Ethan and I met in Physics class on our first day of college. I had recognized Ethan as being a fellow Bucklew Scholar, said hello, and asked if I could sit beside him. Over the course of the Fall semester we became friends through class and our mutual friends. In the Spring semester our friendship continued to grow as we ate lunch together several times a week between classes. In the late Spring I started to have inklings of feelings for Ethan, but wasnt quite sure if I just really enjoyed our friendship or if there was something more. Not wanting to ruin our friendship or make drama for our friend group, I did my best to ignore them. During finals week Ethan told me that he liked me and asked me out on a date. After the creation of a pro-con list and thoroughly discussing all possibilities with Ethans wingman, Murad, I agreed to give things with Ethan a shot. We had the best first date and have been happy together ever since!
