We are a Hinge success story. After weeks of trying to plan a first date, we finally decided that same day to meet up just as Hurricane Helene decided to roll into Atlanta. Ashlea met Barry after a hospital on-call shift at a Mexican spot, finishing her makeup in the car (as one does). Ice cream at Jeni’s followed, and we left thinking it was just another Hinge date. It was not, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.
