Rachel & Stephen: "I don't know how I've spent so long without him!"

How did you meet? What was your first date like? Give us all the details!
I was only on the site for a day before I sent him a smile. He was the first person I found on the site that I thought was cute. He messaged me the next day and our relationship started to grow. I was house sitting and he came to visit me and keep me company twice before our first date. I thought he was so sweet and really cute.

I was excited for our first date, but nervous because I didn’t know where it was going to go. But as soon as I saw him, I knew he was special and I wanted to spend every minute with him. Our first date was so amazing, we didn’t want it to end. We went to Artscape, got cupcakes and went to the aquarium. By the end of the date, we knew we were going to be together forever. We didn’t want it to end, so we kept finding things to do (hence the cupcakes and the aquarium).

Describe the moment you knew it was true love!
He said “I love you” first. He snuck it into a conversation about if it was too soon to say “I love you.” It was about a month into our relationship. Once I knew he loved me, I told him I loved him. We’ve been in love ever since. We’ve been together about a year now (it will be one year on July 24, 2017), and I don’t know how I’ve spent so long without him. He is the love of my life and I can’t wait to spend my life with him.
