What do you do when you’re tired of the prospect of dating? Two good friends with opposite relationship problems found themselves single at the same time. As an experiment, they dated for 40 days.
Because the 40 days of dating were an experiment, they had to obey some rules, like having to see each other every day, go on a date three times a week and see a couple’s therapist once a week. They also had to fill out a daily questionnaire and document everything.
And on day 31, they held hands for eight hours straight and captured it on film — even in the bathroom!

Because the project is one part social experiment, one part design project, scroll down to see the teaser videos and the illustrations made by famous designers to represent each day of the project:
Love is a central theme in humanity across time and cultures. It’s one of the main topics in music, film, novels, poetry, and art. But what exactly is it, and why do we all approach it so differently? How does it affect us so deeply that sane people have gone mad over it?
The dating life in New York City can grow tiresome and wearing. Tim is afraid of commitment, often dating many girls at once, and he’s losing sight of what a healthy relationship means. Jessica is a hopeless romantic, jumping into relationships too quickly, always looking to find “the one.”
It’s been said that it takes 40 days to change a bad habit. In an attempt to explore and hopefully overcome their fears and inadequacies, Tim and Jessica will go through the motions of a relationship for the next 40 days: the commitment, time, companionship, joys and frustrations. Can they help each other, or will they fall into their same habits? Will they damage their friendship? What if they fall in love?
