How We Met and Started Dating

Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-Fil-A!

I (Andre) needed a job after getting into a kickboxing match with a pipe support and leaving with a cracked rib. My friend/classmate, (and Laura's sister) Rose, offered me to go to Chick-Fil-A and attend the open interviews they had. On my first day, Laura was the person who trained me. We weren't really close and only had a few conversations here and there. It wasn't until we went on a trip to Passion 2020 when we started to get to know each other. After Passion, Laura had a lot of family emergencies that came all at once. I got to be the one to be there for her so we got even closer from there. May was a pivotal moment as well because I was in a heavy unstable mental state and she got to be there for me which helped me trust her completely. She started to gain feelings for me, and being a guy, I had absolutely no clue about it. During that summer, I left for South Carolina for 6 weeks. I didn't realized how bad I would miss her and how bad she missed me. When I came back, Laura and I started to hang out every single day with our friend group. My crush for her was starting to get really bad that it was physically painful. One day when I was hanging out with just Rose, I asked her if there was any chance Laura has talked about me. She said she definitely did so Rose and I devised a plan for me to ask her out. The following Friday, her and I went and grabbed some Chipotle after we got off of work and went to my apartment to eat. We hung out a little bit there and I asked her if she wanted to go on a hike with me and followed up that with "But here's the thing; just you and me: on a date". She immediately said yes. Just about everyday after that we spent entire days together and enjoying each other's presence. That's how we came to be!
