How We Met

During the summer of 2013, Nate and I had met through a dating website called okcupid. We had both been recommended by friends to try this dating website, as each of our friends had found their spouses through this dating site. This was prior to the popularity of dating apps, so there was no swiping right or swiping left here; we had to go old school...scroll, click, click, click, scroll, etc.

We messaged back and forth several times about food, music and honestly I don't really remember, but after some back and forth messaging, we exchanged numbers.

I expected Nate to text me to set up our first date...but instead he CALLED!!! Being an English Literary Nerd and living on Main Street in the hipster hood at the time, I was all over anything old school and chivalrous. This guy actually picked up the phone and dialled my phone number?!! C'mon, let's be real...I was pretty darn impressed.

So we chatted on the phone for a bit and set up our first date for August 8th. After I got off the phone, my first thought was 8/8?!! Pretty good optics...but we'll see.
