Their story is a lover's story. They met as a lot of couple's do these days on social media. They saw each others profiles, messaged and agreed to meet. They met and talked for a few months but nothing serious materialized at first for this couple, she thought he was too much and he thought she was too bougie but the funny thing is neither of them said goodbye to each other they just stopped talking.

A few months later... having made an impact on him, Dell reached out to Lynnette wanting to have her in his life in some way, even if that meant to just be friends. Lynnette was very firm in that she did not want to date someone with small children. They began with walks around his work and a friendship formed. Dell quickly realized that she was incredibly special and that there was the potential for more than a friendship and attempted to play it cool, as if any nerdy guy has ever done that. Lynnette was compassionate, empathetic, and intelligent (not to mention she is drop dead gorgeous) One day... Dell thought Lynnette felt the same way he did and attempted to lean in for a kiss after a walk... Hey now, I don't kiss my friends. (This would not dissaude Dell, who knew what an immeasurable treasure he'd found).

So friends they stayed UNTIL he managed to wear her down as she classically tells the tale. They went bowling and for walks and Lynnette increasingly fell head over heals for the dashing and nerdy gentleman. They courted for months, taking trips to foreign countries, long walks to celebrate those who fight or overcome cancer. Kisses at sunset while cuddling on a rock, trips to waterparks, days and nights of fun and creative dates and everything in between. She fell in love with him and he with her.

Sadly, for them both, Lynnette made the decision in Jan of 2023 to not continue her life with someone who had small children and ended the relationship. They separated with the plan to talk again in April after some time had passed. April came and went and sadly they did not connect.

In May of the same year, Dell reached out to Lynnette with a knock, knock joke. She replied with her customary response that sent his heart a flutter once more. They met for a walk a few days later and on Saturday, May 13th, on the boardwalk at Pere Marquette Park, Lynnette told Dell that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She told him that he would be her husband and that he didn't know it yet. That she wanted to be a part of his whole life including his children’s lives. They have been back together and getting stronger ever since.
