Ever felt ready to call it quits on dating apps, exhausted from swiping through red flags and fleeting connections? This week, we’re diving deep into the dating trenches with Marvel's own Ray Lowe, who found her person after almost giving up on online dating. From identifying red flags to recognizing the surprising green lights, Ray’s story is all about resilience and self-growth. She shares the faith it took to keep looking, the personal work she did to prepare for real connection, and how reconnecting with her spirituality helped her know what she truly wanted in a relationship. Plus, we unpack why sometimes, finding the love you deserve means being ready for a ‘boring,’ steady love—in the best way.

Our guest today is Ray Lowe (she/her): Ray Lowe (she/her) is a Marvel event host and producer with a knack for storytelling, style, and embracing all things geek culture. Based in New Orleans, Ray is a former fashion editor turned stylist whose love for creativity and comic culture makes her the ultimate professional geek. When she’s not on the red carpet or hosting for Marvel, you can find her collecting vintage fashion, curating her wardrobe, and caring for her beloved cats. Ray's journey through dating apps and her fresh take on love and resilience bring a grounded perspective to today’s conversation. IG: @rayasunshiine
