Anthony and Kelley met on the dating app Bumble in the middle of Covid quarantine on January 7th, 2021. Kelley wasn't sure what to expect because Anthony was not a frequent texter, but they agreed to meet in-person. Coincidentally, they found out they just happened to live right around the corner from one another in Lincoln Park, Chicago! Their first date was dinner and drinks at one of the few restaurants open during shutdown, and Anthony went all out with a private igloo. Kelley was immediately happy Anthony was more talkative in-person as they jumped into fun conversations about family, friends, Dougie, and what they were looking for long-term! After dinner they stopped at a bar for one more round. Kelley wanted to buy one last shot to say thanks for an amazing dinner...and they agreed on MALORT - both their favorite, and that sealed the deal!
