Locked Out, but Let In

Wrong app, right person

We met completely by accident — One night, I meant to click on Facebook Marketplace… but somehow ended up on Facebook Dating instead. I was sitting at a laundromat, locked out of my car and waiting for AAA to rescue me. With nothing but time, I decided to see what this “Facebook Dating” thing was all about. That’s when I matched with Jose. When I told him I was messaging from a laundromat parking lot because I had locked my keys in my car, he was convinced it was a made-up story. He thought I was a catfish. (In his defense… it does sound suspicious.) But after a little convincing, I agreed to meet him in real life — at a cozy Cuban cigar spot in the city. And just like that, what started as an accidental click turned into the best decision I’ve ever made. Sometimes the best love stories don’t start with a grand plan — just a locked car, a little patience, and a happy accident.
