M: We matched on tinder. It was a bit of a surprise since we knew each other from school. I always swiped on people I know for the laugh later, but I didn’t think anything would come from it. Boy, was I wrong.
F: I saw his profile come up, and and I thought about how I always thought he was cute, with one of the brightest smiles, and interesting and intellectual in a way that was real and down to earth—and a huge turn on for me. When we matched, my stomach flipped, and his first message came soon after. I wasn’t sure what to make of our Tinder encounter at first, but when he teased me, calling me silly, and sent me his number, I had a feeling something good was starting.
M: She called me a few days later. Modern dating. It was early on a saturday morning and I wasn’t too hungover to reply to her request to go for a spontaneous hike. Homework or a hike with a beautiful woman…let me think. I replied hell yes and got out of bed and into my boots.
