Juan and I first met back in October 2023 at UCF. I had tagged along with my sister to one of her classes, and that’s where I ran into him. Fast forward a couple of months, we crossed paths again at my sister's birthday party. We ended up hitting it off, chatting about all kinds of topics, and just genuinely enjoying each other’s company. Not long after, I decided to text him, letting him know I wanted to build a friendship and see if he’d be up for hanging out. He was! Our first hangout was at a cozy boba shop, where the conversation got deeper, and we realized we really liked being around each other. From there, he asked me out on a date—and, well, you can probably guess the rest!
