Talk about right place, right time. The stars aligned when the two were both in Long Beach on the same night. Chris had just moved into his new apartment in Downtown and little did he know Cristal was just around the corner. He swiped right, and so did she. After striking up an amazing conversation and having some laughs, they agreed to have dinner at Pasta Sisters in Culver City. He picked her up and they enjoyed a romantic date of Italian food and wine. Cristal felt like she had been interrogated with questions like, "what are you looking for in a partner?". He came off a bit too strong, leaving her a bit uncertain. She expected a kiss at the end of the night and nothing came. The next day, her mom (Lilia) told her she had received flowers and a card thanking her for a great night. The rest is history.
