A Tale of Two Epic Humans

Meetal and Chris met on the dating app 'Hinge'.

One Sunday evening, Meetal messaged Chris to say hello, but given his dismay with dating apps at the time, Chris chose not to reply that day; a fact she likes to remind him of on a regular basis.

Hinge allows its users to share interesting facts about themselves and Meetal commented on Chris' interesting fact:

When Charles Darwin first met the Galapagos Tortoise, he tried to ride it.

Meetal shared her knowledge of the scientific name for the Western Lowlands Gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla) and the two proceeded to bond over their mutual love of fried chicken and risque comedy.

Their first date took them to various cave-themed hotspots in central Nottingham on a drizzly Wednesday night. After Chris managed to secure a chubby labrador called Ollie for their second date, Meetal knew she had met the true love of her life; a man willing to steal other peoples' dogs to impress her. The rest, as they say, is history.
