We Found Love In A Hopeless Place

(Tinder).

I wondered if we had enough in common when we started talking. He liked banjos, I liked techno, he was obsessed with basketball and comics and I was obsessed with lighting things on fire. I swiped right because he had a reference to Lord of the Rings deep in his profile (and the puppies!!!).




He swiped right on me because I put my height and weight on there in metric, and my profile was carefully crafted to repel most men - pictures of me being weird and not necessarily attractive.




Yes, he is 6'8".

No, he does not play basketball (anymore).

The height difference is not as exciting as everyone else seems to find it. We forget it's a thing until we try to get a picture together.
