They met online - which is now about 80% of the couples I meet. This isn't unusual. Instead, what is unusual is after they talked (on Bumble) for a while, decided to meet, and made all the plans, Brooke stood him up. Yeah. She never even came to their first date.
Read MoreAndrew and Madi met at work. Initially, they weren’t interested. One of them was in a relationship, and it was about being friends. This was true for a while, even after they both became single. That said, Madi had a plan, and it all came down to Andrew’s birthday. That is, she thought Andrew was a pretty great guy, so in order to get to know him better, she decided she’d get him a gift card to a coffee place for his birthday - in the hopes he’d invite her to go with him.
Read MoreI’ve had the chance to know Zoe for multiple years. It is such a crazy thing to me to watch people grow, mature, and start to learn more and more of what it means to be themselves. I see this in Zoe. She’s strong, thoughtful, and beautiful. Someone who is always great to have around, and I have seen grow and mature in such awesome ways over the years.

Read MoreThey met in forth grade. Payton told me that when she first met Aaron she didn't like him - boys were weird. Aaron, on the other hand, said his first thought was "woah, she's beautiful" or something along those lines. Either way, Aaron's interest in Payton started in the fourth grade, and depending on who you talk to, it may or may not have ever stopped.
Read MoreThey met on Tinder - as so many couples do these days - and set up a date. Matt talks a lot about what it means for two introverts to go on a date - or even find each other - and this whole situation worked out best for them. Alexis said at one point that she "couldn't imagine" trying to find someone another way.
