Summary

Caroline Sacks joins the pod to break down her Hinge meet-cute turned long-term love story — from casually dating in NYC to defining the relationship months later. We talk about dating without intention (and getting lucky), being the “boyfriend girl,” and why marrying with intention matters more than dating with it. She opens up about choosing a calm partner over chemistry chaos, navigating content creation in a relationship, and what wedding planning has really taught her about friendships. Plus: 24 venues, no dress (yet), and the politics of the metaphorical seating chart of life.
