Forever & Ever

Like many our age, we met on the dating app hinge. Our first date was a slight disaster - we drove all the way out to a brewery to discover it was closed, and then drive all the way back to Portland to go to a different one. Nevertheless, we both decided we liked each other enough to go on a second date. We both agree that on the second date we knew we were right for each other, and we we've spent almost every day together since. Claire's first impression - I thought he was one of the prettiest men I had ever seen. He was super tall, had striking blue eyes and gorgeous cheek bones. I also thought he was incredibly kind, nonjudgemental, and we shared a lot of the same hobbies and interests. Jacob's first impression - I thought that she was beautiful, interesting, smart, funny, kind and considerate. I had a great time chatting with her, and I knew that she was someone special.
