If there’s no new step under the sun for dating yourself, start with your appearance. Your appearance changes the way you feel, and it improves your mood. When your outfit looks good, your hair is done, your skin is glowing, you smell like this perfume, and your body feels like butter, it’ll boost your confidence and makes you more attractive. Go extra with your smile.
Lastly.
Invest in your spiritual life
This should be first on the list. It’s a powerful investment to achieve in your relationship and everything in your life. I discover a passion for the Bible at an early age and really can’t stop reading. It has helped me maintain a relationship with the heavenly father and myself. If you’re a person who wants to develop and maintain your spiritual life you can start here.
