Love on the Apps

00:00 /

How do people meet and marry in 2022? Our guest Rebecca shares her experience of finding love on dating apps. I chatted with Rebecca, a newly married wife, and mom and transplant to North Carolina.

“I met him in the exact way I wasn’t going to meet a man,” Rebecca said reflecting on how she met her husband.

Rebecca never thought she needed a man or even a relationship to make her happy. Even after reaching her 30s, she felt the same. Losing her father as a “daddy’s girl” and the pandemic shifted her thinking to meeting her now husband.

The New York native is an artistic creative who attended a performing arts school. She worked in the theatre industry after graduating with a degree in theatre. She now works a regular 9-5 but uses her video podcast The Guys as a creative outlet.

Rebecca tried out Hinge in 2019 because she liked that you can find people within your radius based on your preferences. Her now husband was the only one she matched with on the app. The two’s first date was at the State Fair in October 2019. The couple got engaged in December 2020 and married in March 2021.
