How We Met

Not a dating app. A mom's group.

We did not meet on a dating app. We met the old-fashioned way. Through a highly targeted post in a New York City Facebook mom's group. Robert’s friend Jenny, who fully considers herself a Chinese matchmaker, decided it was time to intervene. She asked Robert if she could post him, along with a short bio, in the Upper East Side Moms’ Group on Facebook, something she had seen be successful for other singles vouching for friends in the New York City area. At the same time, Kierstyn’s friend Kate was also running her own operation. Her objective: find Kierstyn a husband. Kate happened to be in that exact mom group and came across Robert’s listing. She immediately sent it over. Kierstyn reviewed the profile and said, “Great. Please reply on my behalf.” Kate was not going to be a regular mom; she's a cool mom, so she sent Jenny a direct message on Facebook. Robert received 45 responses (Robert's favorite part of the story). He handled this with complete humility. From there, he narrowed it down to four women and took them out. Yes, it became a very efficient weekend version of The Bachelor. Then down to two. Robert offered Kierstyn the final rose, and she accepted! The twist: neither Jenny nor Kate actually lives on the Upper East Side.
