How we met

Tasia's Version: We met at Empire Car Wash. He came in for his interview and was hired right away. With Pasong as our manager and my uncle, he introduced us formally. Cris offered his hand to shake like a true gentleman, I was awkward and wasn't used to that gesture from someone our age. I was dating someone at the time we met and had no interest in Cris. I though he was the most repulsive person ever. After I broke up with that person Cris was there for me and we became friends. We got so close that we started telling each other cringe pick up lines, like " You should tie your shoe, you might fall for me." After a while, Cris told me his feelings for me, but I was still scared. I told him in order for us to start dating he had to get approval from Pasong. After finding out he had Pasong's approval he came to me at work with this shit eating grin and asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes, and then after a few weeks we went on our first date. Cris's Version: When I started to work at Empire Car Wash, Pasong introduced me to Tasia. I offered my hand to shake, and she wasn't so sure about it. I thought I was awkward for it. I had so many questions running through my head, "Should I pull my hand away? Am I making myself look like a fool?" But at the same time I was thinking about how beautiful she was and how gorgeous her smile was. I was dating someone the same time she was with someone. After she broke up with her boyfriend at the time, I decided to do the same. It took us about 3 months to start taking interest in each other. She told me that she wouldn't date anyone unless they had approval from Pasong beforehand. So that's when I shot my shot and got his approval. Right after I went to Tasia and asked her to be my girlfriend. I had to ask her right away other wise I would have chickened out. I was so nervous to ask her. She said yes.

Our First Date

Tasia wasn't a fan of dates where you can't talk, like movies or dinner. Cris didn't want a typical boring date either. So she came up with the idea of a walk in a park with some ice cream. We talked about each other's stories and what we wanted for the future. Got to know more about each other, as more than co-workers and friends.
