Lauren and Paul's story of how they met is pretty extraordinary. If you haven't heard the story by now, here is what you missed. In March of 2021, Paul and some friends from college wanted to go back and visit the great city of Bowling Green. Paul had graduated from BGSU a couple years ago, but most of his college friends still lived in that part of Ohio and they all planned to reunite for the weekend of St. Patrick's Day. Most of the people Paul was with that weekend were former housemates. They had a total of seven people in that house, and it was a complete mess. Paul's original roommate since Freshman year named Trenton had come back to BGSU a few times already and learned that a group of girls now lived in their old house and said it was completely redone. He had already gone into the house by randomly knocking on the front door and introducing himself to these girls as "the guy that used to live here". Somehow, they were on board with it and let him in back then. He told Paul that he needed to see what it looked like, so they made the journey over to 320 N. Enterprise Street and knocked on the door. By now, the group that lived there already knew who it was and that Paul's friends were there to get the grand tour. The house was a complete turnaround from what they were used to. Paul and Trenton shared the giant attic of this house as one large bedroom which was accessible through a small stairway from another bedroom's closet. Paul went up to the attic and started talking to a girl named Lauren. It turns out that Lauren was now living in Paul's old bedroom in the attic. Paul noticed a Cleveland poster on the wall, and they made small talk about where they were from and found out they grew up about 20 minutes away from each other. Paul and Lauren probably talked for 10 minutes during this timeframe, but that was the end of it. Eventually the group made their way back downstairs to complete the tour and one of Paul's friends said they had to leave to go to another friend's apartment across town. Paul left without asking for Lauren's phone number and they both went on with their day. Later that evening, Paul was sitting at his friend's apartment scrolling through Snapchat stories on his phone. For the older folks reading this, Snapchat stories are photos or videos people share that only stay up for 24 hours. Paul came across a video that was uploaded a few hours ago that he recognized. It was in the front yard of the old house he was just visiting. It was confusing at first, since Paul didn't know anyone currently at BGSU who would be posting from that address. The video was from someone named Lauren who he had on his friends list. Then it all made sense. Paul had Lauren added on Snapchat from months ago when they matched on the app Hinge. Again, for the older folks, Hinge is a dating app that allows you to match with people based on location. It must've been around December when Paul and Lauren matched. Paul finally put it all together that he and Lauren talked to each other on Hinge months ago and eventually added each other on Snapchat. Paul remembers the reason they stopped talking on Hinge back then was because Lauren's texting style was a bit bland. Paul thought Lauren wasn't interested in carrying a conversation on with him, so he took it as a message to leave her alone. So, he did. Paul knew he had to send a message to Lauren now to explain that he was just at her house and had her added on Snapchat from months ago. His first message was something along the lines of, "This is going to sound really weird, but I was just in your house." What a great way to kick off a conversation. Paul and Lauren kept talking from that day on and now that Paul was used to Lauren's texting style, the conversations kept on moving. They later found out that each of their moms went to the same high school, only one year apart. They knew a lot of the same people and their grandmas even knew each other beforehand. The rest is history.
