They met in high school. (Crazy, right?) Ran in the same circles, had some of the same friends, but never really crossed paths until a few years later. In 2014, she started working for a staffing company as a recruiter. He was a security supervisor there. Both had the same views on a lot of things, but she was seeing someone else. While he had been scorned by bad relationships. They often chatted at work, and had a decent friendship. She went off to another job in 2016, and they led separate lives. He continued to work there for quite some time. In June 2017, she mustered up the courage to tell him she liked him. He respoonded with an awkward "Thank you," and they didn't talk again until April 2018. That's when he asked her out.
