From a forgotten wallet to a bridge in Kyoto

It started with a dating app in April 2022 and a first date that didn't go to plan.

    We matched

    Two people in Tampa, one good conversation, then another.

  2. A Wednesday

    The first date

    Julian drove us to Ybor and realized he'd forgotten his wallet. So we stayed in the car and talked instead. It was the best part of the night.
