Our first date was March 5th, 2023. We had planned to meet at Dancing Mule Coffee Co. in Springfield. When making the plans, Cheyenne had promised that it would be the best coffee date of my life, and she was right.

As soon as Cheyenne got out of her car and I saw those big brown eyes, I was a goner. We hugged, proceeded inside and sat down with our coffees. We talked about our lives, our families, and how worried I had been about the pimple on the very middle my forehead; in which I had heavily contemplated wearing a hat to conceal.

As we were nearing the end of our coffee date, Cheyenne mentioned her undying love for hot dogs and how a real "green flag" would be a man with a Sam's Club or Costco membership so she could get that exclusive meal combo. At that moment, I pulled out my father's extra Sam's Club card and said, "You hungry?" While holding back joyful tears, she timidly replied, "Really?" Next I knew, we were off in my car to the club. I heard a quote once, and it's something I think of every day: "A hotdog with an interesting person is a much better time than a steak dinner with boring person." Let me tell you, I've never seen someone so excited about a hot dog. Her smile and joy was infectious, neither of us could stop giggling. Afterwards, we made our way back to her car and parted ways. It would be a whole 24 hours before we saw each other again for Date #2...
