We have to reintroduce the challenge of really applying ourselves to thinking about what we do and how we might do things differently in order to enliven our dating lives. Whether you're married, whether you're single and you're seeing someone or not, the truth is that over time, familiarity and monotony of being around a person, talking to a person every single day, can really sort of make your dating life dull. It can make your interactions with your loved one dull

So the challenge of finding a dating scenario that is cool and fun and fresh for $30, that's a good one for me. But instantly what came to my mind is because it's summer and New York City, wait for that car to go by is things that are outside and things that are relatively free. And this is an idea anybody probably will end up sharing, but they're great parks here, right? They're really great parks

And I'm not trying to say that's all that matters is the poke or the stroke, but she wants to see those notes before anything happened. By the notes I mean the dead president notes. So I think I'm going to put this on my dating app profile. I will say for $30 I'll give you the best date of your life. And what will that $30 consist of? I don't know. All this huffing and puffing. I have not the faintest idea

That dating has to be dinner, it has to be flowers, it has to be a movie, it has to be a foot massage. Then there are these very real proxies of finance and of expectation. What I did with this group is I sort of made this proposition, right? I made the proposition that if we define dating as an activity you do together, that's meaningful, that there's some cohesion between the two of you about what to do. And the budget is $30

If all we ever did in dating is go out with fancy picnic basket and drink wine. And that cost us $60 and we have strawberries and that cost us $10. And we're already beyond the parameters of this sort of dating challenge. And then we do parks all the time. Right? And so the parks wouldn't be as appealing to a person dating

What do you hope to do in the next 510 years of your life? What are you working on now? What are your goals? Let me see your vision board, all that good kind of stuff. And that becomes like, the precursor to a more committed relationship. And so they don't really revisit it. Most folks I won't say everyone some folks really do travel the course and stick to it and make that a part of their relationship dynamic
Where each destination around the city is something that you really appreciate or there's a memory there or something, and creating clues that are easy enough for someone who doesn't know you to solve them. And then once they figure out what it is, then you drive to that next to Nation and then you share with them whatever it is that makes that place significant. Or I thought maybe either
