Steve and I met in April 2015 at a bar called Liberty Tavern in Arlington, Virginia. When I walked into the bar, I noticed that there were two seats open near the bar area. I asked the gentlemen next to me (Steve) if anyone was sitting there and he said no. He made a funny joke and we started a conversation. By the end of the night, he was able to convince me to give him my number. We went on our the first date that Friday and have been together ever since.
