"We were brought together by chanceand love did the rest."

**She:**

I hesitated for a long time whether I should even install the dating app https://www.sofiadate.com/dating-tips/can-man-resist-woman-he-loves . I had too many stereotypes in my head: "everyone there is looking for something frivolous," "nothing real will happen." But inside, I longed for warmth. I just wanted to talk to someone who would understand. And one evening, while scrolling through profiles, I saw him.

I don't know why, but his smile caught my eyea little pensive, but genuine. He wasn't posing, not trying to impress. I felt like he was someone I could trust. I liked it and went to bed.

The next morning, a message flashed in my notifications: "I think we both like coffee and quiet evenings." I smiled. That's how it all began.

**Him:**

I'd long since stopped treating dating as anything special. Just a way to get to know someone. But that evening, I came across her profilea bright photo, her eyes with an inner light. And my heart sank. I wrote, not really expecting a reply. But she replied.

At first, the conversation was cautious: favorite books, music, little things. But after a couple of days, I realized I was waiting for her every message. She was differentshe didn't try to be someone else, she was just herself. Real.

**Her:**

We could text for hours. Sometimes about serious things, sometimes just sharing funny moments from the day. He knew how to listen. And most importantly, he knew how to feel. Even through the screen, I felt that he cared.

Our first meeting was incredibly nerve-wracking. We agreed to meet in the park, by the fountain. When I saw him walking toward me, smiling just like in the photo, I felt a sense of calm inside. We hugged, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a while.

**Him:**

That day, I realized it was real. Not a screen, not a chatthe person I'd been waiting for. She was exactly like she was in our messages: sincere, warm, a little shy. We walked around the city, talking about everything. At some point, I caught myself thinking that I didn't want this evening to end.

When we said goodbye, I couldn't help but say, "I think I've found what I've been looking for." She blushed, but smiled.

**Her:**

From that day on, everything just sort of unfolded. Walks together, movies, coffee in the morning, casual kisses. Everything felt so natural. Sometimes I thought, "If I hadn't installed that app back then, we wouldn't exist." And that thought felt both strange and wonderful at the same time.

**Him:**

A year has passed. We no longer think of dating as just an app. For us, it's a starting point. It's where the story began, and *we* came into being.

Sometimes in the evening, looking at her, I think, "How strange life works." One chance encounter online, one quick "hello"and there's the person you want to be with forever.

**She:**

If anyone asks if it's possible to find true feelings through dating, I'll say yes, you can. You just have to be yourself and believe that miracles happen. Because sometimes love comes when you simply decide to open your heart.

**He:**

We are living proof that even in the digital world, you can find something truly warm. And it all starts with one coincidence.
