Couple Who Met at the Start of the Pandemic Had a First Date That was 204 Days LongThe pandemic really has a way of either pulling people apart or bringing them together. That’s what happened to this unlikely couple. Anju Tomar and Mike Faith connected through a dating app. They quickly bonded over their shared experiences being immigrants in America. Soon, Tomar, a 50-something divorcee with grown children, found herself driving 8 hours to see Faith for the first time in his native Nashville.Related: We Don't Talk About Covid, No No No​Tomar admitted how impulsive she’d been, but it all paid off. The couple found even more connections once they were together. Faith, himself a divorcee in his 50s, felt being with Tomar seemed different from the other dates he’d had. They shared a love for music and traveling. However, the restriction of the pandemic forced the two to slow down and just enjoyed the moment. That ended up being a blessing in disguise.​Their first date ended up lasting 204 days. They would travel between Nashville and Milwaukee -- sometimes together, sometimes on different planes hours apart. Remote working made staying side by side for long stretches of time possible. They'd watch sunrises, dance to their favorite music and cook together.Image: Anju Tumar and Mike Faith#Covid19 #Pandemic #FirstDate
