Kit found Alex on an online dating site. Per his profile, she sent him a cheesy joke -- "What's brown and sticky... a stick!". Alex, being the king of dad jokes, had already heard this, but appreciated the effort. They began messaging each other daily - discussing worldly topics such as who would win in a battle between a french fry and a tater tot. When Alex & Kit officially met in "real life" at a local bar, Alex gave Kit a giant hug when he first saw her. They had a couple drinks, and Kit thought talking and joking with him was so easy - like she already knew him. Kit liked how weird and off-beat he was, and dating him would be anything but ordinary. She knew that their relationship would be full of laughter and fun! Alex first fell for how awesome and different she was from anyone he had ever met, AND thankfully, looked exactly how her profile photos looked! Alex thought Kit was real and down to earth, and after just a few hours with her, he could tell that he was going to miss her when they went their separate ways. Shortly after their first meeting, Alex's life got a little crazy and he had to leave town for a while to help out some family. Kit continued talking to Alex, which showed him that she was such a caring soul and that there was a real connection there. Alex says his connection with Kit helped him forget about all of the bad things in life that were going on, and made him stronger just knowing that he had someone so darn special waiting for him. Even though they had to wait to meet again, Kit was thrilled to have someone to have adventures with. Someone who was willing to try their hand at things they might not be good at (like soccer golf), and would also push her out of her comfort zone and help her grow as a person.
