Nervously awaiting her bar exam results for the second time, the author turned to dating as a distraction from her stress. Anxious after finding herself in tears during a lunch with a friend, she devised a plan to date every day of the week. This creative approach not only helped her avoid dwelling on her fears of failure but also allowed her to meet new people. Ultimately, she passed the bar exam and found love with someone she met on a Tuesday date, illustrating how embracing new experiences can lead to unexpected joys.
I couldn’t keep asking friends to hang out just to watch me cry, but staying home to stress by myself sounded awful. I then had an idea: I would set up dates for the entire week.
The brilliance of this plan was that I would be forced to leave the house and not talk about my mental anguish, which would be an undeniably insane topic on a date.
It was the second time I had taken the California Bar, and the idea that years of school and studying could come to nothing was too much to bear.
I opened up my long-neglected Tinder and scrolled to find the cutest person with a halfway-decent opening line.
