As Madeline walked to the car from the penthouse to the parking lot.

Her face was heating up from the kiss.

She didn't know what to make of it. She's had tons and tons of kisses before, but this one was just different and didn't feel strained. It wasn't stressful. It didn't feel forced. It was just like, oh my gosh, I really want to kiss you right now.

She's thinking.

She's wondering.

She's never realized that a kiss could be so passionate.

She gets in her car. She just stares at her steering wheel.

She just stares and then she makes a quick swift motion and hits her steering wheel in frustration. She's questioning it. She's not understanding.

What is going on with me?

I thought I liked guys. I thought there were times I had a huge crush. What is this kiss?

Madeline sat in the car, put her head on the head rest and just thought. She thought about all her past relationships and she wondered.

What is the meaning of a kiss that can put that many questions in my mind? A kiss that is so passionate I guess that it just makes me realize maybe my past relationships weren't as passionate or filled with love as I thought.

What is going on with me?

Madeline turns the car on and starts to drive home. Her head is still full of thoughts. But then, after a few minutes of driving, she starts to pick up speed. She realizes something.

She rushes home and turns on her computer. Some questions she's contemplating are, what if a list doesn't make a person? What if it's not just a list that makes the qualifications of a guy make sense? Like he could like to read, he could love to do all the things that she liked. But what if, like, everything just matched up? But everything was so exactly how she wanted it that it was just not there.

What if she had wanted everything to be so perfect that she even picked her guy out? The person that checked off every single part of her list? But what if it wasn't about that in a relationship? What if everything was flipped?

What if a relationship with another person that you want to be your partner wasn't an algorithm? What if it wasn't a math equation? But that would change so many things! Madeline thought.

But that doesn't make sense. Tinder, bumble, and f*******: dating all these dating apps. They're made using an algorithm. So how does it make sense that there are all these apps that are using algorithms, are using equations to help each person find their next person? These apps are based off of how attracted someone is to the other person, based off of some pictures that a user posts.

It doesn't tell the story.

The world is made up of stories. That's how profits are made, that's how our world works, and that's how the Bible works.

Heck, because she told a very compelling, very much-needed researched story. That's how she got funding to make this incredible app that she thinks. "What's the point of it right now?"

Each app is made through an algorithm to get more users to use the app.

So, behind every app is the owner whose idea shaped the app, which created the algorithm.

Why is one person shaping the way of how 1000s of people find love?

Then how do I put the way someone finds love into the user's hand?

Madeline asks the internet a question, "How does someone know that's their person?"

One user writes, "When you both decide you want to go through thick and thin with them."

Another writes, "When you share the most basic core beliefs."

"Do you like their characteristics? Sometimes it's about their attractiveness to you, other times you aren't fighting about stuff from drinking too much, or what chores each person is doing.

There are tons of other comments. Madeline sits and contemplates. There are so many different opinions, is it even possible to capture it all without sacrificing her own opinions in her app?

Madeline thinks about the factors of a dating app. If it's too complicated, it'll scare users away. If it's too available, it becomes Tinder.

She has done so much research. She understands there are so many reasons why a lot of people find it hard to trust people to fall in love with because they have been on so many dates, they start giving up. So how does she bring a way to spark interest for the people that really want to find love but have had a rough go to feel heard and want to per say "waste time" to go out and meet up with someone to see if they are compatible?
