Last night I had an amazing date. It was with myself.
Don't think I'm some cray-cray chick. It's been a hectic week with house guests and going out every night. Then Friday night's birthday party went way too late. It was stormy outside last night, and it would've been way too easy to stay in. Instead, I turned down two dinner invites and took myself out.
I started my date by popping out to buy a birthday present at DSW and ended up with the gift and a really cute pair if summer sandals for me. They're heels, of course, and I hope they help bring spring faster.
Then this single girl took herself out to dinner. I chatted with the bartender and a few other people. He told me about the blog he used to write. It was a perfectly fun and relaxing evening. And I didn't even have to worry about that awkward moment when the date wants to come in. Then, if he does, the other awkward moment when you want to get him out.
Being alone is a true art. Everyone - single or not - should dine alone on occasion. There's nothing wrong with it. People won't pitty you or think you're a loser. I believe it's healthy. Being alone forces you to talk to people or be comfortable in your silence. It helps you be happier. It helps you be you.
Love to the single girls,
Addison
