Online dating is pretty straightforward unless you lie about your location. Enter, Erin Riegert. After matching on the dating app “Hinge”, Chris messaged Erin asking how he too could learn to take naps literally anywhere. She told him to start by renting a basement apartment in Manhattan like her. Manhattan was a bit farther than the 10 block radius Chris was used to dating in, but since Erin said she’d probably be moving back to Denver in the following months, they decided to keep chatting. How did they overcome such an unconventional start? By continuing to be unconventional. Before moving to Denver, Erin had a quick stint in Austin at her mom Patti’s house. Since Erin and Chris were both sick of not knowing whether or not they were being catfished, Chris flew to Austin so they could go on a date. It worked.
