Story

Travis and I first met on the dating app Plenty of Fish. It was my first time venturing out into the online dating world. After creating my profile, within a day or two I received a message from a shirtless man on a boat named Travis. I didn't want to judge by the picture, so I read his message with an open mind. I was intrigued. We started off getting to know each other by talking on the phone. That's when we learned we lived directly across the street from each other in separate neighborhoods, we both have family in Houston, we both work in similar fields, we both own dogs and we both love wine! We knew we had to meet. Travis invited me to a wine bar in Scottsdale where we enjoyed good wine and good conversation. From then on, we knew we were meant to be!
