Matched on Hinge over a Soundgarden hoodie. Knew we were soulmates day one. Moved in together after five months. Truly never been happier.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We matched on Hinge and connected immediately. We couldn't stop talking to each other, but we had to wait over a week to go on our first date because Derek was out of town on a work trip. After he finally got back, we went mini-golfing, and everything about that night was easier than anything else in the whole world. It somehow felt like we had been together for years. It was hands-down the best first date either of us had been on, and it is now the last first date we'll ever go on.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our second date - when we spontaneously spent a weekend together. Friday: Got dinner, went to a concert, got drinks, had our first kiss behind a local theater where Lindsay works, spent the night together because neither of us wanted to leave. Saturday: Went thrifting, went to an impromptu murder mystery party where Derek met Lindsay's closest friends, went to a midnight movie at the New Beverly. Sunday: Got breakfast, watched football, then finally said bye because unfortunately we have jobs.
What would you do with $20,000?What we would truly like to do is simply launch the rest of our lives together with less financial stress. Lindsay would use some of the money to fund the theatre company she founded last year. With it, she'd be able to rent a space for the company to work out of and be that much closer to making it her only job. Derek would pay off his remaining debts so that he could move forward with a clean slate. We'd be able to get our own place together (without roommates) and just focus on our future.
