We actually first met years ago at a mutual friend’s house, long before we ever started talking or getting to know each other. At the time, we were just acquaintances and didn’t think much of it. Eventually, we started snapping each other, and over time, I began to notice him more (and realize he was really cute). After a summer of talking back and forth, and especially after I came back from Georgia, my feelings for Abo only grew stronger. A group trip to New York gave us the chance to really spend time together and get to know each other better. From there, everything just clicked. We grew closer, admitted our feelings, and went on our first date at Cira Green, where our story truly began.
