The concept marries the satisfaction of tackling personal to-do lists with the vital work of nurturing relationships. Thema Bryant, a psychology professor at Pepperdine University and past president of the American Psychological Association, highlights the dual benefit. “You can have both — getting things done and connecting with people,” she explains. Bryant draws a parallel to group exercise, noting, “In the same way, admin dates can help with accountability, motivation and connection.” Tackling …

What 53 first dates taught me about finding love again

What 53 first dates taught me about finding love again

Published by Sam Flores

Three years after my second divorce, with the help of a dating app, I went on 53 first dates in one summer. Fifty-three times, I put on my first-date uniform (nice but not trying too hard), flat-ironed my hair and texted my date itinerary to my friend Karen to make it easier for the FBI to track my whereabouts just in case this was the internet date that finally went wrong. I had a system. The system involved a spreadsheet. I kept track of what I wore and what stories we shared to avoid repeating myself in case there was a second or third date. There were exploratory follow-up dates, but it usually took only one to know. The coffees and lunches and dinners of that season flicker in my mind like a rom-com video montage. There were some average dates, plenty of nice-guy, zero-chemistry dates, but a few stood out. Here are the notables. There was the extremely tall, minor league baseball player I met at BJ’s in Burbank. He said no more than …
