We first met at a Super Bowl party our freshman year of undergrad, but Ben was going on a blind date the next week and wasn't even interested in me. Fast forward over a year later, we again crossed paths at a party at which I talked to Ben's friend more than I talked to him. Later that night I get a screenshot from our mutual friend of texts between Ben and her, asking if I was single. She gave him my number, and after 3 dates and me trying to define the relationship by panicking and literally asking him "What do you want from me?", we became official. I then proceeded to go out of the state/country for the next 2 months, but clearly it worked out just fine.
