Jeff and Mari met each other from Bumble and shared some of their favorite conspiracy theories. Their first date happened on one of the coldest days in January at Highland Lanes Bowling Alley. Jeff thought Mari was going to flake on their date because she told him she wanted to go shop for a new coat right before their date. Mari pulled up to the bowling alley and Jeff was waiting outside, freezing, holding a book in his hand for her. They bowled for a couple of rounds, and Mari thought he was so awful at bowling- found out later that he didn't care about playing at all because he wanted to keep looking at and talking to Mari. Mari was too busy being competitive that she missed the signs. They extended the date to Pinthouse Pizza where they shared early life stories and pictures of their spoiled dogs. The rest is history.
