If you need more inspo, '8 Flirty Texts to Send Instead of "wyd?"' is now up on dilmil.co/blog! Check it out. 😏💯

This one goes out to all the people who keep checking to see if that one person has viewed their story - iykyk 😬🙈

In summer 2019, Jeswin attended 10 weddings, and realized that about half the married couples had met on Dil Mil. Being a statistician (yep, he actually paid attention in math class), he couldn’t argue with these cold hard facts and decided that he needed to broaden his search beyond his circles to find the person he was most compatible with. He joined Dil Mil and within a few weeks, he matched with Stephanie. It wasn’t quite so easy for Stephanie – she had been on the app for about two years on-and-off, but had faith in the process because of all the success stories she’d heard about. 💯

They started talking around Labor Day, and by December Jeswin made his first visit out to Atlanta to visit her. In that first visit, they both knew that this was it – they had found their true love. They visited a coffee shop to feed Jeswin’s coffee addiction, and then walked along the Beltline in Atlanta. At the end of his visit, Jeswin sat Stephanie down and took out a journal where he had written all the qualities he liked about Stephanie and how he saw a future with her. 🥺

He read the most beautiful, thoughtful note to Stephanie, bringing her to tears. Just the fact that he spent the time writing down what he felt meant the world to Stephanie, and made her see his sweet and thoughtful side. A year down the line, Jeswin memorized parts of this same speech for the proposal! For months, Stephanie thought she was planning the perfect surprise for Jeswin’s birthday in Chicago, along with Jeswin’s friends. Little did she know that Jeswin was the one who had told his friends to reach out to Stephanie and let her think she was planning a birthday, while in reality, she was planning her own proposal. 😅💍

Needless to say, he pulled it off flawlessly. You can read more about this epic surprise proposal & the rest of their amazing story now on the blog! dilmil.co/stories #OnceUponaDilMil 💕

It’s always the ones you don’t expect that shock you. 🥵🥵

Today, the Governor of Texas signed a law that bans abortion for women after six weeks into their pregnancy, which is before some women even know that they are pregnant. 🤯

According to NPR's reporting, this law allows any private citizen to sue abortion providers and anyone else who helps a woman obtain an abortion — including those who give a woman a ride to a clinic or provide financial assistance to obtain an abortion.

Dil Mil stands with the women of Texas and everywhere else in protesting this outrageous law. ✊🏽

Texas has effectively banned a woman’s right to choose and that is unacceptable. 🙅🏽‍♀️

#TexasAbortionBan

Falling in love with yourself before falling in love with someone else >>>⠀
⠀
Go out and try that restaurant, plan that trip, go see that movie, make a nice dinner, etc. for YOU. 💕⠀
⠀
We're often out here dating and trying to find someone that "completes" us or our "other half" to do life with. While your future significant other should definitely add meaning to your life, they shouldn't be filling a void. Instead of "completing" you, use your dating journey to find yourself and someone that compliments you and your lifestyle. 💯⠀
⠀
Once you're truly happy being around just you, everything will fall into place. Trust the process. 💜
