Hinge: The Dating App Designed to be Deleted. Both Kristin and William were new to Seattle. Kristin – a Seattle transplant relocating from Los Angeles. The newest member of her family (Hey Emmy!) was just born and it was time to be closer to home. William (call him Cody) – still struggling to find himself after his time spent in New York (well, the West Village, to be more precise). Kristin still claims Cody was her first date on Hinge. Both work in Aviation. Kristin a flight attendant and Cody an aircraft salesman. There was a passion for travel that drove us both. The first date was at Re:Public. A farm to table joint located in South Lake Union. It seemed like a safe bet for a first date – offering wine, beer, and craft cocktails. I still remember Kristin getting out of the Uber. Black leather jacket, black jeans – solid and safe first date outfit. I have no idea what I was wearing. She orders an old-fashioned. Cody’s mind is blown. What kind of a girl doesn’t order wine on a first date? Oh yeah – were are definitely ordering the fries with dipping sauces. We must have spent two hours talking. I was likely bragging about something trying to convince Kristin why there should be a second date. We left and decided to play indoor putt putt golf. Cody does not let Kristin win. After our first date we spent time in Seattle, Portland, New York, and various other cities. Finally our on trip to Italy - Cody proposed. And now, we look forward to sharing the next part of our story with you. Our best friends and family. See you in Nashville on 9/24. #MakeMeAMurphy
