In 2020 and deep in the pandemic, we did the only reasonable thing to do, download a dating app. Hinge's clever advertising made it the winner. After a couple weeks of talking, and Rachel almost being scared off by pictures of Daniel's dog, they decided to meet. In true Rachel fashion, she changed the meeting place so that she wouldn't have to walk around downtown at night. We met at a local brewery and talked for several hours before leaving. After a couple months of dating, and both feeling confident the other was relatively normal, we both deleted our dating apps for good.
