Melissa & Serena

New York, NY

Melissa, 31, city planner

Like so many couples in the 21st century, Serena and Melissa met on OKCupid.com. Both women approached their first date with caution, as Melissa had recently suffered through two boring dates and Serena had just gone through a breakup. Luckily, they hit it off based on the strength of their physical attraction and intellectual bond. They also shared the experience of growing up as second-generation Asian Americans of immigrant parents. They enjoy spending time with Melissa’s toy fox terrier and Serena’s chihuahua mix, cooking for each other, “nerdy talk,” and of course, sex. “Our relationship is successful because we communicate without judgment. We support each other to grow as individuals and believe that by doing so we make ourselves into a stronger couple. We are sweet on each other and don’t hold back our affections for each other, may it be PDA or with our words.”
