Love: Adam4Adam’s Tattooed Husbands

Dating can be very frustrating, and dating apps and sites have gotten a bad reputation. When most people log on, they usually see think of the app as a way to find a quick hook-up and pretty much nothing else.

But every once in a while you find a story that proves love really can be found anywhere, if you’re open to it. This was the case with two Adam4Adam users, 31-year-old Adam and 36-year-old Jeremy. Now husbands, their love story actually began on Adam4Adam.

Like a lot of gay men nowadays, Adam had been using Adam4Adam and another gay dating app years before meeting his husband. He’d had success finding hook ups on the site before, but a relationship didn’t seem possible until four years ago.

That was because four years ago, he saw Jeremy’s profile on Adam4Adam.

“I know my first impression was Jeremy’s profile picture of him wearing scrubs — he’s a veterinary tech — and I thought, ‘He’s cute and he works with animals, so I’ll chat and see what happens.’ Jeremy likes nerdy looking tall guys so, he was obviously drawn to me,” he shared via email.

At the time, Adam had just gotten out of a relationship and wasn’t looking for anything serious. But after chatting on Adam4Adam for a few weeks, Jeremy, along with a good friend, drove out to the house where Adam was staying so that they could finally meet face-to-face.

Just like anyone who’s ever been catfished, both Adam and Jeremy had apprehensions about this first face-to-face meeting. Fortunately, they had nothing to worry about.

“We were both instantly relieved when we both actually looked like our pictures online, if not better! So I invited him in and we spent the night talking and drinking whiskey. Perfect!” Adam recalled.

From there, everything just seemed to fall into place. A week after their meeting, they decided to become a couple. Adam even remembers telling a friend that he thought Jeremy might be “the one”. But it was only later, when they had moved in together into a small one bedroom apartment, that they realized they were both compatible living together.

It’s been close to three years now since they became husband and husband, and already they’ve broken a promise — but not the kind you think.

“We decided we wanted to get the tattoos on our 5th anniversary… but, we impulsively got the tattoos close to our 3rd anniversary, we didn’t want to wait,” Adam shared.

Adam believes that all of this wouldn’t have happened without Adam4Adam.

“I doubt we would have met in our regular lives, so Adam4Adam really made that possible. I like that we were able to chat and get to know each other a bit through messaging. It’s nice to meet guys on a site and be able to chat before giving out your number,” he explained. “I also think a4a is a good website to meet guys interested in actually dating, as well as guys who are looking for a good hookup.”

For those looking for Mr. Right online, Adam has this to say: “Be patient. Online dating is tough, but I always thought of it this way… if I’m on Adam4Adam looking for a real relationship, then there must also be guys like me on Adam4Adam looking for the same thing.”

Thank you so much Adam for letting us talk to you about this and tell you and your husband’s story!
