Willie and I met on a dating app during the pandemic. I liked what I saw and didn’t waste any time getting to the point: “Are you vaccinated?” His reply was almost cocky-like: “I’ve been in the military; I’m basically vaccinated against everything.” But I wasn’t taking any chances. I never had COVID and wasn’t planning on getting it. “Thanks, but I only date fully vaccinated men. Take care!” And just like that, I was gone. Fast forward three years later, and who pops up again on the same app? Yep, Willie! This time, I reached out, and his response was bold and to the point: “I’m fully vaccinated, booster and all. Now, how about that date?” In December 2022, we reignited that spark, and by January 4, 2023, our vibe was undeniable. Fast forward to September 24, 2023, Willie was down on one knee, proving that sometimes love needs a little extra shot!
