Simon and Amanda met on Sunday, June 22nd 2014. The World Cup Game was playing at every bar in Hoboken. Portugal vs. USA to be exact. Amanda started her day by herself. She decided to walk into the bar, Mills Tavern. After the game was over, Amanda saw "McDonalds" directly across the street, which she had been boycotting for a while. She could not resist any longer and needed to get her usual 10 pc mcnuggets! Little did Amanda know, Simon was behind her in line thinking of ways to get her attention. Unfortunately, he was not quick enough and after Amanda got her meal, she walked out the door. As Amanda was eating her fries and mcnuggets on her way home, a girl from her college saw her and said "come to Cadillac Cantina with my friends and I". Amanda decided to turn around and was facing the big rectangular McDonalds window. As she was crossing the street, she noticed a very handsome young man waving at her through the window. She was going to go back into McDonalds to use the restroom anyway but when she walked in, Simon's two friends Spencer and Brendan started to talk to her but Simon was speechless. Simon, Brendan, and Spencer thought Amanda was getting along with them so they all decided to find Amanda's college friends at the bar "Cadillac Cantina" but the girls were not there and Amanda was stuck with the three guys. Simon was the first to ask what Amanda wanted to drink. He finally mustered up the courage to talk to her. Because Amanda was by herself with men she did not know..she decided to quiz them all to judge their character. Amanda said to Simon "so, you said you have two sisters around your age, what is your advice to them about men?" Simons eyes got really big...and he said..."avoid them at ALL cost." Amanda smiled big and said, "good answer." Simon then got her number and after a month of awkward texts and "TTYLS", he finally got a date with her and the rest is history.
