Transcript
Hi, Joe. Meet? We met on Hinge, but we're kind of nervous to best. And then he used to go to the collective over here on South Congress. And then my girlfriend, Coley, who teaches yoga there, was like, Joe, you need to go on a date with my friend, Alex. And so he's like, wait. That's crazy because I matched with her on Hinge. I was so over apps. I was going in to delete it and she slid onto my profile and it's been amazing ever since. Yeah. Did you send the first message to him on Hinge? He will... He's gonna love this answer Because I I typically would never do that. Best, yeah, I did. I was like, you know what? I was on it for probably a week at this point, and I was like, I'm just gonna shoot my shot. And now it's been over a year. I'll take it. I got the super heart. Wait. Was this like tier rose? The rose. That's what... Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. That's best where I, I fail in my understanding of of him. Yeah. Basically, right after we matched, we were texting for maybe, like, a few days. Joe got my number through Cole, and he randomly just FaceTimed me out of the blue. And I... Like, that's, like, serial killer vibes.
