​The way we met was a bit more unusual at the time of our meeting, but is the "normal" way now: online dating. We met over OKCupid, Simon messaged first asking "If you could pick one of these things to do on a Sunday, which would it be? 1. Sleep in and go to brunch 2. Wake up early and workout or 3. Hang out and watch football". Melissa replied with "One and three easily, never two!" Because who in their right mind would wake up early to workout on a Sunday?! This question along with many after created a connection between the two of us, and after a few short days of chatting, we made the decision that we needed to meet in person. We officially met October 3rd, 2015, and our first date was one of our favorite things to do together, go to dinner and a concert. We went to Flour City Station, had some delicious food and got to talk and dance together to a favorite local Rochester band, Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People. We talked all night and instantly connected, so much so we even saw each other again the very next day . After many more date nights eating delicious food, enjoying live music, and a cross country move with our two kitties, here we are six years later!
