In 2021, John, a software engineer in San Francisco, was ready to start a new chapter in his love life after going through a few failed relationships. He decided to give online dating a try and created a profile on a popular dating app. While browsing through potential matches, he came across Maria’s profile and was immediately drawn to her beauty and infectious smile.
Maria, a teacher and single mother of two, wasn’t sure if she was ready to date again after a difficult divorce. But something about John’s profile caught her attention, and she decided to take a chance and swipe right. They hit it off right away, bonding over their shared love of hiking and interest in learning new things.
Their first date was a hike in the mountains, and even though it was challenging, they both enjoyed each other’s company and knew that there was something special between them. Over the next few weeks, they went on more adventures together and got to know each other better. John was impressed with Maria’s strength and resilience as a single mother, and Maria appreciated John’s kindness and intelligence.
After a few months of dating, John knew that Maria was the one for him, and he proposed to her during a romantic picnic in the park. Maria was overjoyed and said “yes” without hesitation. They got married in a small ceremony with their closest friends and family just a year after they met, and have been happily married ever since.
Today, John and Maria are still exploring the outdoors together, and have even taken their kids on camping trips. They support each other in all aspects of life and are grateful to have found each other.
