Our Dating App Story: From “Just for Fun” to Something Real We both joined dating apps partly as a joke—let’s be honest, who really takes them seriously?! 😂 I (Alison, btw) had changed my mile radius because Columbus just wasn’t cutting it, and surprise, surprise, I stumbled upon this cute engineer with a smile I couldn’t resist. 😍 On Hinge, you can send “roses” (no, not real ones, just digital ones), and after seeing that smile, I sent one his way. Now, from Dyllan’s side: It’s no secret—he LOVES his Jeeps. He swears the only reason he replied was because I had a picture of me with my old Wrangler! Phew glad I picked that photo! 😂 But my favorite part? His first text to me. It wasn’t a cheesy pickup line, just pure Dyllan: “Hey Alison with one L, this is Dyllan with two L’s.” It totally got me!
