Katie Thurston says that she joined Raya after her split from John Hersey.

She admitted in July 2022, “I thought it was gonna be, like, a long wait list. My friends told me it takes a long time to get approved, so I was like, ‘I’ll apply now, and then six months from now I’ll start dating.’ Well, they approved me right away.”

Katie says she selected the option to just look for friends, but that was unsuccessful.

“I matched with someone and we’re talking,” she said. “And then I get unmatched. Just for friends!”
