How they met

A tale as old as Tinder.

After being locked in the house for months at a time, Trevor and Emily were both swiping on this little dating app called Tinder. Emily saw Trevor's profile and from his photos thought that he had a nice smile and a warm personality. His bio was a long drawn out story about how he basically couldn't kill a fly. Emily immediately swiped right. This was one profile that she was really excited about. When they matched she waited for him to send the first message and was sad that she hadn't heard from him first. She took it upon herself to send the first message. "insert beer pun here". The first thing Trevor remembers about Emily's profile is a picture of her at a dumpling restaurant in a yellow/orange sweater, somehow from the picture he felt that she was caring and sweet. Being the nervous fellow that Trevor is, even after matching with Emily he didn't message first, but was so happy to receive her failed attempt at a beer pun. They made a plan to meet up but because of the ongoing pandemic they first had to quarantine before meeting each other in person. During those two weeks they talked about a lot, realizing that they had a lot in common and that this felt pretty easy. Emily met Trevor at his apartment in Yakima, WA. She had sent her friend his address incase he actually wasn't who he said he was, but the second she walked in she saw a man dressed in a bird shirt and a blushing face, she knew she was safe. They spent the night talking and joking while eating a homecooked meal made by Trevor. Drank Moscow Mules made by Emily and watched all of the Jumanji movies in one night. From that night on they were inseparable, spending any time off work they had together. Everything felt easy and right. After three months, they decided to move into together in a new town that they both grew to love together. They have enjoyed many adventures together in the short two years since that first date, and love planning new ones for the future. They sit at home together with their two dogs, playing board games and enjoying each others company. Sometimes Tinder does work.
