Whether you’re single or married, we all need a special night for ourselves. You must be thinking, “A night to myself? What is that? We often have nights when we’re home, zoning out, watching our favourite TV show, binge eating and feeling bored. We don’t need more of those boring nights. This isn’t the kind of night I’m talking about. Some of you may say, “A night to myself isn’t going to be fun. If I go out alone, people will think I have no friends and I’m lonely.” Trust me on this, one of the best ways to pamper ourselves is to plan a little date night out alone.

All of us are so busy in finding someone else to love us and appreciate us that we forget to love ourselves. We put so much effort into people just to get their attention and love that we lose ourselves in that process. It took me the longest time to realise that self love is one of the best gift I can give myself. None of us need a second person to tell us that we are beautiful or loved. We just need to realise these by ourselves.

Standing alone scares a lot of people and that's why they indulge themselves in self pity. We start to depend on people for our happiness and lose our touch with our own self. Me time is so underestimated. Give yourself the time you deserve. Remember when you are alone, you are in the best company.

Pick up your best outfit, trim that beard, spritz on your favourite perfume, wear makeup and take yourself on a date. Go to your favourite restaurant, treat yourself well, have that extra cheese pasta or your favourite ice cream you love more than anything else.

Step away for a moment and take the chance to discover yourself. When you're alone, you allow yourself to listen to your heart, understand your emotions better without any distraction. You become a better person once you start understanding yourself.

Taking yourself on dates is the best way to practice independence and self-sufficiency. Even when you’re in a relationship, it’s important to date yourself and have alone time outside of your partner, friends, and family. You’ll get to know yourself better, which will make you a better partner, friend, and family member down the line. 

Stop that self pity and stop finding someone else when there's peace within yourself. You are your own person and only you can love yourself truly, deeply and honestly. So whether you're single or taken, just take yourself on a date, not having to share your beer and food is just a bonus.
