Laura and Nate met on Bumble in October 2020. Our first date was a walk around Sloan's Lake. We attempted to get breakfast to go from Rupert's, but due to COVID and the busyness of the restaurant, we were unsuccessful. We decided to walk to Edgewater Market and get beverages to go. We sat outside and each enjoyed our beverage while we got to know each other! If you want to hear a funny (to us) story from our first date, ask Nate his feelings about side hugs :)
