"Oskar: We matched on Tinder in Bali the day before he left, so we didn't physically meet. He was living in Melbourne at the time, and I actually had plans to move there. Santi: A month later, I asked him on a date. We watched Bridesmaids at an outdoor cinema. Oskar: I was obsessed. But I didn't have a permanent place to live... Santi: ...which is when my friend and I found a three-bedroom and needed another roommate. Oskar: We moved in as friends. Santi: At least, that was the plan. But that first night, I was really cold and I found my way into his room."
"Julius: We met at a bar. She walked up to me. Naomi: It's one of my proudest moments. I saw him and was like, You! Julius: We acknowledged each other. There was a look. Naomi: I don't really believe in types, but he's mine. His style and confidence. Those dimples, the blue eyes. Everything. Julius: She made the first move. And I made sure it was her last time having to do that."
"Ari: We go to a lot of concerts. Benoît: I'm connected to the music scene and she's connected on the creative side. It's a lot of fun. Ari: He organized a festival we were at last night. I was super proud of him, so to celebrate, I had three beers. I didn't have dinner though.... Benoît: I thought she was dancing...until someone said, "Your girlfriend is sleeping behind the merch stand.""
