Peter Nathan Hess and Sara Danielle David connected over shared interests, particularly in writing, after admiring each other on social media. Their relationship took shape through conversations on Twitter and Instagram, leading to a unique first date at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, where they explored the arboretum and bonded over various topics. Despite initial assumptions about the nature of their meeting, the outing showcased their personalities and interests, paving the way for further connection and conversation over dinner.
Mr. Hess, 37, then a staff reporter at Spectrum, an autism research publication, had liked some tweets by Ms. David, 36, the astrology editor at Vice, about her work with the Writers Guild of America East union.
At first, I thought he wanted to meet to talk about union stuff, Ms. David said, but he made it clear that he was interested in me.
I didn't realize that it was a thing to hang out at the cemetery, Ms. David said. It's an arboretum and I learned a lot about the trees, plants and bugs from Peter.
