Inspired by Brooke Castillo, “If you’re really serious about it, if you really want to find someone that you enjoy spending time with, how about you go on 200 dates in the next year?”

Sam Bear (your host) challenged her friend a for now anonymous (pseudonym Susie) 30ish, professional woman, who is single with no children to document her dating journey with the challenge of 200 unique first dates.

This journey began back in the earlier days of COVID and has gone a tad longer than anticipated but the gems that have been discovered along the way cover things from red flags, heteronormativity, societal pressures, settling, lemon laws and more!
