It was the middle of the pandemic, and our friend was having a (socially distant, everyone sit 6 feet apart) beach birthday party. Amanda was telling her friends how horrible online dating was when Paul (who was sitting on the opposite side of the circle) overheard. He chimed in with a few cheeky jokes and started talking to Amanda. At the end of beach day Paul's friend said to Amanda, maybe you and Paul will match online. Amanda, being her sassy self, laughed and said that wasn't possible because Paul was out of her age range. A few days later, Paul got Amanda's number from a mutal friend and asked her on a date. They went out for drinks in the West Village that week & the rest is history!
