Has anyone heard about " 40 Days of Dating" ?
The love experiment: A 40-day dating challenge
Two people: one romantic, one commitment-phobe, together as a couple, like it or not, for 40 days.
It sounds like daytime television, or the plot of a new Hollywood rom-com. But it’s a real-life experiment being played out by two New York designers and close friends with a gift for storytelling.
To work through their individual relationship issues, Jessica Walsh (the romantic), 26, partner at design firm Sagmeister and Walsh, and Timothy Goodman (the commitment-phobe), 32, independent designer, illustrator and art director, decided to go through the motions of being in a relationship after years spent chasing love.
They’d been platonic friends since 2008, often poking fun at each other’s dating habits. While on a trip to Miami late last year – Goodman was seeing several people at the time and Walsh was heartbroken over a breakup – they thought it might be interesting, and possibly therapeutic, to confront their own relationship issues by analyzing their behaviour while dating one another. To their surprise, the love experiment has generated international interest and rumours of movie deals.
