Hi, I just wanted to thank you for this post, it is great!
So the big question we should ask ourselves is how the hell are we to decide on our optimal number of dates… The size of N.
btw, coming to think of it, even if you “used” all your N dates with no winner (since the best was < K), you can always cheat and increase N…
Which bring up the following: Maybe it could be a better strategy to change (at least for big samples) the rules a bit and choose any date that is better than the first K dates OR the 2nd best date in the first K dates. Sort of a safety zone…

This basically makes Date #1 as the gauge. A gauge of do you think can you do better or have you maxed out. Classic “reacher” and “settler” scenario. Realistically speaking, are there more people out there who will be 1) willing to date you and are 2) better than Date #1. Sometimes people even have trouble finding a person who meets those 2 criteria. Haha. (Ex. Lots of people out there better than Date #1, none of em willing to date you. Hahaha)

Not everybody’s “sea” is the same. Some will have infinitely more options, some will max out early.
