Haley Cavinder's Cowboys tight end husband caught her eye with a DM, couples that pole dance together & more

Welcome to a Thursday in the middle of October. Or I should say, welcome to the latest edition of . Today is all about pushing back on the notion that romance has been defeated and it no longer exists.

For those buying in on that, and I'm sure for some it's the case, I present to you several examples that, despite a possible downward trend overall, there are those making it work. If nothing else, there's hope.

We have a full slate from the smooth athlete to influencer DM that landed to couple that pole dance together and even a couple of actors who covered their workplace in romance. Light a candle, relax and lets get into it.

Long before the lucky pregame butt squeezes or the messages written on the back of Haley Cavinder's pants or for Jake Ferguson's bad game, there was the classic shooter taking his shot.

The Dallas Cowboys tight end slid into the former college athlete and influencer's DMs with a line that ended up working and anyone can use.

Haley said on an episode of People's WAG World, "He just DMed me and asked how my golf game was."

And there's this idea floating out there that you can't meet people. Firing off a wild DM usually doesnt work. A "How's your golf game" is smooth. The two hit it off, and now they're married, with a story to tell their grandkids one day.

Grandpa was in the NFL and grandma used to dance on TikTok. They met after he sent her a message on social media. A love story as old as time.

"I dont like to get high or too low when it comes to that stuff. I wasnt looking for anything, and I dont know if Ferg was at that time either," she continued.

"But then we spent 10 days together straight, and hes just a good, down-to-earth human being."

If you're having trouble finding someone, maybe you're just looking in the wrong places and sending DMs that aren't landing. There is hope. Fire off one about golf to a TikToker and see what ends up playing out.

JOE BURROW'S GIRLFRIEND SHARES CHEATING HOT TAKE, WOMAN'S SISTER HOOKED UP WITH HER DATE & REGAINING THE SPARK

Before we move on, let's find out the results of the poll from last week. The "Do you go through with the wedding if your husband-to-be calls you your sister's name at the altar?" one.

In a stunner, given that the woman who this happened to did go through with the wedding, an overwhelming 72.5% said no, you leave that jerk at the altar. An unforgiving bunch of hopeless romantics, I suppose.

I bet, had that couple been pole dancing together, the husband-to-be wouldnt have said the name of the bride's sister at the altar. Because if you didnt already know, couples who pole dance together are weirdos.

Let me finish. Weirdos who "strengthen their bonds and keep the spark alive." Take it from Los Angeles newlyweds Misha and Sam who, if they need pole dancing or anything as newlyweds to keep the spark aliv
