We met on the dating app Bumble, Hunter was (and still is) a huge dork, but I decided to give him a chance anyway. Our meeting was extremely unlikely, as I spend most of my time in Florida, where I attend college, but due to a stroke of luck, we matched during my summer break. I asked Claire out immediately and what was expected to be a short hour-long date to the Planetarium, turned into the adventure of a lifetime for the both of us. We spent 7 hours together exploring Salt Lake City. We looked for any reason to prolong the date including going to a restaurant and seeing a movie. By the end of the night, we had walked close to 3 miles. As the night came to a close, it was clear to both of us that there was something different and special about this connection. As I dropped Hunter off at the frontrunner station, he asked if he could kiss me and I said, yes. After a long conversation, we decided we would make it work long-distance and since then we've stolen every second we could texting, calling, skyping and traveling to see one another.
