A couple met through a gay dating app after Andrew messaged Alfie in direct messages. After chatting for about half an hour on a Sunday night, Andrew invited Alfie to come over, but Alfie declined. They continued talking, then went on their first date at The Delaunay. After two more London dates, Andrew asked Alfie about going to Mexico. Their first night in Mexico involved unusual conditions, including a bat in the room and solar-powered air conditioning shutting off, leaving them without Wi-Fi, mobile signal, or power. They have been together for three years and married for two.
"It was first on that very notorious gay dating app. You slid into the DMs."
"Sunday night and at 9pm after chatting for half an hour, I said, 'Why don't you pop over?'"
"There was a bat in [the room], the air conditioning, which runs on solar, went off. I was in the middle of the jungle with this strange man, no Wi-Fi, no mobile phone signal and no power. I thought I was gonna die!"
"Would you fancy popping to Mexico? Alfie explains that they had two more dates in London before that. Andrew says: "It was a bit strange because we'd never really done anything, we didn't know if we were that compatible, and you came and the rest is history.""
