In 2021, the world might have been a little upside down, but Hinge became our unexpected matchmaker. After swiping right and exchanging a few messages, we decided to meet up at an arcade for our first date. I thought we were going for games, food, and drinks—it ended up being just games! Luckily, I won all of them, which made up for the lack of food. That night quickly became one of our most memorable. From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark. We played game after game, and before we knew it, we were the last ones in the place. Time had flown by, but neither of us was ready for the night to end. As the arcade lights dimmed and the parking lot emptied, we found ourselves dancing under the stars to music only we could hear, with planes flying over us. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie—just the two of us, twirling and laughing as if we’d known each other forever. Just three days later, on our second date, I threw caution to the wind and asked him to join me on a spontaneous trip to Nebraska. It was bold, maybe even a little crazy, but something told me this was just the beginning of our adventure together. To my surprise, he said yes, and we haven’t looked back since. Now, three years later, our story continues as we step into the next chapter, excited for all the adventures yet to come. And thankfully, he hasn’t forgotten to feed me since!
