Meeting people during the pandemic was difficult, at least for some. Like many single people during the pandemic, Lauren and Jacob were on Tinder. In December 2020, Lauren went on Tinder to delete her account. Lauren decided to take one last look at her options before deleting her account. It was during that moment that Lauren came across Jacob’s profile. She sat there for five minutes, contemplating if she wanted to swipe right on him. His biography said, “Let’s adopt a Dalmatian together. Need a date to my sister’s wedding.” With a conflicting biography like that, Lauren kept going back and forth to herself, trying to decide if she wanted to swipe right on him. But something in her mind and heart told Lauren to swipe right and see what happens. Sure enough, Jacob super liked her. Not even five minutes later, Jacob messaged Lauren. Despite him starting their first conversation with “hey gorgeous,” (one of Lauren’s least favorite first messages), something about Jacob felt different, so Lauren decided to keep talking with him. Jacob caught COVID, and spent everyday during his 2 weeks of quarantine talking to Lauren and, in the wise words of Jacob, working hard to “win her over.” Eventually, Lauren agreed to a double date with her friends Sam and Kate. On a chilly Monday evening in January, Lauren and Jacob met in person for the first time at a Carabbas. After the meal was done, Jacob joined Lauren at Target. The rest is history.
