I'm going on 50 app dates: finding the woman of my life!

50 app dates
Jul 23, 2017 · 2 min read

So, i’ve decided to start this blog as a personal journal of my upcoming dates. My plan is to use dating apps to go on dates with 50 different girls, in an effort to find the woman of my life. I will share my experiences here.

My last dating experience was a couple weeks ago and lasted 3 months. There was this girl, from the moment I met her I thought this is someone I could one day get married with (I never thought that before). She was one of the two most beautiful and smart girls I've dated so far, and we shared a common background which made it easy to relate. Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready for a relationship, and things didn’t work out.

My goal is to get to know someone I truly like and could potentially share a life with. Kinda looking for my soulmate. I'm almost reaching 30, and so far I've seriously dated 6 girls in my life. Of which one I would never talk to again, and one who is still a best friend.

Why do I want this? I've always felt I have a lot of love to give, and also like to receive love. I believe that a true match is when you complement eachother, learning and becoming even better together than alone. Also a very simple reason is; I hate being alone. Even if that is considered simple, why not, I feel like I deserve something great in life.

I believe in creating chances in life. So to meet the woman of my life, I have to go out there and meet people. I don't believe in ’It will happen if it's meant to be’. Nobody ever found their love by sitting at home. So I think modern-day dating apps, can actually be a very nice tool to meet people.

All names will be fictional (based on famous actresses) to respect privacy. During this journey I will also try to develop a rating system to rate my dates and make correct choices on who to get to know better, and when to stop investing time into something that would't work.
