A date in the Ozarks for ‘50 Dates from 50 States’

Mr. Matt Wurnig is a bachelor looking to fulfill some time with doing some dates in every state. What a way to visit and enjoy what the states offer and to meet new people and friends for a time. 

This is a glimpse into his date here:

·       “I picked my date (Ms. Savannah Skinner) up. We visited and played the Aux game, of course. It's a tradition! 

·       We started our date ziplining at Wolfe Mountain north of Branson, MO. It was so exhilarating to fly across the tree tops!

·       We made our way back to town and to Andy's Tiki Bar on Lake Taneycomo where we had some margaritas.

·       Then we went back to hang out and let her check out my cool Elvis Presley Penthouse Suite at the Branson King Resort and Suites.

·       We had a blast at the Sound of Freedom Gun Range to target practice in Ozark, MO.

·       Then we finished the day off with a surprise candlelight dinner at my date's wedding venue where she works—Greenhouse Two Rivers in Highlandville, MO. What a beautiful venue to be at!”

During my talk time with Matt, here is a bit of our conversation.

Where is your hometown?

Huntley, MT, a little farm town outside of Billings, MT

How did you decide to start this endeavor?

It all started during the COVID pandemic in 2020. When the whole world shut down, I decided to go on a virtual date with a girl in every state as a pandemic project. It blew up from there.

How are the girls chosen to be your dates?

They have to submit a date application where they tell me a little about themselves and share what they would plan for a date if selected. I look at their creativity, location, age and social media profiles when making my selections.

How do you decide what towns to choose to look at?

I map out a whole route that is the most efficient for traveling.

Do you include the girls in the plans?

Yes! The girls and I plan things out, and I send them a date itinerary with times of things so they know when I'll pick them up and what we all have planned. It is a part of the application that they fill out as well. 

Will you do another season or is this your third and final?

This is my last season, but I am looking to have someone be the new star next season!

Will you decide on a girl from all seasons, or just this final season to be your top winning date?

It will just be from this season! I will have a finale that features my Top 5 favorite dates of the season and will choose my winning date then.

Are you wanting to find "Your Lifetime Date" this season, and will you settle down?

Open to it! I guess we'll have to see! So- stay tuned!

Would you like to give a shout-out to your sponsors?

Yes! My sponsors are MOOYAH, 7 Brew Coffee, Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux and Gel Blaster Nexus. Without them this would've been impossible to do! So, a 'BIG THANK YOU' to each of them. Please find a way to go and support these businesses!
