From going out to get coffee or to treating yourself out to dinner, there are a variety of options to still have fun.

Here are six solo date ideas for Valentine’s Day:

Go to the coffee shop

Before you go to work, make an effort to stop by the coffee shop to buy a delicious latte, coffee or specialty drink. Make sure to get yourself a muffin or donut as well!

If you’re a student, put on your best outfit gather up some work and spend the day there!

If neither of these categories fit you, still make the effort to get cute, gather a planner or journal and head down to the coffee shop.

Visit a new restaurant

Check out your local social media pages for restaurant recommendations and find a few potential spots.

If you want to get risqué, wear a cute outfit, skip the restaurant and head down to a local bar. You may find your next beau.

Go shopping

Spoil yourself. Get in your car, drive to the closest mall and buy yourself a new trinket.

Then drive to your local grocery store, and buy some flowers and some candy. Boom, now you have a Valentine’s Day gift.

Try out a new attraction

Take yourself on an adventure to somewhere you’ve never been before. It could be an arcade, go-karting or even a local candle-making class.

You can use apps like Eventbrite to find new events and attractions around your city or area.

Visit a museum

Museums are a great opportunity to learn and explore.

You can wear a cute casual outfit, head to the museum then take yourself out to lunch or dinner after the outing. Don’t forget to stop at the gift shop for a souvenir!
