list of dates i want to go on but can't because no one will take me

hello.

the caption is a bit satirical, so bear with me.

i’ve chosen to stay single for the past 13 years. this is a choice, do not pity me. i’ve taken myself on plenty of solo dates or dates with girlfriends and i’m constantly thinking about future experiences to plan to create memories with the people i love most. there are an abundance of date night ideas living in my notes app and i’ve decided to share this list with you for inspiration.

i think the key components of a good date must include the following: good conversation, good food, good energy, good coffee. extra credit points include: well-read, well-dressed, and being online enough to have awareness and a point of view, but not too chronically online to the point of brain rot. so with that in mind, let me provide you with my list. today’s letter is a little mid-week treat for paid subscribers. i’m always looking for ways to create fun letters like this and i have a lot more planned in the near future. your support means the world to me!
