Profiles of Christina and Remy

Their Story

Christina and Remy seem to have a genuine excitement for each other that translates through text and photos. From cooking classes to roadtrips, their relationship looks like an enviable adventure. They are 2 adventurous foodies who met via Coffee Meets Bagel.

Roadtrip Christina and Remy
Little did Remy know, one of their dates would include biking across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Their two Coffee Meets Bagel profiles are oddly similar in spirited tone and eclectic preference. It’s a wonder that they hadn’t found each other sooner. “The first thing I noticed on Christina’s profile,” Remy states, “was how adventurous her pictures were. Cliff diving in one and petting a tiger in another,…I immediately started wonder[ing] what kind of dates we’d be going on.”
Christina, likewise, says of Remy, “What sealed the deal was his profile pic[ture], it was very different from what I was seeing everyday from the others.”
The first Sunday after they connected via Coffee Meets Bagel, they met for lunch at Fish Bar in Chicago. Remy describes the conversation as effortless and fun. “When he offered to grab ice cream after, I was hooked (I love ice cream).” Christina adds.
They don’t quite know when they became official, Christina confesses, though we think that they look so great together that it doesn’t matter anyway. Their advice to Coffee Meets Bagel Members? “Be patient,” Christina advises, “it takes a lot of first dates and almost first dates to realize what you’re looking for and what you’re not!” And it seems that patience paid off.

Sherri and Jon's profiles
Who says dating apps can’t inspire romance? We think that Sherri and Jon are the perfect anecdote to prove otherwise.
It’s not a surprise that Sherri and Jon ended up together via Coffee Meets Bagel. They’re an attractive, and successful couple who have a buoyant grins in the many photos of their travels. “I liked Jon’s profile because he looked handsome and had a graduate degree.” Sherri says.
“I liked Sherri because she was cute, [and] had a good job,” Jon similarly chimes in. Their mutual attractiveness and smarts lead to their first date on December 14th, 2013 at the Pump Room in Chicago. The bonus? She picked up that Jon was a great cook and an even better friend.
“Jon…brought smoked pork belly and mulled wine (for [his friend’s holiday] party).” Sherri explains. She later discovered his prowess in the kitchen and in cocktail creations. To the outsider, it sounds as if they both naturally fell into each other. On January 5th, 2013 during a blizzard, they called it official. “Despite the weather, we had an amazing day in the city,” Sherri says.
To Coffee Meets Bagel users, they have uncannily similar advice. “Use Coffee Meets Bagel!” Jon’s advice to users goes, “think about the specific characteristics of a significant other that are most important to you.” As for Sherri?
“Take the time to put key things about yourself in your profile. Be honest with yourself about what matters to you,” she says. And most importantly, “stay positive.” In the midst of winter, perhaps it was also her positivity that helped Jon and Sherri’s relationship to blossom.
