Once upon a time in the frozen tundra city of Chicago, two souls swiped right on the grand dating app, Bumble. Jess, a bubbly Clevelander with a penchant for emoji’s, and Matthew, an uptight east coaster with a love for spontaneous drinking, found themselves stuck outside a previously marked open bar. The two hugged and exchanged pleasantly surprised smiles, knowing that this was not a catfish scenario.

After frantically looking around for an open establishment that serves alcohol, the two walked into “the diver”. Jess of course ordered a tequila while Matt reached for a Whiskey and the courtship began. 3 hours passed all to quickly each not wanting the night to end. But similar to Cinderella, Matthew had to be home at a certain time due to an early meeting. With Jess’s approval and a “oh you are so responsible” expressed they headed outside to say goodnight.

As many who have dated know this is usually when an awkward first kiss is had. However, tonight the awkwardness left the room and the first of many goodnight kisses to come was had.
