Ben and Ashton met in the spring of 2015. Ashton needed a math tutor for a class that she was in while attending the University of Phoenix online. A mutual friend of theirs, Happ, was roommates with Ben at the time and knew he had tutored math in the past. He asked Ben if he would like to tutor Ashton and he happily accepted. When Ashton arrived at his house, she wasn't sure of what she was getting herself into. The worst case scenario was that Ben was a forty-something year-old gaming nerd. When he opened the door, her eyes widened and said that she was here for Ben. The moment she discovered that the person answering was Ben, she knew she was in a bit of trouble. In lieu of payment, he requested beer and pizza. So every week, Ashton happily brought a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedos and a large 'John's Favorite' pizza from Papa John's. She was a woman after his own heart <3 After 6 weeks of tutoring, they got to know each other a little bit. They found themselves laughing and connecting. After the class was over, Ashton was worried she wouldn't see him again. So, she decided to ask him out for drinks to 'thank him' for helping her pass the math class. From that moment on, the rest is storybook history...
