The third and final season of this dating challenge wrapped late last year in December after about 12 months of working our way through the alphabet. This series is one that probably looks quite fun and exciting from the outside but behind the scenes it can be quite stressful as my wife still has no idea about any of this, and gently suggesting certain places or activities can often be met with fairly instant rejections! Plus, after three seasons it really is quite difficult thinking of something new for some of those letters! I’m sure you can guess which ones!
My favourite letters this time were probably L, P, R, S, T and W. The majority of them were all good in their own way as this venture was really not always about visiting glamorous places and doing exciting things but just getting out there and exploring locations we wouldn’t normally go to.
It’s always good from a blogging point of view to do dates which get their own individual posts such as was the case for P, T and W but the fact that there was only three this time probably tells you that it was time to end this series as that probably means the quality of “dates” has been going downhill! Of course it’s not always possible to have such unique experiences for each letter and you just have to rely on a quick lunch date at a local restaurant or whatever.
The 26 letters of the alphabet were divided into the following five blog posts which you can see below, along with the complete A-Z choices I made for each letter.
