Friends were recruited to help find dates for her to fill in her calendar. Sometimes Gillian Ramsey would schedule two or three dates for a single night just to give herself a few days off. It wasn't always fun because she ended up having the same conversation over and over “What's your family like? What did you study? Where have you traveled?” And it became exhausting.

 

After going on 28 dates, Gillian gave herself the night off to have cocktails with her friend. They spotted John Sheahan at the bar and filled him in on Gillian's dating marathon. The next day Gillian and John went on a scavenger hunt sponsored by The Washing Post Magazine. They hit it off and after their first date they saw each other almost every day for the next month.
