On Bruce Linton Hager’s first date with Florence Leggett Buchanan in February 2018, he thought “everything was stacked against us,” Mr. Hager said. They met at Michael Jordan’s Steak House NYC in Grand Central Terminal, which has since closed. “Eighties music was blasting out of the bar,” he said. “There was a flash mob downstairs.…
Carlos Paz Jr. and Abigail Diaz had a rule: to see each other at least once a month in their mostly long-distance relationship. One of those visits — a trip to Chicago in 2018 — would test their future. In the Uber from the airport to their hotel, they talked about where things stood. Ms.…
It is unusual, doctors tell me, for a woman to become psychotic for the first time at age 50. Rarer still, I had no family history of serious mental illness. I was three years divorced, living in leafy, small-town New Jersey, when I looked out my kitchen window and saw a neighbor friend drop off…

The quickest way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, or so the saying goes. But what if a piece of chicken, drenched in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce, was the best shortcut to the altar? In 2016, when Lindsay Funston was an editor at Delish, she created a recipe video for a Tuscan-style chicken…
