This blog post is more personal writing therapy than a way to share (potentially helpful) insights. It has been a week and I’m still furious. But let’s start from the beginning: Just 1 week before the Corona lockdown, a friend introduced me to a friend of hers, as she could see us as potential match.......

Uri and I met almost four years ago in a hostel in Lithuania. He was a Berliner, and weeks later I’d be heading briefly to Berlin to take the GRE (before continuing to a refugee camp in Greece for some volunteering, as one does). We had a couple of interesting Berlin dates, and in pondering......

Ten days in, with only four dates under my belt and a blog that still needed some content and design tweaking… I. was. burnt. out. It was 4pm, time for my Saturday women’s circle Zoom call. I recall giving a very rambly status update, at the end of which I muttered, “well, I have no......

I couldn’t meet Evan in person. His colleague was diagnosed with Covid, hence Evan had to be tested and self-isolate until he got his test results. Evan is another match on OkCupid. He’s originally from Australia, but has been in Berlin for quite a while.  Instead of meeting we spoke for an hour via Video......

In a rush to scarf a quick meal before going out on Tuesday, I found an Italian restaurant willing to rush a pizza order (take-away only). I ordered this along with an Aperol spritz, took my drink, found an unserviced oversized table occupied by one young boy, and sat on the edge of the bench.......

I dated someone earlier this year for a couple of weeks. Corona ended our relationship, he had to move back to his home country and I moved back to mine. “Perks” of living in a transient place such as Dubai 🙁 One evening we shared our biggest regrets in life, and he said “I know......

I switched my dog’s diet a few days ago. He got bored of his organic, raw meat diet (yes, he is a bit of a diva!) and I switched over to a mix of kibbles and wet food. He’s loving it, but the small downside is that changing his diet gave him diarrhea. In case......

I found date #4 on OkCupid. Chad. Italian, good looking, good job. I downloaded the dating app after a friend suggested it and matched with Chad in the morning. Three messages later and we had our date for the evening: Walking George in Treptow Park, potentially followed by a glass of wine. The evening was......
