As with most modern day love stories, we met in the most romantic way possible, through an app. He swiped first, I swiped second. We talked off and on for a month until he flew out to Oregon and we had our official first date on the Northern Oregon Coast. It was a wonderful time of walking along beaches, visiting museums, and people watching on what was a very busy weekend. While it ended when Gaurav had to drive back to Portland to catch a flight, we've been inseparable ever since.
