It wasn't exactly "love at first swipe" for Rachel and Matt. When you match with someone on a dating app, the hope is that the conversation will progress to the point where you exchange numbers and plan a date.

It wasn't until months later when Matt wound up texting Rachel out of the blue (and a few other girls at the same time) that they ended up planning their first date and meeting in person. The rest, you could say, is history. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
