Sam and Natalie met online in Fall of 2022. Natalie was skeptical of online dating and promptly ignored Sam's match, but he was persistent. She quickly realized that Sam's charms were hard to resist and a first date was set! On the evening of the date everything went wrong. Natalie couldn't get an Uber, there was traffic everywhere, and the restaurant gave up their reservation. But both Natalie and Sam knew this was a special first date and wouldn't give up on it.

Conversation flowed so well that the couple talked for hours. When the restaurant closed they moved to the bar next door and kept talking. Sparks were flying. Both practically floated home that night, completely smitten with each other. That was when they realized they hadn't paid the bar bill! With 10 minutes to closing, Sam sprinted back and paid the bill. What a gentleman. Natalie knew right then and there that Sam was special.

Two years later the couple live together in Pentagon City with their little cat, Ingrid Bergman. Sam works as an accountant and is studying for the CPA exams. Natalie works in copyright law at the Library of Congress and is in law school. Both Natalie and Sam love dance parties in the kitchen, eating dinner at their local diner, and late night frolicking through the grocery store.
