40 Days of Dating Interview

by Tara Block 1

It's a common joke between friends to say "if we're both still single at (this age), we'll just marry each other," but would you actually force yourself to be in a relationship with a platonic friend? Two friends recently did just that, and they documented it all for the world to see on their site 40 Days of Dating. The friends are graphic designers Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman, both based in New York City, who attempted the 40 days of dating experiment in an attempt to break their bad relationship habits. The actual dating took place earlier this year, but they posted their journal entries and experiences (along with video and art) for 40 days this Summer, ending last Friday.

The pair spoke on the Today show this morning about the project and whether or not they're still together today. Watch the clip below, and weigh in on what you think about the concept.
