He Got Game

Kirk’s heart skipped a beat when he first saw Jenny crossing the college campus. There was only one problem: Jenny was dating someone else and didn’t even know he existed. But eighteen years later, a Facebook algorithm brought Kirk back into Jenny’s life, and he finally landed a first date with her. It would take a “Say Anything”-level grand gesture to win her back. And Ingrid shares the grand gesture that almost worked on her. To hear more episodes, listen exclusively with Wondery+.

A Simple Twist of Fate

Roland had just gotten out of a 30-year marriage when he joined Match.com. He saw Michele’s profile and was instantly smitten. And she instantly spotted a dealbreaker: he was separated, not divorced.

Ingrid wants to know which is more trustworthy when it comes to love: your head or your heart?

For Richer or Poorer

Andy and Naomi didn't see money in quite the same way. Andy had committed himself to a life in comedy, which is another way of saying he’d taken a vow of poverty. He lived day to day. Naomi dreamed of being a comedian too, but she never planned to leave her full-time job with benefits. When she was laid off, she began to wonder if she could commit to forever with a man who’d rather buy a band T-shirt than save for a rainy day.

Family Matters (But Should It?)

As soon as Chris and Kim saw Iceland they knew it was where they wanted to get married. They quickly realized that Iceland was totally impractical for their aging parents, and for their friend’s budgets and vacation plans, so they found a Plan B. That was the first concession. Soon guest’s requests snowballed. Parents were unhelpful and stress grew until their dream wedding slipped away. And Ingrid wants to know: who is this wedding for, anyway?

The Taylor Swift of it All

After another bad date in New York City, Alex sent out a sad tweet into the world wondering if he would ever find his true love. He’d had some red wine, ok? But as fate would have it, an angel was waiting for him in the wings of the internet - it was Taylor Swift. She tweeted back a magical love spell that would lead him to the love of his life and a very special engagement. And Ingrid wonders: why do we stand under waterfalls and cross the country to show our love?

Liberté, Egalité, Reality

When Damona and Seth started dating, she was climbing the corporate ladder, and he was a screenwriter eating on three dollars a day. But they were committed to having an equal partnership, which to them meant splitting things down the middle, so they went on cheap but charming dates, and traded chores around the apartment. When their talk turned to their future and marriage , though, they were forced to consider: can you divvy up romance?

An Act of Faith

When Priya and Reema were little girls, they both loved Bollywood movies. And when they got engaged, they knew they wanted a big, fat, Indian wedding. But they’d never seen a Bollywood wedding with two women. The wedding of their dreams became a nightmare to plan and they threw out tradition, built their own ceremony, and struggled to bring their families together for the big day. And Ingrid wonders what religious customs will show up at her wedding ceremony. Or if she’ll have a ceremony at all.

Sharing The Love

When Kevin hooked up with his girlfriend’s friend, he assumed the relationship would end. Antoinette didn’t mind. In fact, she was glad he was dating other people, because that meant she could, too. Humans are capable of so much love, they figured - why limit themselves to just one person? And Ingrid wonders if saying yes to one person means saying no to everyone else?
