In September of 2018, when we were in college at Texas A&M, Cayden and her friend were looking for something to do on an away game Saturday night. After a few messages back and forth, Cayden found out a friend of a friend (Drake) was throwing a party at his place. With nothing better to do, Cayden and her friend decided, "why not?!" Upon Caydens arrival, in typical Drake fashion he wanted to talk to everyone. While in typical Cayden fashion she was very shy at first. Nevertheless, with some persistence, the two of them began to realize they had more than a few things in common.

After texting back and forth for a few days, Drake decided to take a previously untested strategy of simply messaging Cayden and telling her that he would be picking her up at 8 the following night for a date. To Drake’s surprise this actually worked and Cayden responded by quickly accepting, even though the itinerary of the date was unknown to her. Cayden secretly envisioned dating a guy with a truck. To her surprise, the following night when Drake picked her up he came to her front door and knocked (didn't just text her “here” or “Yo get in”), and opened the passenger door for her into a pickup truck. At this point (in Cayden’s mind) Drake was off to a good start. The main event after dinner, which was still a surprise to Cayden, was to go ice skating on couples night. Drake picked this idea solely as a giant excuse to hold hands. Both of them being lifelong Texas kids meant they were mediocre at best on an ice rink. After taking turns almost falling and catching each other, they left the ice rink with a first date going as good as it could go.
