Lindsay says, "It was April 10th, and I was a little over 3 months out of a terrible breakup, when I was headed to my friend's birthday party in downtown Willoughby. I had tried to distract myself with the apps, and earlier that day vowed to delete them all and stop. It wasn't time yet. Then, as I pulled into the main parking lot in Downtown Willoughby, I saw a good looking guy in my rearview mirror and remember asking to myself 'I wonder where he's going?'... As I walked up the stairs of 1899 to the private party, I was excited to meet my friend Megan's new boyfriend... and next to him stood the good looking guy, Mat, his best friend. The rest of the night we bantered and played beer pong, and learned we had a lot in common including a sarcastic sense of humor. One of the first questions he asked me was.. ."what's your sign?".. Though I don't think he really knows what an Aries is, it was a good pickup line for a girl like me. The night went on, and we shared our first kiss in my car in the parking lot that IS NOW WHERE WE PARK FOR KAVA SOL (holy, full circle, batman)... And from that night forward we were literally inseparable spending the first 8 days together and celebrating our 1 week anniversary like it was our wedding anniversary. There was something different about Mat. He made me feel loved, safe, and accepted for all my weirdness, my hurts, and my dreams of the future." Mat says, "I was on my way to meet my buddy Max Himes's new girl friend. It was her birthday and I was excited to meet his new gf. At that time I was supposed to bring a new girl I met to the party, but she blew me off last min. At that moment I had sworn off all women and I was going to just work on my self. After meeting Max's new gf this beautiful bombshell of a woman walked in. She was tall, beautiful, and fierce - like really fierce. After all of the small talk and her being mean to me for 2 hours straight, I finally got through to her and we started having very deep and genuine conversations. It was amazing and I could not believe how much I was into her. After the party we shared our first kiss and planned to hangout the next day. After that we spent the next 8 days together. She made me feel capable of doing or becoming anything. She changed my life and truly makes me a better person every day. I'm so in love with this woman I can't even describe it!"
