"Strangers on the Internet" Podcast Episode 30: Finding Romance in Online Communities

Geeky couple Jane-Ashe and Damon's love story defies the dating app paradigm

The thirtieth episode (Apple Podcasts link here and Spotify link here) of Strangers on the Internet with co-host and psychologist Michelle Lange features couple Jane-Ashe and Damon who met in a Facebook group tied to a nerdy fandom podcast (Binge Mode).

Damon hadn't had much luck with dating apps, while Jane-Ashe got tired enough of people wasting her time that she became a sugar baby to at least be paid for her efforts. In the Facebook group, Jane-Ashe attracted Damon's attention via her "high thoughts" upon first watching Star Wars. They started chatting privately and one visit by Damon--complete with a first date at Potterworld--was enough to convince them that he should move from Louisiana to Florida to live with her.

We explore how a lot of people, including neurodivergent folks, feel more comfortable meeting online and what might be the future for dating via online communities. Come meet a quirky couple that found love in the cyber-galaxy despite being far, far away from each other!

It happens a lot, I don't think it's even worth paying attention to. In my experience, I can recommend working with https://promosoundgroup.net/collection/streaming-promotion/spotify-promotion/. He is quite transparent in explaining what you can expect from working with him. I have communicated with him on several campaigns and he has always been very responsive and willing to help. You can buy Spotify streams through this service to get new listeners for your songs.
