Souls donât meet by accidentâAnonymous
The story of how Asia and Quentin met demonstrates how timing really IS key.
In late Summer 2022, they were both single and looking for someone with whom to start a life. Asia and Quentin were on Bumble (an app in which women are the ones to make the first move). After months of Bumble swiping, neither had found what they were looking for.
It wasnât until Quentin found the profile of the most beautiful girl with enormous dimples. Quentin did the one thing he shouldnât do: overthink and close the app. Concerned that the profile of the deep-dimpled girl might be fake, Quentin decided to wait.
Quentin usually spent his summers working at a local bank once he was finished teaching for the year. This particular July morning, most of his bank coworkers were having an early meeting, leaving him to open the drive-thru window. This is where waiting paid offâŚsort of.
The first customer in the drive-thru was someone he recognized, but he couldnât remember from where. Upon taking the transaction and recognizing her name, he quickly realized it was the deep-dimpled girl from Bumble; she wasnât fake.
Quentin quickly finished the transaction, gave her a receipt, and told her to âhave a great day!â because he couldnât make a move at the window. After Asia sped away to make it to work on time, Quentin made the decision: the next time he saw her profile, he was âswiping rightâ. That afternoon, Quentin did just that.
Meanwhile, Asia saw the bumble profile of a cute guy in a bow tie, and immediately swiped right.
It was a match!
Because of Bumbleâs design, Asia got the conversation started.
âHey, Hey! Happy Sunday!â
Simultaneously, Asia, being the overly investigative person she is, also began her background check. Quentin shared that he worked at Tates Creek High School as an English teacher. Asia texted her sorority sister, who worked for the same school district as Quentin, to see if she knew who he was. The sorority sister didnât know Quentin but was great friends with his then Principal.
After a seal of approval from Quentinâs Principal and two weeks of conversation, Asia and Quentin went on their first date to Suttonâs.
Their relationship was worth the wait.
