During a classic Rochester winter, full of snow and wind storms, Megan decided to download Bumble. After all, her apartment had already been cleaned, Penny played with for hours, and Netflix binged. Their conversation began with, “Hey, how’s it going?” and ended with Jamaal smoothly asking for her number. After a few days of chatter, Jamaal and Megan decided to meet at Murphy’s Law. Friends in tow, Jamaal introduced himself to Megan. Through many giggles, they planned a dinner date at the Gate House. When the day of their date came, Megan was nervous and got ready while listening to her girl Taylor’s “Begin Again”. Jamaal prepared by watching some sports. Things started off a bit rocky when Jamaal rolled up the car window on Megan’s finger. She played it cool and downplayed the pain. The two ended up at an Italian restaurant which had replaced the original Gate House. Too polite to leave once they realized, they enjoyed pasta dishes and good conversation. After dinner, the two went for a drink to keep talking. Jamaal humbly spoke about his high school basketball career, and Megan used silly voices to tell stories about her students. Jamaal left that night feeling great! Megan, on the other hand, had some reservations. Jamaal woke up to a lengthy text from Megan politely dumping him. It seemed the story was over, until.... Megan texted Jamaal again. Once Megan provided a strong argument, they decided to go to yoga together that week. After a very sweaty Breathe class, Jamaal drove Megan home. Before she could hop out of the car, Jamaal convinced Megan to give him another shot. Ultimately, she couldn’t resist that handsome smile! And the rest is history..... Until Jamaal met Penny and had to reconsider their relationship because of how many times Penny hissed at him. Luckily, the two became friends and Jamaal was finally able to propose!
