We were both studying at the University of New Mexico and went on OKCupid to find love. While meeting every queer woman in our age group, we struck up a friendship despite Cory’s unexpressed interest in dating. We fell out of touch for six months — then Cory, with impeccable timing, opted to ask me out a month before moving to New York. I said no by accident and had to ask Cory out the next day. And the rest, as they say, is HERstory.
