5 years ago today Teal-Blue-Sky texted The-Dude-Abides from match.com to setup a meeting at the local Starbucks. That may be the only time I’ve ever been inside our local Starbucks. It was a nice day and after coffee was done we took a long walk down on the railroad tunnel trail down by Lake Mead. As it was very close to Valentines Day, Tomoko brought me a box of chocolate covered strawberries. These all melted into a pool sitting in the car and solidified into a giant single block in the fridge later that night.
We have been talking and texting every single day since and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
As a business model, Match.com lost two paying customers for this successful match.
