It has been a year since my last relationship. This is probably the longest I have been single since I started dating. I’ve downloaded dating apps, talked to a lot of guys. Met decent ones, but they just weren’t my type. The ones I was interested in only seem to want a FWB kind of deal. No thank you. Clearly, I was being “matched” with the wrong ones. Maybe the app knew I was vulnerable, struggling with my self esteem, struggling with my weight and insecurities. This is when I decided I needed to take a nice long break from dating men and start dating me.

“You know what is worthy? Taking yourself on a solo date, enjoying new flavors of coffee, doing stuff which makes your soul happy, praising God, being kind, talking less and creating only positive vibes. This actually makes sense because you are no more dependent on someone else, you can love yourself, you can be extraordinary with yourself.” -Yashpreet kaur

So what exactly is dating yourself? It is doing the things you enjoy. It is simply taking the time to love and appreciate yourself. It is building yourself up to the point where you would never settle again. How long would one date herself? For as long as it takes until she knows exactly what she wants, deserves and knows her self worth.
