Karim messaged Melanie on Match after something in her profile caught his eye. They chatted a bit, but Melanie went quiet. After about a week, Karim decided to reach out one last time. It turns out, Melanie had taken a bit of hiatus, and decided to respond to Karim's last message. Fortunately she did! They initially had an online date, then moved to their first in person date. They discussed all of the things NOT to discuss at the dinner table, but knew that they were a good match! The second and third date were both long dates of getting to know you, laughing, and truly enjoying each other's company. Since then, both have been introduced to and integrated into their respective families, and the rest is history!
