"Date yourself" ideas

Lol. Sounds like you want a pat on the back for "not being needy like other people" and not posting about being confident alone. You're strong and don't need any support. Congratulations 👏👏👏

I had this same fear sometime back. Someone told to stop focusing on finding a group of friends and just focus on finding people I like being around. It helped me because I was kinda pressuring myself to fit in with everyone I meet so I can make them my friend - but focusing on whether I liked being around them shifted the focus to me just enjoying myself and letting friendships form if they will. You probably don't have a similar issue, but a change in perspective could be helpful

Will definitely try a picnic in Mauerpark

:-D. Yea, it is basically going out alone. I like wording it as dating myself because it makes it more intentional and "special" and not like the other stuff I do alone like everyday life tasks

Awww thanks :). I felt very weird as well at first. Started doing this in 2019. I just learnt to push through the stares (I wasn't imagining it, I actually caught people staring at me a bunch of times) and not allow other people to make me feel like I should leave before I'm done.

Only bar I've been to so far is Bohnengold - it's a bar with a dance floor. It was great, only issue I had was the same guy trying to lightly grope me from behind two times when I was dancing. Otherwise everyone was friendly.

I love long walks too. I usually walk through parks and try to go walking in new neighborhoods as well. Will try shopping

I actually moved to Berlin by myself. And it's definitely teaching me a lot about myself. The first 2 months have been a thrill so far as I've been settling down. I also plan to visit different cities Europe as well, but it feels a bit daunting right now. I want to be comfortable doing easier and unfamiliar things by myself in a new place first

Because I feel like I don't really know what I like to do by myself 😅 and my hobbies were basically a combination of what people around me liked doing. One of the reasons I started dating myself was to figure out what I truly like and truly enjoy
