This conversation continued on for another three hours, and eventually ended with them agreeing to meet up to go to Blue Sushi the week after to catch up in person (as friends!!!).

Alexander and Elizabeth continued to hang out every week or so: going out for more sushi runs, Nebraska furniture mart to help Alexander pick out things for his new house, going to Louisburg Cider Mill (where Elizabeth first met his Greek friends), and Alexander’s friend group joined Elizabeth’s at her house for Halloween.

Eventually on December 7th 2022, we went out for our first “real” date, and went to Waldo Thai on Elizabeth’s recommendation. We talked and laughed for hours (which is typically how our time together is spent). We continued to go on more dates, and towards the end of January we started seriously toying with the idea of becoming an “official” couple. Alexander made a joke that he would finally ask her out officially if she got him a chocolate chip cookie from French Market, which Elizabeth introduced Alexander to as one of her favorite places.
