I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. Welcome back. We continue today on our series of love and romance. Coming to an end

actually we've covered quite a few angles of the topic but today's guests came to my attention through one of our

listeners who pointed my attention to a book called 100 dates, the psychologist that kissed 100 frogs, we men are frogs, just so that you don't have to.

And I thought that was a really wonderful experience.

My guest today is Angela Ahola, who is a Swedish psychologist, a PhD in psychology, who through her personal life experience decided to document, if you want that process of dating that puzzles so many of us.

She found out quite a bit about what chemistry is, which dates work, which dates don't,

what pictures gets wiped on and what don't, and quite a bit about that very complex puzzle that we call dating.

I immediately reached out to Angela and she was so kind to give me her time today.

So we're going to have a conversation about a hundred of her dates so that perhaps we can

save you a few dates.

Angela, thank you so much for your quick reply and for being here.

It's such a wild experiment, I have to admit. What made you think of that?

Well, it was, it turned out I became single after a long relationship, a marriage, and after a while I just started getting the inspiration back again. It took, well it took a while before I got it, but once I again became more open and more interested and a bit less sad. I just thought how long did that take you? Oh well months but not years.

Not too much. I know of people that take a lifetime. Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah, I just started one date at a time. So the goal was not 100 in the beginning, but after a while I just realized I'd been on so many days I might as well keep going.

This is a very interesting idea. What is the date in your definition?

It could be taking a walk together, a date could be a cup of tea or a three course dinner, a date could be,

it can be very simple, but it can be very simple but it can be but it always has this goal of meeting up and

evaluate if there is some kind of romantic feelings.

Any of the hundred dates got a second date or did they all suck?
