We met using an online dating app, Tinder. We were both in college, Nathan was at Dunwoody and Kaitlin was at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. The first time we planned to meet, Kaitlin was at her apartment in Dinkytown and Nathan planned to bike over to spend time with her. The meet up time came and passed with no word from Nathan and Kaitlin thought surely he wasn't going to show. Meanwhile, Nathan (who was carrying a backpack filled with flowers and a homemade meal) crashed his bike bending the tire and skinning his knee. He had to return to his apartment (pushing his bike the entire way) to fix his bikes tire and get cleaned up once again. Eventually, Nathan made it to Kaitlin's apartment and explained why he was late. The beautiful flowers, his delicious homemade meal, and dedication to showing up for our first date showed a glimpse into who Nathan is as a person - dedicated, thoughtful, and a damn good cook. After that first date we both quickly realized this could turn into something special.
