The Bumble Story

As the faiths aligned one beautiful September day, Ching and John happened upon each other on the bumble app. John was immediately taken by the beauty of ching and quickly swiped right to initiate a match. Whereas Ching, who had been warned to be on the lookout for the blue eyed white men, attempted to deny the match. However, faith it seems guided her finger to the right instead of her initial reaction to the left, thus creating a match. From there they spoke long into the night as newly found attraction blossoms and takes hold. They met for their first date at a Thai restauraunt (which neither of them like Thai) and John impressed ching with his knowledge of Tagalog and told her, "It is nice to meet you," in her native tongue. It wasn't until many months later when Ching's friend, Mark, let it be known to John that what he actually told her in a lateral translation was, "It's delicious to meet you." Ching, it seems, wasn't bothered by this appetizing compliment, but she did have concerns over the classic American look John wore to the first date, which was a simple white t-shirt, blue jeans, and he chewed gum to keep that breath ever so fresh. Ching, was not impressed. Nonetheless, she was mesmerized by those blue eyes, and had whimsical imagination of getting to spend the rest of her life with him. Ching overlooked the woeful attire choice by her suitor and they shared many enchanting adventures together.
