💕 Love is in the air 💕

Love month starts today! Do you have a date already? Good for you if you have; if you don’t, it’s not the end of the world. You still have time to find a Valentine; you have 13 days left. You can always celebrate it with your friends, family, and even just yourself.

Here's how I dated myself:

I’m in a long distance relationship with @wanderingdanish for more than 3 years now. It’s not easy but we try to make it work. Last year, I dated myself coz he was not around. I have beautiful and funny friends but it's good to be alone sometimes. I visited him in Denmark for 3 months (October - 1st week of January) It was my first time to be in a cold country. An amazingly beautiful experience I could never forget.

Back to reality after being back in the Philippines for a month. I decided to go camping to Alcoy beach, it's in the south of Cebu to celebrate Valentines Day by myself. Its a 2 hours travel by bus from Cebu City. To go there, you have to go to South Bus Station and look for a bus that's bound for Oslob. The fare was a hundred, then tell the driver to drop you off at Tingko beach. There's a 10 pesos entrance fee and then I paid 100 pesos to camp there. Nothing is free now. But its worth it. The beach is beautiful with clear turquoise water.

I only stayed there overnight. It's safe, I survived just on my own. That's all my stuffs for traveling more than a week... heading to Dumaguete to visit my friend Sheiy.

@wanderingdanish visited me for 3 months (3rd week of October - 24th of January) I guess I will be dating myself again. Do you have a suggestion where should I go next? Or maybe I should just spend time with my family and friends. I haven't decided yet. We will see, I still have 2 weeks to decide.

That's all for now. I hope everyone will have a Happy Valentines.

I'm there, maybe not in the flesh but in spirit.. most likely somewhere in the chocolate would be my guess. I'm sorry I can't be there again this year, somehow things doesn't always work out the way you want it. Next year we'll just have to try harder ;)

Where will you go this year?

I hope we can finally spend Valentines together next year. 😍

what a great idea to go camping alone! I still haven't figured out what to do on that day haha I will probably dating my own as well

hahaha you should try...

Will go on a short trip on Valentines Day, saving out SBD's to get to Camotes I reckon. But if you are willing to go with a travel buddy, please count me in ate! xx

Camotes Island is one of my favorite island. I’ve there last week of January before @wanderingdanish went back to Denmark. Thanks for the offer though, so sweet of you 😊

I will try to go to a place or an island that I haven’t been this time.

awesome... sometimes to enjoy the full blast experience is being alone and free from people.. you alone is a wonderful experience... unless your shadow leaves you along your journey.. " Is it scary? " LOL...

Sorry to be rude but don't you need 2 people for this?

It doesn’t have to be two people always.
You have to spend time for yourself sometimes. 😊

But how is that is to be considered dating then?

hey @iwanderela, nice article. I am going to Uni now and have to be far way from my girlfriend. I don't know how we are going to do it, but I really want to keep up with her. She is amazing. I am glad that you made it. Good content here, I will be coming back. All the best, @keyss.

Found you on Discord MinnowBooster channel. Nice post! I’ve been in relationships with men who have to be gone for long periods of time, so I get it. I’ve found I just have to be my own best company!

Looks fun! Doing it alone can be liberating and relaxing too :) Hope I can find the guts to do that as well. Goodluck on your next adventures!

Such an interesting idea dating oneself. What should I wear ? Haha! Anyhow, hope you'll have a lovely time with your bf though he's not with you this coming 14th. ^^

Don’t worry about your outfit, just be yourself 😊

Alone time is not only good but it's also necessary to help us come closer to our selves, recharge and reflect... I am sure you had a great date with your self! :)
