We met off of the dating app Hinge in Chicago in 2021! We matched and started talking pretty regularly. Brittany kept pushing off our first date because little did Blake know, she had just had a knee surgery, so she was spending some time in Palos with her parents until she felt well enough to live on her own again in the city! But… since she had just started talking to Blake, she was hesitant to tell him the real reason she needed to keep pushing it off! Blake thought Brittany was going to ghost him at the time, until she eventually told him the real reason and he was so relieved! He mentioned that he’d be more than willing to wait for their date until she was back in the city! So, we talked for another month or so and eventually had our first date! We both didn’t want the date to end, and ended up walking around the neighborhood just talking and getting to know each other! It was amazing and the rest is history!
