We started texting back and forth after the party. And Zach mentioned getting coffee a week or two later so we could continue conversation in person. We got Coffee at The Grind and went for a walk in grasslands on November 4th (which we now consider our first date). I ran late of course.

We kept talking after our first unofficial date, and Zach called a few days later to see if I was interested in dating and asked if he could cook dinner for me Friday evening. He told me on the phone that night his intention in dating me was to figure out if I was someone he could marry and if I was he planned to marry me. He made soup, had flowers for me, and drugged his dog with anxiety meds so we could hangout without having to worry about her. It was a lovely date.
