We met on the dating app, Bumble, in July 2018. Tess showed her sister, Tarah, his profile while up in NJ for a family event and they agreed he had a kind face and looked like a friendly guy, so Tess decided to ask him on their first in-person date! Sam enthusiastically agreed. Our fist date was at Church Hall in Georgetown. Although it was a quick 90-minute, one-drink outing, we both felt like it was the tip of the iceberg! A few days later, we had date two at the Renwick Gallery, when we realized our shared passion for arts & culture. This five hour endeavor ended with a nice stroll along the National Mall and a lovely chat on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial. Tess was hooked at this point and Sam knew he had found someone special!
