Coby and I (Cam) have known of each other for 20 years. My earliest memories of Coby are from the 2nd/3rd grade play at Donelson Christian, where Coby played the star sheep, Duffy the Fluffy. I remember thinking he was super cute, and would often look for him and his friends at recess--usually playing touch football. We have memories of each other throughout high school and college. For having never really had a conversation with one another, until 2017, our list of mutual friends throughout the years is kind of astounding. For instance, Freshman year of college, I took his roommate/best friend to a date party, and I have a photo from junior year, posing with all of his roommates. I digress...Fast forward to 2017, I turn 26 and decide to give the dating app Bumble a try. The first 30 minutes on the app, I come across Coby, see that he's matched with me, and swipe left (said "no thanks"). After all these years, all that I really knew about Coby was that he was popular and incredibly good looking. It seemed unlikely that he could be those things AND be dating/marriage material. Thankfully, I reached out to one of my best friends and told her about running into Coby on the popular dating app. She knew Coby a lot better than I did at the time, and she told me that I had made a big mistake by passing on Coby, so I reached out by liking one of his photos on facebook. He followed up by messaging me, and asking me on a date WITHIN 24 HOURS OF CHATTING, Y'ALL! I found his assertiveness incredibly attractive (very rare amongst millennial men in the dating world). He took me to the Cannery Ballroom to hear Whiskey Myer play. I'll be honest and say I never in a trillion years would have thought that my last first date would be with Duffy the Fluffy/Coby Comer, but I'm so glad I was wrong. Coby has been one of God's most unexpected (and sweetest) gifts to me. The days, weeks and months following that first date were just easy. He loves and leads me so beautifully.
