My second date with Evan and our first in-person date (if you haven’t done so yet, read about our virtual date here) I loved everything about it. The fact that he wanted to know what I like to do ahead of the date, so that he could pick a place I’d like. That he picked......

Wait, was this a date? For the first fifteen minutes, I wondered if I had made a mistake. Come to think of it, her texts had been very eager. She was sitting very close to me and being chummy. I thought I was meeting to hang with a new friend, but had I misread her......

I was realllly nervous. Really really nervous. This was my first real “blind date” in the 30d30d saga. Yes, I mean from an online dating app. But I had picked him, we had texted, and I had no clue how he or I would be together in person. Nervous! I think my ego really drove......

I needed time for myself today. Since moving to Berlin, I’ve been running around nonstop. I love every minute of it so far, but at some point finding a routine, catching-up with friends, working (a lot!) and dating can fill day after day and there’s no real time to “live” in between any more. I......

Being single can have three reasons: 1) I haven’t met my match yet 2) I’m undatable 3) my expectations to a potential partner are too high. Addressing 1) is the whole reason behind his blog. Addressing 2) might be a reason, but I’m not ready to believe it just yet. It might best to explore......

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......

Many of us know what it means to take on a new work project and make it a success. But dating has never been as straightforward for me.  Dora and I are now six days into the challenge. That’s six days into our new city, six days into our brand new lives. Six days into......
