Jordie and Lindsey's story quite literally begins with “you had me at hello”

 

In this post 2020 world we live in, dating apps became more normalized and Jordie and Lindsey both happened to join Bumble...
 

Lindsey: hello

Jordie: hello.

Lindsey: What it do?

Jordie: One upping you with a period. You?

 

And that was it. For the next seven weeks or so they went back and forth like that asking each other questions that varied from “what is your favorite color?” to “what is your biggest area for emotional growth?”. And a strong bond grew between two strangers. Neither one was quite sure where this was headed or whether they’d have the chance to meet but they did know that the person on the other end of the phone was someone they deeply cared about. 

 

But eventually Jordie’s schedule opened up (baseball coach life!) and Lindsey’s traveling was coming to a halt so it was time to see how this bond would translate to in person. Most people would say “don’t talk too much before you meet up because otherwise you’ll have nothing to talk about.” But for Jordie and Lindsey, quite the opposite was true. Because they had started their journey with a deep bond and friendship, by the time they met in person, there was a safeness and trust that they both immediately recognized. And so it went. They spent the next few dates getting to know each others beingness and laugh and what brings them joy. And all along, they were both whispering to themselves “I think this is it."

 

But after only a few dates, Jordie was presented with a career opportunity of coaching a college team in up state NY for the summer months. So the two were presented with their first cross roads…would we stay together and be long distance after only a few dates or would we call it and say “nice run"? It wasn’t much of a question because they both already knew the answer.

 

Little did they know this would be the first of many cross roads they would face as both Jordie and Lindsey’s career continued to evolve... But through it all, they have grown stronger and more mature in their love. They understand self sacrifice and what it means to look the other in the eye and say “you come first and I am going to do whatever it takes to support you.”

 

Jordie and Lindsey will be one of the greatest love stories of all time. Not because of their booming passion or adventurous spirits or the fact that they are both even keeled. Rather because “whatever souls are made of, theirs are the same."
