How Our Relationship Began

Oana and Mike first found each other in December 2019, on Facebook Dating. We began talking and exchanged many messages over the next 2 weeks. On January 10, 2020, Mike called Oana and asked her if she'd like to go see an improv comedy show that night. Oana agreed and met Mike, where we went to the IO Theatre in Chicago. While the show was great, what meant the most to us was the 4 hours of engaging conversation we held - from what we enjoyed, our hobbies and passions, our careers, our beliefs, what we were looking for in a significant other, and our hope for the future - we had a strong connection that lead us to talking well into the night. 2 days later, on January 12, 2020, we went to dinner at the Tap House in Palatine, where we enjoyed dinner and spent another evening with hours of conversations. That night, we decided to see just how a relationship between the two of us would look - and we've been joined at the hip ever since.
