Amanda and Myles' lives had taken parallel paths until they converged on their first date in November 2020. Both were born at Baltimore's Sinai hospital in January 1993, both grew up in Baltimore County, only miles apart, and both attended local Baltimore schools next door to each other, yet they had never met until the Hinge dating app worked its magic.

Amanda and Myles met the day after Thanksgiving in 2020, a global pandemic would not prevent them from spending time together. Myles treated Amanda to a fine dining experience and sparkling conversation, while Amanda dazzled Myles with her sense of humor and nearly hit him with her car. Amanda and Myles quickly became best friends and their relationship developed as they grew to love each other's sense of humor, love of food, and connection with family.
