Burlesque dancer Lavendelle met her husband in the basement of a fraternity when she was 17 – but before that, she'd had many a romantic meet/cute moment, as well as many a not-so-romantic back-of-the-cinema makeout session.

Sophie White met her husband way too young – or so she says, meaning she missed out on the "fun" (? questionable) of Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. But she likes him a lot, so it's probably okay. (But she'd still like a little hall pass and thinks all bisexuals should get one.)

New York Times bestselling author Ashley C. Ford knows a lot about love, thanks to her husband, who taught her that love isn't a competition; her upbringing, which showed her the ways she didn't want to be loved; and the work she's been able to do on herself, which allowed her to believe she's worthy of that love to begin with.

Somebody's Daughter, Ashley's memoir, is available now wherever books are sold. From indie booksellers, Split Rock Books in the US has it; as does Gutter Bookshop in Ireland. You can check out Ashley's website here, and follow her on Instagram and Twitter, too.

Hello and welcome to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything in between. 

I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, and I’m here to ask the big questions. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? In other words: tell. Me. Everything.

This is a podcast for romantics; a podcast for lovers; a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday as I talk to someone about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of their romantic histories. Subscribe to Meet/Cute wherever you get podcasts.
