At the time, Dory started a new job at Credit Karma (plot twist: she still works there) and Matt was in Graduate School. After a string of terrible dates, Dory vowed to give up online dating. In fact, Dory even considered canceling her date with Matt! One of Dory's best friends, Kim convinced her to go on the date because "he could be the ONE". Dory and Matt had their first date at an SF bar, Local Edition. Dory thought Matt was "cute when nervous" and Matt thought Dory was "out of his league". They clicked instantly... and the rest... is history.
