'I met boyfriend a month ago and we're trying for a baby - but we live 230 miles apart'

A pair of lovebirds who met just one month ago have revealed they're already trying for a baby.

Alisa Thomas, 26, and Terrance Green, 23, matched on Hinge on 17 April and hit it off immediately - despite living 230 miles apart.

Two weeks after matching, Alisa hopped on a plane from her home city of Toronto, Canada, to meet Terrance where he lives in Detroit, Michigan, for a weekend.

Despite concern from Alisa's family and friends that she was jetting off to meet a man she didn't know, she insisted there was never any doubt in her mind.

"I was obviously safe. We spoke like 24/7 for the 12 days before we met, we FaceTimed so we knew we were real, the energy matched so why not?" she said.

"Instead of waiting months or even years, why not connect right away? I'm going into this with an open heart and trusting Terrance.

"When we met and spent those days together, there was a good vibe between us that just solidified the feelings more."

During their first weekend together the pair made sure to make the most of their time together.

Terrance even got Alisa's name tattooed on his neck for $80 (£64.52) as a way to prove to her that he was committed and turning his back on 'the rapper lifestyle'.

Despite family and friends warning that their whirlwind relationship might be moving too fast, the couple insist the timeline is right for them.

The pair, who each have a child from a previous relationship, reveal they're trying for a baby and plan to get hitched before their child arrives.

But in a social media announcement social media entrepreneur Terrance claimed Alisa may ALREADY be pregnant.

Alisa said: "There were a lot of moments where it was casual and we hung out in the house and did our own thing.

"But we also went around Detroit, I got to meet some of his family, he took me downtown to the water where you could look over and see Canada.

"It felt really nice seeing all the effort Terrance had gone to for me when I came to visit, because nobody had really done that for me before."

Terrance even spent £60 on a tattoo of Alisa's name on his neck, proving his dedication to her.

Alisa said: "I think the tattoo was meant to represent that his feelings had solidified.

"Terrance says he wants to do something and then he does it. That's very attractive to me. It makes him trustworthy, that's a big selling point."

The lovesick boyfriend said: "I messaged her first. I sent her the little heart eyes and she responded a day later.

"I've had so many different situations with different girls growing up, from experiencing the rapper lifestyle.

"I'd told myself that I didn't want a relationship, but I said that next time I wanted to take somebody seriously I'd want to go all in."

When Alisa's flight landed in Detroit, Terrance had arranged for a private car to pick her up from the airport - and asked him to capture the moment they met for the first time on film.

After their magical weekend together, the besotted pair are now planning on starting a family - although Terrance says he'd like to tie the knot first.

He said: "We're trying to have a baby. I'm pretty sure she's not pregnant right now, but she could be pregnant by the time I get to Canada."

Terrance added he wants to be a "young and active" dad who can keep up with his little ones - and says Alisa agreed.

"Marriage is happening this year. We're not engaged yet but it's going to happen. She'll be married before the baby even comes out, before she's even showing," he said.

Alisa says that, while her family is apprehensive about the speed with which her relationship has progressed, she hopes they'll come around.

She said: "I'd like to say that they support me and will come with me in time, but it's my walk to walk.

"We're going into this relationship with the intention that it will work."

Since the pair shared their love story on Twitter they've receive enormous attention - both from people who think it's romantic and people who aren't so sure.

One person wrote: "This thread has me smiling so hard, y'all are cute! Congratulations."

But another, more sceptical reader said: "You got a tattoo of a girl name you only knew for 11 days? Type of nuts I never want to experience."

Terrance said: "We've received a lot of reaction online. People were saying I had a mental illness [and] that I was crazy.

"Some people criticising us might be lonely or bored. People will have their opinions, they'll say what they want to say at the end of the day.

"They want to see if we'll work out. I put out the tweet because I wanted to get people to talk about us."

Alisa insists that, despite only meeting once, the pair are very much in love.

She said: "Some people take years to figure stuff out, but not for us. It's mutual - he likes me as much as I like him.

"We're fully at a point where we feel like we love each other."

Terrance plans to move to Canada soon for at least six months - and then reckons his beau will want to make the big move to Detroit.

He said: "I don't really care too much about where we end up living. It'll be my first time going to Toronto when I fly up on June 3rd. I'm very excited about the move."
