In this special live episode recorded at the legendary 92nd Street Y in New York City, Matchmaker Maria is joined by her dear friend and style expert Chrissy Rutherford for a fun, honest, and wide-ranging conversation about modern love. The two dive into Maria’s new book, Ask A Matchmaker, and how it blends human behavior, communication theory, and decades of matchmaking experience to cut through the noise of online dating advice.

They also explore how social media, societal expectations, and emotional context shape the way we date today.
