We met at the classic lake hangout, Tropicana. I was pointed out to him without my knowledge as “the girl who thinks you’re cute”. Thankful it was brought to his attention that I thought he was the cutest guy I have ever seen! Love at first sight. Jake gave me his business card like a true gentleman would (still cracks me up) and told me to text him our plans for later on in the evening. Because of that card we kept in touch throughout the summer of 2018. I stood him up (accidentally) once, due to getting the day wrong. He had gotten a Mclaren to take me out in, this would have been our first date. He still wont let that down. We finally had our first date in Charlotte, at Pins Mechanical, followed by playing pool (which neither one of us knew how to play) at another hole in the wall bar. I won obviously. That’s truly when a city girl fell in love with a small town farm boy.
