Lyndsie & Tyler: "The first date was God's handiwork"

Lyndsie and Tyler’s love story started with a simple online smile. They knew it was going to become something more when their first lunch together ended up lasting seven hours. After nearly a year together, they are now happily engaged and planning their life together. Christian Mingle is pleased to have played a role in their story and wishes them every joy for their future together.

Christian Mingle Success Couple Lyndsie and Tyler

Even getting to the first date was God’s handiwork. I had sent her a smile and she smiled back and we started sending messages back and forth. Little did I know that Lyndsie had said she’d never respond to anyone who started by sending a smile. We sent messages back and forth for about a week and a half before we decided to meet in person.

We met at a coffee shop called The Bean out by her. I drove 120 miles to meet this woman that would change my world. We started talking about Christ, the church, ministry, missions trips, etc. That went so well that I invited her to come to lunch with me.

We went to lunch and spent nearly 7 hours together on our first date. By the end of it I asked for her number and she gave it to me. The rest is history and God doing what only He can do!

Describe the moment you knew it was true love!

I would say that I fell pretty hard on the second date but I don’t think I knew our relationship would grow into what it has. Our second date was tons of fun though as we went to Disneyland. There were a lot of moments where I thought to myself “I could see myself marrying this woman” because of things she’d say or do.

What advice would you give other Christian Mingle members?

The biggest piece of advice I’d give is to trust God, pray for your partner and love yourself before getting into a relationship. It wasn’t until I truly accepted my singleness and had learned to appreciate it that God gave me Lyndsie! He’s good and faithful. Just keep trusting Him and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
