Q + A

When our mutual friend Kate set us up on a blind date at Virginia Tech, neither of us had high expectations. We weren’t looking for a relationship — Samantha just wanted to hang out with her friends, and Samuel was there to have a good time with his. We were both just looking for a fun night, not realizing that it would turn into something much more meaningful. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect, but we were both open to the possibility of getting to know someone new.What started as a casual date party quickly turned into hours of talking and laughing, the kind of easy conversation that just felt natural. We both found ourselves surprised by how much we had in common — everything from our favorite music to our sense of humor — and the more we talked, the more we realized this could be something special. We were both enjoying the connection, but it wasn’t until later that we both admitted how much we enjoyed each other's company.From that very first conversation, something just clicked, and it didn’t take long for us to realize this was the beginning of something more than we ever expected. We didn’t realize it in the moment, but that night set the stage for everything that would come after. What started as a simple blind date turned into the foundation of a relationship built on laughter, shared experiences, and a bond that grew stronger every day.
