Vanessa called us after a coffee date in San Mateo with Logan—a guy she described as warm, grounded, and the kind of “real grown-up” energy she’s been looking for.

Trevor and Haley matched on Hinge and hit Happy Hour and according to Trevor, sparks flew everywhere.

But while Trevor left thinking it was the best date he’s had in years… Haley walked away with a whole other take.

Tony called us about Mariah after their pizza date in Oakland. He said she was next-level gorgeous, sharp, funny, and told this story about her grandmother making tamales that “made him see the whole future.” They bonded over concerts (both of them love live music) swapped favorite Bay Area hangouts, and even agreed that the only people still eating gas station nachos at midnight are heroes.

Shawn met Isabelle on Match and took her to a Thai place in Berkeley for date number one. He says she was cute, grounded, and had that contagious, full-body kind of laugh.

Their connection started on one of “the apps,” though Connor can’t even remember which one anymore. What he does remember is Valerie, gorgeous, quick-witted, and steady in a way that pulled him in.
