Fed up with New York’s serial dating scene, good friends Tim and Jessica decided to date each other instead.

The two New Yorkers decided to try it for 40 days - a time period usually associated with giving up a bad habit - and to share their experience online.

Although they undertook the experiment in April, they are releasing their photos, videos and drawings day by day so viewers can see how the relationship is developing.

Jessica and Tim spoke to the BBC about the search for true love and whether it was right in front of them all along.

Timothy Goodman Interview

You might know Timothy Goodman from the wildly successful 40 Days of Dating—the dating experiment turned viral website from Tim and TGD alum, Jessica Walsh. But we’d like to share the rest of Tim’s story with you, love life aside. We met Tim at Bar Six, where we polished off several rounds of IPAs while Tim opened up about his early life in Cleveland, Ohio. He recalled the mentor who challenged him to grow up, reflected on risks he’s taken, and speculated about the future. Unsurprisingly, Tim has always been a rule-breaker—and perhaps a heartbreaker, too—but there’s more to him than that. Spend some time getting to know Tim and we think you’ll agree: he’s the kind of guy you can go have a beer with and leave feeling inspired, like we did. —Tina

The perils of getting naked with Sagmeister

When Sagmeister Inc chose to announce that it had become Sagmeister & Walsh, it must have seemed like a fun and appropriate idea to update the studio’s original naked mailer with a new nude shot featuring both partners together. But will the decision have as positive an effect on the career of Jessica Walsh as it did on that of the studio’s founder?
