At the start of January 2022, I was casually scrolling through BLK when I stumbled upon Jonathan. He was incredibly handsome—impossible to overlook. As I browsed his profile, his bio captivated me even further. I knew I wanted to catch his attention just as much as he had caught mine. So, I took a leap and sent him a Super Like, hoping to stand out.
The next day, the notification came through: we matched! I couldn’t open my phone fast enough. To my delight, Johnathan messaged me almost immediately. His opener? He claimed he thought he’d seen me before. Looking back, I think it was just a clever icebreaker—but it worked. From that moment, I was hooked. I knew he was going to be my man; he just didn’t know it yet.
As we continued talking, we both admitted something interesting: we were each about to delete the app, tired of hitting dead ends. That’s when it hit me—this wasn’t a coincidence; this was divine timing. For the next few days, we messaged back and forth on BLK, getting to know each other better. It wasn’t long before we exchanged numbers and made plans to meet in person.
Our first date was a trip to the movies to see Spider-Man. Neither of us were big fans, which made the experience even funnier. We spent most of the film confused, whispering questions to each other that neither could answer. By the end of the date, as we said goodbye, I hugged him—and in that moment, everything changed. In his arms, I felt safe and protected, a sense of peace that could only have come from God.
From there, our story unfolded naturally. We went on more dates, spent hours talking, and grew more comfortable with each other. After a little over five months of building our connection, on May 21, 2022, Jonathan officially asked me to be his girlfriend. Since then, it’s been a beautiful journey of love, growth, and shared experiences.
We’ve built a strong bond by intentionally dating each other, spending time with our families, traveling, and intertwining our lives day by day. It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve discovered that with each other, life feels a little lighter.
Long before meeting him, I prayed for someone like Jonathan—a gentle yet confident, loving, respectful, protective man (with a beard, of course!). I had no idea that my prayers would be answered through BLK, but here we are. Jonathan is everything I asked for and more, and our love story is a reminder that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it.
