Summary

I’m joined by Dani Kravette, a longtime friend and 27 year old navigating modern dating in NYC. We chat about being a “boyfriend girl,” feeling surrounded by friends in relationships, and debate if someone’s reason for ending things actually matters. We dissect her Hinge profile, chat about not drinking on dates, discuss her dealbreakers, and cackle over her hilarious dating stories.

No more boring dates! Take your dates (or your relationship, wine nights, family dinners & more) to the next level with Where Do You Draw The Line, the best icebreaker game of all time. Grab yours at wdydtl.com/buy and enter code ILANA at checkout for 20% off.
