Connect How did your love story begin?

We met on a dating app and he messaged me in the most thoughtful and polite way. He started with " Good afternoon ma'am" and more but in that one introduction I was interested. I replied and we went back and forth for 2 weeks. The whole time I was slowly falling because he stayed polite and sweet. After the 2 weeks we decided to meet up at a Vietnamese restaurant. This is because in the beginning of the 2 weeks I told him my favorite food was pho he remembered 2 weeks later for our first date.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory is the night we first said I love you to each other. I wanted to tell him I love you so much but I was shy. He looked at me and saw my facial expression and it's like he knew what I was thinking. He said "I love you" to me first and then I said it back. We were cuddling when this happened and I remembered just rocking with excitement in bed. He held me so tightly and kisses my forehead.

What would you do with $20,000?

In the first few months of dating in about month 4 we were just talking about the future and what we hope for. We both want kids. We then talked about how we would raise them and where and we both realized how similar our dreams are. We want to build a home together on a beautiful piece of land. A home that we can raise our children and give them joy, family, and love. This is what the 20,000 would go towards. It would help us get closer to our dream.
