Matt and Maria owe a big thank you to Hinge for introducing them.

They first matched in 2021, but Matt wanted a break from the dating apps and deleted Hinge (unbeknownst to Maria).

Fast-forward a few weeks, and Matt downloaded the app once more, only to match with Maria again. Maria opened the conversation with, "We've done this once already", and they bypassed small-talk and found their way to legitimate planning of a date.

Matt and Maria "met" at Tap 42 in Coral Gables on October 2, 2021, and they stayed there for five hours. They spoke of Flanigans, Beerfest, and Belle - the perfect trifecta for a second date at the dog park, where Matt met Belle, Belle barked at Matt, and Matt brought rib rolls.

After that date, Hinge was deleted, and here they are now.
