Dave and I met in September 2017. I had just Ubered home from a bad Tinder date, when I realized I didn't have my apartment key! It was late, and my roommate was asleep. It sounded like people were talking inside my neighbor's apartment, and even though I hadn't met the neighbor, I had seen him around. He seemed nice enough. I knocked on the door, and then I knocked again... Finally, a very confused Dave came to the door. I asked if I could come in, and he said, "Hold on, one second." I later found out he was hiding his watch and credit cards, in case this crazy lady at his door tried to rob him. The conversations I heard from the hallway ended up being Dave talking to his "internet friends" while playing video games.

Anyway, he did eventually invite me in, and we ended up talking the whole night. We exchanged numbers, but he didn't text me until 3 months later (!!!) asking if I wanted to come over dinner. After that dinner, we started seeing each other more regularly and quickly fell in love.
