In July of 2019, Sam and Maggie matched on Hinge. A date was planned for early August—Maggie likes to tell people Sam was a geek and had plans for late July to travel for a social studies teacher conference, and couldn’t meet in person right away. Sam doesn’t contest her geekiness. 🤓 Their first date was at The Witches Brew in West Hempstead. Their most recent date was likely at a sushi or Mexican restaurant (recommendations TBA on our Things To Do page). Sam officially moved in with Maggie and out of her apartment in the summer of 2020. Many a U-Haul stereotype jokes were made. Sam loves Maggie for her intelligence, her unyielding wheeze of a laugh when she finds something embarrassingly funny, and her undisputed willingness to put Sam first. Maggie loves Sam for her kindness and empathy, her inescapable sense of humor, and her never-ending quest to be and do better.
