Roughly about nine years ago Dirk and Courtney added each other on a social media site. They began talking and planned their first date at the movies where Courtney lived. After the movie, they both said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. After that, they lost touch and continued on with their lives with other people. Three to four years later, they re-connected and went on their second first date to the same movie theater where they first met. Since then they have been making memories and going on adventures.
