Dave and Theresa Love Story

Dave, a retired, easygoing nature-lover with a soft spot for animals and Sunday car shows, is the kind of man who does things with devotion. He loves peace, water, music, and living life at his own pace. After caring lovingly for his late wife for years, the idea of dating again wasn’t an easy one. However, he approached it with sincerity and an open heart. 

Theresa, a retired nurse with a big heart and a spunky sparkle, was looking for a gentleman who shared her traditional values and her love of animals. Family means everything to her. She’s affectionate, warm, and the type of woman who expresses caring through thoughtful gestures (often in the form of delicious home-baked treats).

Their matchmaker saw their potential and made the introduction. Dave and Theresa had their first date at a local restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. For two people who admitted to some nerves going in, the conversation flowed effortlessly. They bonded over shared experiences, both having been loyal spouses to partners they deeply loved, and they found comfort in one another’s company.

Dave later shared, “We have a lot of the same likes and interests. She’s easy to talk to. We had a great first date. She even brought me brownies with walnuts and caramel. She is wonderful.”

Theresa left the date with a smile she couldn’t quite shake. “I have a really good feeling about this man,” she said. “He’s a great guy. We already have a second date planned.”

There are matches that spark excitement, and then there are matches that feel like peace. For Dave and Theresa, it was both. They slipped into each other’s lives with the kind of ease that only happens when two people are truly aligned: in values, in energy, and in what they each hope their next chapter will look like.

With shared affection for animals, a love of nature, similar life journeys, and a mutual desire for loyalty, kindness, and companionship, they walked away from that first lunch knowing they wanted to see each other again. And again.

What started as a simple Sunday lunch became the beginning of two hearts rediscovering the joy and comfort of genuine connection. Dave and Theresa’s story is a beautiful reminder that love isn’t reserved for a certain age or stage of life. Sometimes, it arrives quietly, holding a plate of homemade brownies. It’s a warm conversation and the incredible feeling of finally being seen.
