Ryan and Madison met their Freshman year at FSU in the Southgate Dorms. They were reacquainted their junior year when they realized they had a class together. Ryan heard the professor call Madison's name during attendance, and decided to wait for her after class. He offered to walk her to her next class and continued to do so for the rest of the semester. Finally, Ryan got the courage to ask Madison out on a date. If you know Madison, you know she will never turn down free food.
