During the pandemic, when the world was grappling with the uncertainties of daily life, we both decided to give online dating a try and downloaded the Hinge app. At first, we were skeptical about finding a genuine connection through a virtual platform, since we had always envisioned meeting someone in person. However, as we conversed over the app and got to know each other better, we found ourselves drawn to each other's personalities and interests. After chatting for some time, we took the plunge and decided to meet up in person. As we spent time together, it became increasingly evident to both of us that this could be something special.
Since the first time we met outside of the very interesting, internationally known place called Port Authority Bus Terminal, it was love at first sight. We then walked over to The Perfect Pint, where we talked and laughed all evening, until the place kicked us out. No really, we stayed at this location for 6 hours long until the employees started cleaning and closed up for the night. While our backgrounds and upbringings where very different, we shared very similar values and outlooks on life. That first date changed our lives forever.
