After a long hiatus from online dating, Malori decided to give love another chance. So one night in late July 2023, she decided to pour a glass of wine and download the Hinge dating app AGAIN. After laughing and swiping left a million times, she received a notification that a handsome man had sent her a "rose". She thought, "Hmm this guy must mean business if he is purchasing digital roses." So she went through his photos and profile and quickly decided that he made the cut. She swiped right and he messaged her a few minutes later. After 3 days of non-stop texts and calls, he asked her out on a dinner date at Giacomo's Italian restaurant. They greeted each other with a hug at the host table, and quickly sat down at the table for Matthew's job interview. She grilled him with question after question to see what his intentions were with her. If he answered any of them incorrectly, that would be the end of the date. To much of her surprise, he answered every single question of the pop quiz perfectly. She was impressed beyond words. She had finally met a man with the same morals, values, and common interests...and now we are here :)
