Alex and Rachel match on HINGE! (This picture was a screenshot of Alex's Hinge profile!!) Of course, Alex completely deleted his app right after going out with Rachel, so there is no record of their first conversation - but he started off the conversation talking about a sandwich. To make it even better, they were each other's first (& only) hinge dates ever!

Alex and Rachel go on their first sushi date in Philly! Alex even taught Rachel how to use chopsticks (LOL)!

Alex redeems himself and asks Rachel out again. He takes her to a Phillies game for their second date! (Rachel had so much fun watching sports haaa).

Rachel invited Alex to Margate even though they only went on a few dates prior! Her family was there, but Alex came down the shore with no hesitation.

Alex took Rachel on a date to get her first cheesesteak & she HATED IT. Look at that fake smile LOL...

...after the cheesesteak the only answer obviously was to get Rachel's favorite ice cream for dinner instead! This was their last time together in Philly before Alex left to start medical school in Miami & Rachel headed back to college at the University of Michigan.
