We met on Hinge. The dating app that is "designed to be deleted." After a few days of chatting on social media, it was not long before Daniel asked me on a first date. I met him at the bowling alley in Harrisonburg and I found out how competitive he was pretty fast. Let's just say I did not come close to a victory that night. Afterwards, he took me to one of my favorite eating spots. Nothing fancy; we both sat down and ordered wings and fries at O'Neill's Grill. We spent half the dinner conversation talking about western movies and the one and only John Wayne. I remember saying goodnight to him and smiling the entire drive home. I called my best friend Katie and went on and on about how amazing a first date I just had. She told me to calm down a little, but she was so happy that I had a good time and that he sounded sweet. More dates followed, family members and friends were introduced, the app was deleted, and the rest is history. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with my soulmate. It will truly be a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness.
