A quintessential, even stereotypical, date activity is taking a stroll at sunset. It’s seen as the height of romance with a loved one, but today I encourage you to find the romance in this activity on your own.

Think about a place to take a sunset walk (lake shores, bike paths, any place with a long view toward the west is a good option). Prepare a little pack with appropriate clothing, some hot cocoa (or a cold tea), maybe a blanket and a book.

You can Google “Sunset in [insert your location]” to find the exact time for sunset. Give yourself enough time to enjoy the walk before nightfall, as well as find a spot to watch the sun actually set.

Don’t think of this as an activity you’re doing without a loved one. Think of it as a sensuous treat for yourself.
