It all started when Ale had dropped her phone in a toilet, and needed a repair. She went in to her local AT&T store and befriended a sales associate named Jeff. Fast forward a year later, Ian was living on Amanda's, a co-worker, couch. Amanda was freshly dating Jeff at the time. Ian asked Jeff the simple question, "Do you have any hot single friends?" Thus began the story of how Ian met Ale. Jeff texted Ale if she would consider texting Ian, and Ale just deleting her Tinder app a few hours before agreed. Ale and Ian texted for weeks, and Ale kept canceling their dates again and again. As Ian was about to give up, they finally met. They went to a shitty Mexican place, and Ian spilled salsa on himself. They decided to go on a walk around the capital. Ian was wearing boat shoes in the winter, complaining his feet were cold the whole time. Ale kept saying she was crazy and could destroy his life. Thus, they decided they were in love.
