Christian and I met through mutual friends because he saw me in a photo and was incessantly asking my friend Melissa if he could meet me. After repeated naggings I finally agreed to an awkward double date with Melissa and her boyfriend that I did not want to go on. Just like I thought, I was not impressed by him at the date and Melissa and I left that night to go an event in San Diego. To my (not happy) surprise, Christian and Melissa's boyfriend decided to spontaneously join us in San Diego the next day. Begrudgingly, I again went out with the 3 of them and a bunch of our other friends to a bar. Christian and I were placed on a beer pong team together and actually started hitting it off. I thought he was cute and funny and by the end of the night, he somehow convinced me to walk along the beach next to where the bar was under the stars where he stole his first kiss. I am the first girl he has ever really dated and he has told me since then that he fell in love with me that night (swoon). The rest is history.
I kept seeing pictures of Christina on Kristen’s and Melissa’s social media. After months of pleading with them to bring her around, Melissa organized a double-date with her and Rich at a Sushi restaurant in Placentia. On the night of the date, I think Christina was really nervous. She kept checking her phone and mentioning that they needed to be leaving soon. Melissa and Christina were leaving that evening for a kickball tournament in San Diego. Since they kept mentioning the trip, Rich and I took it as an invitation and to surprise them in San Diego the next day. We boarded the Amtrak bright and early on Saturday morning and met them after their last game. The look on Christina’s face when she noticed I was there as well was priceless. She may have rolled her eyes when I said hi to her but I think she was just overwhelmed with emotions. She wouldn’t stand close to me but it must have been because she stunk after her kickball games. I was beginning to realize she didn’t want me around. I knew I had to play hardball. We ended up at dinner and I delivered a comedy routine that could’ve landed me a spot on the Tonight Show. It started to work and before I knew it, she agreed to take a walk on the beach with me. The rest is history and now she’s stuck with me.
