I do feel like I caught a unicorn but it is possible. You just gotta get out of the mindset of just trying to smash. And be real on your profiles.

Hahahah

Dating sites are now a terrible way to meet women. Total meet market catering to the worst of female fantasies

It was effortless. I added her, we didn't even talk for a year. She made some interesting post about a story she wrote. We went back and forth about it a little, talked about our creative interests, then a few days/weeks later she made a post about guns, to which I replied. Then I private messaged her, explained my philosophy on the subject and asked her to expand on hers. Poked her brain a little bit.

I guess, I just made efforts to put myself out there and interact with interesting people without much expectation, as much as possible, and then we just naturally clicked based on that. Pretty much instantly after we started talking a little bit, it became pretty clear we were practically the same person.

So I was adding and talking to lots of people and it wasn't necessarily on a romantic basis. It just turned into that. On accident.

We talked for maybe a year, then the Covid stuff hit, plane tickets were dirt cheap, and I was like "well. You wanna do this? We don't really know how serious this is. They will probably start locking things down soon. Might be our only chance" And now we're married with a baby on the way.

I regret adopting this annoying fucking cat that won't stop waking me up 15-45 minutes before my alarm in the morning. Needier than my toddler, I'm not even exaggerating
