We met right when Hinge started charging customers to match them with people they probably would click with. Ashley tested a ‘rose’ to give for the first time as a free offer. She gave it to a guy who wore a cute beanie, had massive arms, and liked pineapples on his pizza. They connected over random topics like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Disney World, and within a couple of days, went on their first date.

“I was enamored by her gleeful disposition. Her heart is so pure, her smile is so bright, and I just loved everything about her when we first met…”

“In my head, I thought he was going to act nerdy on our first date based on his Instagram. I was correct because he did, but I had so much fun! I loved the smirk he made whenever he talked about his passions and family. I remember driving away that night, thinking I should probably save this date because it’s going to be significant later. "
