Jill and Bela met in 2018 in the green room at a TV station. Jill wasn't dating yet, but realized she'd met Bela at the right time. She knew she needed help getting back into the dating world and decided to start date coaching with Smart Dating Academy. Lindsay and Bela helped Jill figure out what characteristics and traits she was looking for in a partner, and being funny and humorous was her top priority.
After setting up her dating profile on the apps, Jill really embraced the whole process and dated for about 18 months. She had an amazing time and loved meeting new people. Jill saw this all as part of the bigger picture. She got set up by a friend during Covid. They went on their first date by taking a two-hour walk, and she really enjoyed her time because he made her laugh a lot. He had the humor she was looking for in a partner. They kept in touch, had more dates, but kept it slow. Due to Covid, they were forced to have dates outside, like going for walks and cooking out on Jill's rooftop, with no distractions. It gave them the opportunity to really talk, listen, and connect.
