Alex & Julia met on June 30th, 2021 for their first date after matching on Hinge and chatting for a few days. One of Julia's prompts said "Most competitive about" and then listed mini golf and go-carting to which Alex slid in the DMs and responded, "Make it bowling and it's a date." Being new to the city, Julia wasn't sure where to go bowling and put it completely into Alex's hands, so they met for pizza at Five Points and then went duckpin bowling at Pins Mechanical. After that, they were inseparable!
