Molly and Bob first met after matching on Hinge. Although the app shows you people in your extended network, once the two started talking they were surprised to find out how close in proximity they had been without ever meeting IRL. Their offices were only a few blocks away from each other in Manhattan and Bob had just moved to Brooklyn, just a 15-minute walk from Molly’s apartment. They had been living parallel lives for months... Taking the same train into the city, getting off at Union Square and walking in the same direction every morning. Their first date was at Union Hall on a slushy, snowy night in February 2019. Over a long evening, they talked about life and work between cocktails and a game of bocce (which Molly won). There was an instant spark and connection, as they discovered the long list of things they had in common and started forging the bond they share today.
