After a month of assessing possible connections on the Hinge app, Shanelle decided to give one last guy a chance before giving up on finding love altogether. That guy was Tyler. Both Shanelle and Tyler listed that they loved food and dining out, so going to a nice dinner was the obvious choice for their first date setting. As a lover of Japanese cuisine, Tyler settled on a lovely little sushi dinner, and even arranged for them sit at the bar to watch the sushi being prepared for added enjoyment. Just after they sat down, however, Shanelle turned to Tyler and confessed that she had built a wall in her life to keep seafood out—even going so far as to avoid the seafood aisle at the grocery store! But Shanelle bucked herself and discovered that she loved sushi. Over the following months, they learned that they shared a passion and love for music and live concerts, playing board games, and so much more. But mostly, they discovered how much they loved being together. The rest is history.
