Lucali is literally like the most obvious date spot ever lol.
I swear ppl call everything “dating” now. They sat there talking for 90 minutes, that’s it?? Coulda been friends or work.
Wait didn’t Sean Evans date somebody already?? Or is that a different Sean. Either way, “potential future suitor” sounds messy, like why say it on a podcast if you don’t want rumors.
The caption thing is what got me, like people are acting like no PDA means it’s definitely serious. Also candlelit table = romance math apparently. I saw a TikTok say Sean was “smitten” which is basically the only fact we have, but everyone’s running with it. Internet is wild.
