Emily had recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a job opportunity. Navigating a new city alone wasn't easy, and she decided to give online dating a try to meet new people. After weeks of exchanging messages, they decided it was time to meet in person and Corey suggested a local brewery he knew well. Their first meeting was like reuniting with an old friend. They laughed over pints of craft beer, exchanged stories about their lives, and discovered a myriad of shared interests. Corey was struck by Emily's sense of humor and confidence, and Emily found herself drawn to his thoughtful nature and genuine kindness. By the time they parted ways, they both knew this was just the beginning of something special.
