The two of us met online through an app called Bumble. Mike had recently joined the army and was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. Covid restrictions were extremely strict so Mike had to complete a two week quarantine upon arrival to the base. We chatted online during that time until we went on our first date in Southern Pines. We had an amazing dinner at one of our favorite restaurants called Ironwood... the dinner lasted four and a half hours! Our waiter had to tell us they were closing so we would leave. Neither of us wanted the night to end so we went downtown and stopped at a brewery called Hatchet. We both felt like we had known each other for years and our conversation continued... another two hours... closing down the brewery, as well! The entire night was smooth, easy and natural. It was the best date both of us have ever been on...and the rest is history!
