Connected on CMB in April 2013

“A little over 2 years ago, I joined CMB on a whim. I was fed up with the LA dating scene and thought to myself, what do I have to lose?! Well, 2 years later I can now say…I lost nothing, but I gained EVERYTHING. Out of the matches I received from March to April 2013, I only clicked “like” twice and matched with both. However, I only took one of them up on the offer to going on a date. Two years later I am still with this amazing man. We moved to Austin, Texas together in August of 2014, and we are now engaged and living together!”

“We count our second date as the first time we got together. The first time, we met for coffee (although, ironically, neither of us drink coffee) and chatted for a few hours. I didn't know if he was interested or not, but then he called me the next day to ask me out for Valentine's Day. He told me that he felt like he had known me for 6 months, and I felt the same. I found out that he had only been on CMB for THREE days when he met me, while I had been on it for about 5 months. Just be patient! It's honestly all about the right timing.”

“We just dove right into it [dating]! Our third date extended into a weekend trip to NYC together and we just stopped counting after that! Due to major summer and career plans, we knew we were about to be separated for a while. So we just moved really fast! He booked tickets to come with me to visit [my] family in Ghana after dating for just 2 weeks! We knew were doing crazy/impulsive things but we were excited that things were so intense and wanted to give this a real shot! We just passed the 1.5 year mark! It's amazing how time flies.”

“We chatted for a month before I was free to go on a date. We ended up spending 8 hours together! It was like we had known each other forever. We dated for 9 months, got engaged, and 10 months later we're married! In the first month of our marriage, the military moved us to a new city where we bought a house and are now expecting our first child!”
