His story: I still remember getting a text from my brother asking for a photo because he said he’d found a girl who “matched” me. The problem? It was winter—cold, dreary, and windy—and I definitely was not looking my Sunday best. I sent the best photo I could manage at the time, only to realize later I looked borderline homeless 😂. Luckily, that didn’t stop us from talking. Late-night calls turned into real conversations, and before long I knew I wanted to ask her out. So I took my shot—on my birthday, just one day before Valentine’s Day. I showed up looking my best and was met with shocked reactions all around. I still remember her telling me I didn’t look anything like my photo. But by the end of that first date, I already knew—before I even headed home—that I was going to make sure she was my girlfriend. Her Story: I was introduced to Kevin through a family member who told me they know someone who is very passive and introverted but very kind and sweet. I said I didn’t mind getting to know him, as long as he initiated the first conversation. And he did. One night, Kevin texted to ask if he could call me. I said yes—and it quickly became clear that he was neither passive nor introverted. We talked on the phone every day for three weeks before he asked if he could visit me for his birthday, the day before Valentine’s Day. I said yes. He came down, we went on our first date that Friday, and by Saturday, he asked me to be his girlfriend. The rest, as they say, is history.
