Okay, enough of feeling sorry for yourself every time you see a happy couple strolling in the park. So what? That was you once, and, most likely, will be you again. Even so, it's not you now.
Many Fedora C. singles draw back from enjoying things they like because they're too ashamed to go out alone. I say, that's a bunch of hooey! Why should singleness be a ball-and-chain on your ankle? Relish the freedom to do the things you want to do--all by yourself!
Begin by doing a few simple activities. Visit local museums and galleries. Theatre shows and movies are fun--once the seats fill in and the lights go off, no one will notice you're solo. Also, since people are milling around anyway, park concerts, lawn movies, and parties are an easy fit for singles.
Why not take a trip (why not, you deserve it)? Start with an overnight, car trip to a nearby beach resort or mountain cabin. Treat yourself to dinner at a fine restaurant, plan a day of window shopping, or hunt for treasures at thrift stores. In the meantime, save up for an exciting longer vacation to your dream destination. Whether it's an overnight trip to a nearby location, or a faraway excursion, always, always, ALWAYS buy something to commemorate your visit. (Not that crappy souvenir stuff--I'm thinking a unique piece of jewelry, a designer vase, a funky outfit, or an antique or two.) Note of caution: When traveling alone, be aware of your surroundings, remember to stay on the beaten trails, use good judgment when talking to strangers, and be safe.
The ultimate test, of course, is the couple’s party. Don't decline the invite, go . . . and have fun while you're there. (And be sure to show up looking S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!)
The sooner you embrace your singleness by having fun in your own company, the better off you'll be.
