How We First Met: Amanda and Travis

Amanda and Travis
OkCupid to iPhone Facetime. Oh, you mean in person?

I think exploring how tragic online dating can be is funny enough. Never mind the excitement around meeting someone you really have a lot in common with amongst the vast wave of people on the interwebs. Filtering out and screening was really important to me because I didn't have a lot of time and was tired of horrible, uninteresting dates.

I think I wrote her something lame like "hi".

She said hi back. I asked her to facetime.

Screen one, does she have an iPhone? Yes.

I think it was 9 or 10 at night. I was still in the office. We talked about being awkward, being data geeks, and working in tech.

I really wasn't sure if she like me or not. First date was excellent. Two dates later I asked her to go to the Virgin Islands with me on a boat I had just purchased. She said yes.

The internal narrative of what is going on my, her head via improv would be amazing to watch.
