His Side:

While browsing the endless profiles of single women I stumbled upon a picture of a really cute girl at a coffee shop that I recognized. I thought, "Hillsdale!" and "She's really cute!" I tried to come up with the most clever message I could which was, "What do you order at Rough draft? The coffee, or the cocktails?"

I had almost given up hope of a response when a week later I received a message back. Funny thing was that I was actually attending the Hillsdale County Fair that day. The message said, "I don't drink coffee, I usually get one of the teas."

I was quite excited and continued to message her, we found out that we had lots in common about how we felt about family, politics, religion, and more. Within a week I asked her out on a date.

Her Side:

If I start a conversation with a guy on a dating app, I'm almost always willing to go on one date with him. It's the second date that's the real test. And O'Neill was the only guy I was actually hoping to have a second date with, after the first one. Meeting him and talking with him in person made me want to know him more. He did not disappoint. We went out two weekends in a row and decided to be exclusive by the end of date two.
