Lori and Ben met on Tinder on March 8th, 2016. Ben had been using Tinder for several years, while Lori had just downloaded it - making Ben her first date! When Ben realized that he had met the woman of his dreams - a woman who wasn't yet jaded from spending years trying to find love on dating apps - he encouraged Lori to jump ship with him. Lori went on one more date after that, but it was not meant to be (we hope he's doing well!)

Ben moved into Lori's Ditmas Park, Brooklyn apartment during the summer of 2016. They enjoyed several happy years in Brooklyn, splitting time between running in Prospect Park, having brunch at The Farm on Adderly (RIP), and working on their respective graduate degrees (Ben mostly procrastinated and cuddled with their dogs).
