Despite the bleak outlook of modern dating, there are still many couples out there who have found love in the most unexpected ways. One such couple, Ollie, 64, from Yorkshire, met Elizabeth, 55, an American living in Thailand on a Bumble date that was anything but ordinary.
The two had been messaging for days before Ollie suggested they meet up in person, with Elizabeth having just undergone a heart attack. The conversation continued via phone as she lay in the hospital. Their first meeting took place at the hospital where Elizabeth was being treated and is described by Elizabeth as "the perfect gentleman."
Ollie's story is one of serendipity, but there are many other stories like it among recent love matches - a couple who met through LinkedIn after 23 years of not having contact with each other. Erin and Brandon had both experienced heartbreak in the past, but reconnecting on the professional networking site brought them back together.
The notion that "you can't find someone if you're looking" seems to be true for many recent love stories. Luke, a healthcare researcher from British Columbia, met his partner Adina on a group tour through Mongolia and they began an intense romance amidst whispers of keeping their relationship under wraps.
Love has the power to transform lives in ways that might seem impossible. Whether it's falling for someone you least expect or revisiting old flames, love can never be ruled out entirely - even when all signs point towards heartbreak.
