Hey Ava! It’s so cool that you are running this experiment. I did one such during the pandemic via Substack (@dinnerclub), and it was super fun. It was a virtual blind dating experiment and we had some really awesome results. Happy to chat if you’re trying to figure out the nitty gritties or logistics.

Hey Priyanka, the experiment you did sounds interesting—I'd love to know more if you're up for chatting about it? I'm currently researching cool thing creators/writers are doing with/for their subscriber network. If you're up for a chat, feel free to send me a DM. If you can't right now, no problemo, perhaps you could write about it one day (if you haven't already) and send me a link. Thanks :)

The "how long have you been reading bookbear express" question requires a numeric answer but the question doesn't specify what unit of time.

There's another numeric-answer-only question where I want to clarify my interpretation of the question but can't.

Also a "0" answer appears faded out. (From the second such question onward, I'm typing 00 to make sure it's not treated as a skipped question.)

Oh crap, I know it’s meant to be a blind date but both my matches had profile pictures on their gmail… that’s a shame

Ava, perhaps I missed this but I’m so curious - why this experiment? Is it derived from a curiosity around love in general?
