MAN GOES ON 50 DATES, IN 50 STATES
Written by Ballzer on May 17, 2021
We all had to get creative during quarantine, and this guy used his time to connect with people across the country.
According to his website, “When the first COVID-19 lockdowns began in March of 2020, Matt tasked himself with a goal of going on a virtual date with a girl from every state. Along the way, he documented his journey on TikTok, where he’s grown his following to over 100,000 followers (now, almost 300k) and accumulated millions of views and likes.”
Matt went on virtual dates with a girl in every state, and then decided to quit his job to travel. He wrapped his truck with the slogan “50 Dates 50 States”, and set out to go on actual dates with all the women he had virtually dated. Meet Matt’s dates here! Looks like there’s still a spot open for Matt’s Wisconsin date!

Before he started this journey, “Matt went to school at North Dakota State University where he studied sport management with a minor in business. After college, Matt landed a full time job with a baseball team where he was the Director of FUN and handled all of their entertainment.” The Director of FUN? How do you get that job?!
50 Dates 50 States is officially viral. Matt has gained some big sponsors to pay for these dates, and his sister and best friend are helping him with his effort.
