I’ve been trying to write this post for hours now. I have a block in my head. Harry is one of the closest friend of my sister’s husband. The crossroad of family (or close friends) and dating can get really messy really fast. My sister’s husband had this idea of potentially setting us up for......

I was really hoping that immersing myself in “dating mode” would shoot off the right energies to attract people across different circumstances. I was right! Yesterday, I had planned to meet Financial Inclusion CEO Guy for a second date, walking in a park just west of Berlin. Rain foiled our plans, so I was all......

This date was challenging. I knew that it would be. I knew Gilead from before. One of my closest friends introduced us when Gilead was visiting Dubai a few months back. We had a great night out and exchanged some (drunk, but passionate) kisses towards the end of the night. He left me confused. On......

(Recall: Xavier saga part 1) Xavier is a slightly strange one. And I know he’d say the same of me. Maybe that’s why we get each other. Despite some arguing and regular frustrations, a lightly-slacked spring seemingly tugs on us when we’ve been apart too long. This was our first get together since I met......

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......
