Very on-brand for the times, we know. We matched online, started talking, and pretty quickly Dalton asked me to dinner. And not the casual “Wanna hang?” kind, he made an actual reservation and planned the whole thing. When he picked me up, we were both a little nervous pretending not to be nervous. The car ride definitely had a little awkward silence, but eventually we thawed out and started talking. I honestly don’t remember what we talked about, a little bit of everything. Until we looked down at our phones and realized, we'd been at dinner for 3 hours. By the time he dropped me off, he was already asking about a second date. And I was definitely feeling butterflies. Pretty much immediately, it was something. We were best friends by the next weekend. And over time we realized… we just like doing everything together. Literally everything, even grocery shopping. My person, my partner, my best friend. And that’s our story. Short version: we met on Hinge, got a little nervous, talked for 3 hours, and never really stopped.
