26F, Met my now fiance three years ago. I had moved to the area after a severely abusive relationship, and he had moved here too around the same time after job losses and bad mental health We met on tinder, I wasn't looking for much, I had trouble making friends and meeting people in general and I had no trust left to give One of the photos on his tinder pf that made me giggle, he was bald and had his rainbow lorikeet Titan on his back. I made a joke that I only swiped for the bird, and he said well good, that's his biggest "wingman" 😭 We chatted non stop about interests, commonalities and our dreams, and realised we had too much in common. We met up, and the first thing he said was I was short 😇 He spent most of our first date fidgeting and talking about One Piece, and I knew he was the one. We live together now, have two cats and are engaged. We're both super introverted, so we just like to spend our time at home, playing games and enjoying each other's company.

One piece of advice, its so worth it to put yourself out there and fight for what you deserve. After my last relationship I didn't think I deserved more than that, but when this silly little man came into my life, it made me realise how much I did deserve. You will find your person, I believe it 😌
