We met the way that roughly 20% of Americans meet their life partner: on a dating app (guess which one). Trevor made the initial move after Elissa's profile surfaced 3-4 times, but he knew that Elissa was special the first time he saw it. Elissa proposed that they go on a first date after nearly a week of messaging on the app: "It seems like we have a lot to talk about". Trevor insists that he was going to ask her out that night. Elissa’s edit: Some people will spend years on dating apps and others may be lucky enough to only spend less than two weeks on them. As a seasoned veteran, Elissa knew that Trevor seemed special based on his profile and initial messages. She hadn’t before seen someone who had mentioned their search for a “kind soul who genuinely loves people” or their love of hitting the high notes in car karaoke. Elissa was right (both about Trevor being special and their having a lot to talk about): their first date lasted 5 hours, and they haven't stopped talking and sharing their lives with each other since late September. In their time together, Elissa and Trevor have met each other's families and friends, traveled to Tennessee, Paris, and London, and cultivated a foundation of respect, admiration, and love for each other.
