"Hmm, this man's profile is intriguing," Cyndi thought, so she decided to give him a ping. To her dismay, he didn't respond right away. He thought he'd make her wait. She then sent him the first message. Yes, Cyndi was the pursuee and Ryan, the pursued. The typical chase begins. They met at Signal Hill on Mar. 26 2022 for their first date. Afraid that Ryan had easy access to rat poisons (considering what he does after all), Cyndi brought food and he brought the bottle. He got extra brownie points with the addition of a bouquet and chocolate covered strawberries, which he made himself by the way. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Signal Hill sunset, they embarked on the beginning of their lives together.
