A Spark to Tinder - How We Met

It was late 2017 when Kay and Suraj, both focused on their studies and navigating the often frustrating world of online dating, found themselves swiping through Tinder in search of something real.


In a sea of mundane messages, Suraj stood out with a line that immediately caught Kay’s attention: “Let’s get down to business, to defeat the Huns.” It was playful, silly, and showed an interest in Kay’s love for the movie Mulan, which she expressed on her profile.


After a few minutes of conversation, they quickly moved to texting, wanting to move away from the app and get to know each other better.


Although it took some time, the two planned a date at Starbucks for their first date. Upon their first time meeting, Kay was captivated by his charm, wit, and warm demeanor. At that moment, she knew with absolute certainty that she wanted to be with him.


From then on, the two had many wonderful dates and extraordinary experiences together, some even more amazing than they ever could have imagined.


However, their love story has only just begun.
