How they met

August 27th 2023

Allie and Cory met on the infamous Tinder. After years of let downs and being single they both had lost a lot of hope. That is until they matched with each other on the popular dating site! Cory and Allie messaged for weeks all while Cory was doing his time at the fire academy. They talked about everything, found out they shared the same dark and sarcastic sense of humor that most don’t enjoy, and that they loved scary movies and were similar in so many ways. Their days were filled with long paragraphs back and forth, only ending when Cory was in class. They FaceTimed at night and on weekends staying up way too late on the phone. Finally, Cory asked Allie out on a date. The date was supposed to be a movie, one that Cory showed up to 15 minutes late. Luckily, he was late because he was getting flowers and Allies favorite Gatorade. The second she saw him walking up with the Gatorade she had told him about weeks ago, and flowers which she never gets, she knew he was different than anyone else. The movie date turned into a second date of a walk around Spring Lake, they held hands and Allie made Cory take a selfie with her so they could remember their first date (see below). After the walk they said what they thought was their goodbyes. Cory called Allie 10 minutes later saying his dinner plans were cancelled and asked if she wanted to go to dinner. They ate one of Cory’s favorite foods, ramen and they sat and ate for hours diving deep into their childhoods and life. Their one movie date became three first dates in one and they never looked back.
