Dora’s Dates

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......

I needed time for myself today. Since moving to Berlin, I’ve been running around nonstop.

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.

I love being an adult. It comes with being secure, knowing what to expect, and some stability. And date #3 feels very much like adulting. I’m meeting Blake. Very mature, down to earth, German consultant. We’re meeting at this cute breakfast place in Prenzlauer Berg followed by a walk through a farmer’s market. Another area......

What a fun evening we had! No sparks, but fun! Valentina and I were so tired from our first few days in Berlin that we almost cancelled. But with our 30 dates in 30 days Challenge at hand, it wasn’t the time to bail out! Plus, I was on my quest for this fuzzy feeling......
