Today we’d like to introduce you to Matt Wurnig.
Hi Matt, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m the creator of the popular TikTok series, 50 Dates 50 States. The series where I’ve traveled to all 50 states and have gone on a date with a different girl in each state, 3 different times.
I created 50 Dates 50 States during COVID-19 back in 2020 where I went on a virtual date with a girl in each state. After completing my virtual dates, I decided to quit my job, hop in my old 2001 Ford F-150 and hit the road to visit them all for in-person dates during Season 1 of the show.
Fast forward to 2026, I have completed 3 seasons of the show, traveling the country 3 times, accumulating a following of over 900k followers across platforms, generating over 500 million views on my date and travel content and being featured on over 100+ media outlets including, Good Morning America, On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, Access Hollywood, The New York Post, ESPN, and more.
Throughout my journey I’ve collaborated with well over 100 different brands and businesses to create memorable date experiences. Hot air ballooning, skydiving, cliff jumping, zip-lining, 4 wheeling, parasailing, UTV riding and lots more.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
50 Dates 50 States has been a roller coaster. There’s been a lot of highs. Going on adventurous dates, being featured all over the news, growing popularity online, garnering millions of views, hosting finales and big experiences, collaborating with major brands, meeting incredible people, learning social media and content creation. The list goes on and on.
However, there’s been plenty of lows to. Money struggles, sleeping in my truck, acquiring sponsorships, dates dropping out, life imbalance, getting led on, being part of bad business deals, living out of a suitcase, never knowing where things are going to lead or if they will ever work out. That list goes on and on as well.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m a content creator/social media influencer known for the series 50 Dates 50 States. The series where I have traveled to all 50 States and have gone on a date with a different girl in each state, 3 different times. I specialize in creating unique experiences for the dates I go on and highlighting those across social media in entertaining videos and content.
What sets me apart is this bizarre/unique dating adventure series. In world filled with millions of content creators, I am the only one who does 50 Dates 50 States which puts me on an island by myself and allows me to have a little bit more recognition and credibility compared to other content creators.
I’m most proud of the brand I have built from the ground up and continuously creating unique experiences for the dates I’ve gone on, for them to always remember.
How do you think about happiness?
Making others smile is the thing that ultimately fulfills me. There’s no better feeling than to see someone’s day brightened because of something I may have said or done. From a simple compliment or funny joke to a full on surprise experience or unique gift. It fills my cup.
Traveling is pretty cool to.
