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?

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.

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?

Damona is the host of the podcast Dates & Mates with Damona Hoffman, where modern love is made simple. You can listen wherever you listen to The Moment.
