Alex and I met at Alabama our freshman year through mutual friends, Virginia Lowry and Amanda Kim. Jump to our sophomore year, with some convincing, I invited Alex to my Tri Delta date party, Southbound. I thought of him as my one and only guy friend that I had at Alabama so I was very hesitant when we started entertaining the idea of going on a date. Our first "real date" however was at Blaze Pizza in Tuscaloosa the day after we lost the National Championship to Clemson.
