Andrew, 35, and Susie, 33, met on Tinder in 2018. Having overcome their very different attitudes to new-age spirituality, they now live ‘monogamishly’ together in Sydney
In 2018, Susie was balancing her work as a criminal prosecutor in New South Wales, Australia, with her interest in spirituality. “I’d been raised Christian but left the church when I was a teenager,” she says. “I later discovered new-age spirituality and went on my own journey.” Although she was keen to meet someone to share her life with, there weren’t many opportunities for dating in the area where she lived.
When she was asked to travel to Sydney for work, she leapt at the chance. “As soon as I arrived, I went on Tinder and began lining up dates for every night I was there.” Her first date was with Andrew, who worked in market research. “I ‘super-liked’ her profile because I thought she had a lovely energy,” he says.
