High school sweethearts. Wife more or less made the first move / I asked her out officially / she asked me to prom / I proposed. We have always done a back & forth where it’s never felt like one person was always doing the initiating & the other was always doing the responding — we’ve gone back and forth. It’s nice. And yes, sure, I know the whole “isn’t it weird to meet someone when you’re a teenager and end up marrying them and not experience dating in your 20’s?” — NO IT IS AWESOME AND AMAZING AND I LOVE IT AND HER.

I love this so much while simultaneously seething thinking about 13 year old me telling a 13 year old Adam that we’re “too young to make things work PLUS I’ll be going to an all girls high-school with no time for boys.” talk about short-sighted!

taterhole I’ve always seen it as like, when you meet your person and you’re like “I wish I could have spent more time with them“ I’m very aware at how lucky I am that I’ve gotten so much time with her already. I just turned 30 and we’ve been dating since we were 14 — that’s like 55% of my life where she’s been present. Very lucky.

marianoleonczik it’s like Paul Newman’s quote which is really about extramarital cheating but I feel like it also applies here lol "Why go out for a hamburger when you have steak at home?" There is something really special and rare about true commitment…

taterhole marianoleonczik Also happy for you two's experience, but my god, if I met my wife when we were in high school, I would never have had a chance. She insists we would have been best buds back then too, but she was leagues ahead of me in so many ways, and I played way too many video games

Had an amazing time with my wife at a local restaurant. I find it so weird that dates are so like. I guess discouraged with older couples. If you have time and you love each other, dates are awesome. Just because she's not your girlfriend anymore doesn't mean you can't take her out to eat, she's your wife now.

Having had the same wedding date for 17 years, it’s only fitting to use a cute pic of us. Also she refuses to get onto this app (“is that your little recs app?”) but I mention her often so I’m trying to build out a sense of mysticism around her, like she’s this baddie of a person that sort of exists. Also this might be old school but I think including her in my pfp sets a clear expectation that I’m married, which lets other people know to not act up (because my wife is small but she will kill you) but it also holds me accountable to be aware of boundary lines as to never come off as the “creepy guy who is making flirty comments with his wife in his pfp,” which my single friends tell me happens ALL THE TIME TO THEM.

I’ve been with my lady for 10 years, married 3 and definitely think I’m better because of it. at first I wasn’t sure about marriage because bullshit institution, blah blah, but I swear something changed in my brain after we got married.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love. I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed. It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
