It was a fateful day in mid-October 2021 as the sweltering summer heat continued to linger, only slightly beginning to subside as two fateful souls would do the unthinkable. Download Bumble. Austin used Bumble back in his heyday (2016 was his prime) but the app was still in its infancy and lacked the requisite data sets to find him his perfect match. He remained in seclusion thenceforth. Kendall, on the other hand, had her pick of the litter when it came to guys but no one quite struck her fancy. She refused to stoop so low as to swipe until logic and reason and some strong convincing from her friends won her over. Many years have passed since Bumble’s inception and many terabytes of data have been collected on Kendall and Austin. If it wasn’t for collusion of powerful social media companies and the selling of our personal information, Kendall and Austin may have never come together. Kendall on Bumble Day 1 Kendall has uploaded the perfect fishing photo and a stunning image of her in a pink power suit with a witty caption. Gentlemen, start your engines. Kendall swiped left a total of 7.5 times before she stopped mid-swipe on Austin, being struck by the slight glimmer in his eye. She was intrigued. And something in her said she knew this was the guy. Maybe they crossed-paths at some point but there was something familiar about him. “Eh, might as well swipe right and see what’s up” Austin on Bumble Day 1,572 Austin had his technique down to a science at this point. He’d swiped and swiped to no avail and all but given up on dating apps when the unthinkable happened. He came across Kendall’s profile. “Have we met before? Does she know who I am?” Austin pondered their connection, said a prayer and hoped on all hopes that it would be a match. As his thumb grazed left to right across the smudgy screen of his phone, a jolt of electricity shocked his heart and there on the screen appeared the words “It’s a match!”. “Boom baby!” Now, in accordance with the thoughtful rules of Bumble, a match isn’t confirmed until the girl messages the guy. The power was in Kendall’s hands but she didn’t hesitate. She shot him a message right away! They confirmed they had some mutual friends from back in their days at Texas A&M and chit chatted briefly. The following day Kendall asked if Austin wanted to go to happy hour that evening! He responded with a resounding “Yes!”, but he had a dinner date already on the books for that evening. Not to worry, he’d figure something out. They met for happy hour and had an amazing couple hours of laughing, talking about goofy movies they’d seen and trying to figure out if they knew each other. And then, Austin reluctantly had to leave for his 2nd date of the evening. In the middle of dinner Austin got up to go to the bathroom and to text Kendall. He asked if she’d like to go to a show with him later that evening. He couldn’t wait the requisite 3 days to ask her out again. She responded, “ooooo, you’re fun” and said she’d meet him there. They had a great time together and made loose plans to see each other again soon. They ended up spending time together 4 out of the next 5 days and all but solidified their love for each other. In six and half months they’d be engaged. And a week short of a year they’ll be married. And can’t wait to celebrate their love with all of their friends and family.
