    I never used an app. I bought my first house and met 2 of the 3 people who lived in the triplex one house down across the street. Everyone said you have to meet Richard. He had heard from everyone that this nice lady and her dogs had bought the house across the street. Months later, I was planing the fronts of my porch steps because I couldn’t afford to replace them yet. He came up the street wearing a really nice leather jacket and when I saw him, he took my breath away. He was impressed that I knew how to use a planer and was really impressed that I owned it. He asked me out but said “you are going to have to do something about your dogs”. I told him I had yet to meet a man I would put my dogs in another room for”. I told him to take a hike. Over the next few weeks, he persisted. But he always had the dog clause. Do one day I said “why don’t you meet them? If they like you and you like them, we can talk. Otherwise, leave me alone.” He backed away as he said ok. I let my dogs out. I had two cavalier King Charles spaniel females. My girls ran over to him and my story is that he melted onto the sidewalk, I picked him up with a dustpan and never let him go. I bought the house in August. Met him at the end of September, he proposed on Valentine’s Day and we were married the next Valentine’s Day. We were together for 19 years and parted only when cancer took him. He was 56. He swore we knew each other in a previous life. Maybe we did. But I was 51 when he died and I’ve never wanted another partner of any kind.

    I love hearing couples' "How we met stories," and yours is no exception!! ❤ Loved Maple wandering in to check on things -- he looked like he was thinking, "Oh, they're just talking again about how they met: 'Blah, blah, blah.' I'm going to go back to napping. I'll come back when they're serious about supper." 😂

    Hello, Matthew and Paul! I love all of your life stories :-) ... today as I heard that Paul thought that Matthew's native language was Czechoslovakian I burst into laughing :-))) I am Czech. Firstly we are not Czechoslovakia since 1992, secondly, there has never been a Czechoslovakian language - it is only Czech or Slovakian. But I enjoyed this video too☺🥰

    I met my partner online, but it wasn’t a dating app, there was a Facebook group for anonymous messages from people in our university, I had recently broken up and realized I didn’t have any friends and sent a message there saying I was looking for people to talk to and described myself as “tiny woman, like to watch series, draw, and love unicorns and mermaids” haha
    One of the comments was from a friend of my, now, partner and he mentioned him as a joke, as I found out later, anyway, I me and my partner started talking and were together for 6 years now lol

    I LOVE this, so glad you found each other and even more glad that you decided to allow us into a small part of your life. There must be so many stories that you can both tell, Matthew about being with a disabled person and Paul about his struggles with living with his disability. As much as the world has progressed wiyh how disabled people are treated there is still along way to go till we arrive at a place where people with disabilities (no matter what type) can live a life which is simular to a non disabled person but with people like you two sharing these vids it does help with making more people aware of the difficulties that people can face. Thank you both again 💖💖💖

    Your story is so sweet and adorable.
    My husband and I met as penpals. I had gone to a leadership conference in high school and was told about a website to connect with other students around the world. My husband lived in California and I lived in New Jersey. I honestly don't remember when I told him about my visual Impairment. We dated long distance for awhile then I moved to California for college then switched schools to Oregon and we moved in together. We've been together for 14 years and have been married for 6 years.

    Dating apps are scary when you have a disability, especially a visible one like my kyphoscolioses. I know that me not being comfortable in my own skin, is a big part of the problem with finding someone else to love you, but in my mind its just being realistic... I mean with everything and everyone needing to be absolutely perfect on social media, its safe to say we DO CARE about looks, a whole lot actually.

    Glad you found each other. I never dated for so many years now, and I just recently tried a dating app. Met someone. We talked for only less than a week. I was kinda starting to like him, but I think we had a misunderstanding and I just realized that this thing might not be for me. Just kinda sad for myself since this is the first time I tried to open up myself to anyone after a long long time and this was what happened. Watching this, I feel both happy and sad. Anyway, you make me smile everytime I watch your videos.

    I was diagnosed with RP about 4 or 5 years ago. Let me preface by saying that my husband does not use electronics, so the fact that he hasn't researched my disease is not necessarily that odd. But since he knows nothing about this disease (other than I could eventually go blind), there are things he doesn't understand, like the problems I have with low light. I've tried to describe to him the "tunnel feeling", but he thinks what I experience what most people experience when driving in the dark with headlights on!
    Maybe I am explaining it to him wrong. I guess I should get some RP printed info for him, so he has a better understanding of what is happening with my eye sight!

    I met my last husband online. Ironically, it was not a traditional dating app....it was a hook-up app. I knew he was a match when I was able to pronounce his last name correctly on the first try. For the curious, it's pie-at-cow-ski. Of course, ultimately, we didnt work out, but I was with him for 8 years.

    Czechoslovakian is not a language. Former Czechoslovakia (today the Czech Republic and Slovakia) was bilingual state (just like Canada) with two official languages being Czech and Slovak. How do I know? I'm native Czech.
    And also former Czechoslovakia - again today the Czech Republic and Slovakia are not an Eastern Europe. It's Central Europe along with Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, Hungary and Poland.

      I keep forgetting Liechtenstein when thinking about Central Europe, which is quite funny, because I've actually visited there and there were historical connections, we saw Czech people buried in a cemetery there...
      Glad you brought it up in such good detail - I am also Czech and I'm not sure I could have given such a good explanation. But I found Paul's assumption really funny because... yeah, I'm exactly that sort of English-as-second-language person. 😅
