Colan and I met on Bumble. I'd had enough of dating "men" in Los Angeles and was hopeful that dating luck would be on my side when I moved to London in January 2019. A friend of mine suggested that I wade back into the internet dating scene, which I wasn't very keen to do. But I started swiping (mostly left) that night, so romantic. As soon as I found Colan, I swiped right and stopped looking. He had a sweet smile, he was bald, and he had a beard. He checked all my boxes. We began texting and about 3 weeks later, we had our first date. As I walked up to our meeting spot, the Japanese restaurant Abeno near the British Museum, I told myself that this could be my last first date and had so many butterflies. So far, that's turning out to be true. And now I've married my Kentish man with the sweet shy smile! (I also asked for a kiss that first night just to make sure he knew I was definitely interested.)
