Matthew and I first connected on the Facebook dating app. Our first in-person meeting took place at his home in Sioux Falls. As we chatted, he suggested going out for dinner, and I agreed. To my surprise, he then asked if going to HuHot would be okay, which happens to be my favorite restaurant. After our meal, back at his place, he nervously asked me to be his girlfriend. Despite my initial hesitation due to personal healing, I followed my instincts and said yes. It turned out to be a wonderful and unexpected surprise, and I'm grateful I took the chance.
