We met on Tinder in March of 2020 and decided to exchange numbers. We then had our first date around the beginning of March at Wilton Bar in Wilton, MN. Right afterwards, the world shut down and we were no longer able to see each other for the foreseeable future. With Marco being a nurse and being exposed to the public, he didn't feel he should put me at risk. We then decided we would keep texting, snap chatting, and occasionally Face-timing with each other. Fast forward to the end of May 2020 and it's now Spring. We are able to go outside and be in the fresh air. We decided that our second date would be Morrell mushroom hunting on public land in Bagley on a Sunday afternoon. We only found four Morells but we made lots of memories. I had SO many wood ticks all over me and I am TERRIFIED of them. This is how I knew that I was really starting to like Marco. He then invited me over for dinner that following Thursday. He said he would cook me pasta with his homemade venison Italian sausage with a side of his Nona's bread. This is how I knew he was maybe starting to really like me too! I came for dinner that following Thursday, the meal was absolutely delicious and the rest is history!
