Instagram over a year ago. Everyone knows how often we press one profile / picture and end up on six different ones. Basically that.

We have a mutual friend who announced he was leaving his company via IG. Saw her profile thanks to his post, but it was private. Did a follow request and went to tennis. After, I had a private message from her which led to back and forth conversation. She is a beautiful entrepreneur. Knowing this was a limited window where A) she was single and B) I have her interest I suggested we go on a walk that night. We did and within 24 hours knew we were dating and that this is it.

My friend's girlfriend at the time liked me enough that she wanted to set me up with one of her friends. She described her as "gorgeous" which I took to mean the exact opposite. A little while later they invited me to go on a hike with them and some other friends of theirs, and what do you know, the girl she wanted to set me up with was there. Her friend wasn't lying, she was gorgeous, to the point that I was pretty…

What a great story!

My partner and I met on Twitter in 2011, but lived on different sides of the world. We met halfway a few months later and then went on to a conference together in the same trip (we work in the same industry). That's when we decided we wanted to make it work. I was already looking to move to one of the countries in the region, so at that point it made sense to make it the country he lived in. I moved about a year later.
