Maxwell and I have known each other for a little over a year. We had seen each other a few times and had had friendly conversations here and there, but we never thought anything would come out of it. And then one faithful day, my mother came and told me that one of her friends wanted me to meet her son and that she believed I would be a great fit for her son. And I was surprised because it sounded like an arranged marriage, LOL. And I told her she better NOT give him my number because I'm not too fond of this arrangement. But she was persistent and eventually, I gave in.

Maxwell contacted me sometime in the beginning or middle of August. We chatted small and then he asked if we could go out on a date and get to know each other better. I agreed, we went to Carvel (his choice) for our first date. He was so quiet, barely talked but he listened carefully as I was talking. At the end of the date, I wasn't convinced because he barely spoke the entire time. But we continued talking via text and then on the phone. Then he asked to go out again, but this time to a place of my choosing. So we went out to dinner at Grandlux Cafe. This time, he spoke a little more than he did on our first date, he opened up small which was enough to get us to another date. We connected and have been together ever since then.
