We met on Hinge, and I was drawn to how intentional and thoughtful his messages were. After a week of talking, we met at a cute Korean bakery for mango cheesecake. I later found out he’s dairy intolerant, but he didn’t want to ruin the moment—so he indulged me and ate it anyway. It was sweet, selfless, and perfectly him—a quiet act of love from the very start.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our trip to Puerto Vallarta—laughing in the stream of an outdoor shower as warm rain fell, watching fireworks burst from a pirate ship each night, and wandering hand in hand through vibrant streets. It was dreamy, intimate, and full of laughter. Every moment felt like magic, and it deepened our love in the most unexpected, beautiful ways.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d get a reliable car since ours is on its last leg, and finally take the trip to Japan we’ve always dreamed of. Exploring the culture, food, and beauty we’ve bonded over for years would be incredible.
