Each of our heroes had a fairly rough time adjusting to their new surroundings in the city of Charlottesville. For months, all they did was work. One day, Matthew decided to approach Online Dating, for friendship if nothing else. Very little fortune resulted from his efforts, as two young women vanished from sight after only one date. Naturally, this made Matthew rather cautious. However, after he'd spent days looking at one particularly fetching woman's account, it occurred to her to point out that she could see the number of times he glanced her direction. Their profiles were designed to show each other how frequently one checked the page belonging to the other. Finally, she gave. "Having any luck on here?" Diane mustered the courage to ask him. "Not really," he replied. "Lots of people tend to ghost for some reason." "Lol well people suck," she said. The two of them exchanged phone numbers after barely a day, because she'd had enough of the available "fish in the sea" herself, let alone their one-liner approaches to her. Not long after this, Matthew broke his phone. He needed a form of communication with her, because he just couldn't leave her alone. There was just something about this one, a sweet minimalist nerd from Tennessee. The two attempted to meet at Starbucks, but Matthew failed to notice that she had picked up an extra shift. Matthew realized there was a chance that she wasn't interested after all. "You'd tell me if you weren't interested in me, right?" he texted her from his newly-replaced iPhone 5. "Of course I would!" Diane responded promptly. "I just had to take this one last shift." He gave her one final chance, and she found him: a goofy-looking shaggy-haired newspaper manager with a tweed jacket and a pair of round-framed glasses. Despite his Hobbit-like appearance, the two managed to stretch dates in to weekends, an finally a lifetime.
