Yep, they met on Tinder. It's a tale as old as... internet dating. Who messaged first? Oh Olivia, of course. Tired of matches with no follow-up communication, she sent "Oh hi Mark!" It was a reference to The Room, a movie she has never seen. But did it work? I mean, we're here aren't we?
Strangers meeting for the first time, Mark offered for Olivia to visit him at his workplace. He didn’t expect her to show up, but she was feeling adventurous. She went to meet him, and he was busy 80% of the time. There were horror movies playing. Olivia hates horror, but she stayed for the 20%.
Mark's band Shamefinger was playing at a Halloween party, so Olivia employed Anna, of course, to come along. Olivia dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and Anna as a 20s flapper, they were on their way. Mark, dressed as Steven Universe, tried desperately not to follow Olivia around all night, but couldn't help himself. After a beer run of alone time, and more party time, they ended their first night together at what they call their first date.
Almost 2 AM after the party, Mark got into Olivia's car and they went to Taco Bell. You thought it would be anywhere else? HA! He thought she was just as beautiful in her Hello Kitty onesie as in the Red Riding Hood outfit, and she was not wanting the night to end when she drove him back to his car, full of tacos.
