We matched on the popular dating app Hinge! Alison noted that Tyler was tall next to a surfboard, which fit a height criterion and Tyler liked Alison's smile. The rest is history! After each other returned from family vacations, they made a date! Alison was not on time (per usual) and Tyler was anxiously pacing in front of the restaurant waiting for her to arrive. Alison stood across the street and watched him for a few minutes, texted him that she was close, and enjoyed the look of relief spread across his face. Dinner was a blast, and they have been together ever since.
