Karissa was having a terrible time in the dating pool, meanwhile, Austin was having a blast haha. After basically giving up and deleting all of the dating apps Karissa's friend convinced her to give it another shot...within a day Austin and Karissa matched. After a few short text exchanges Austin seemingly lost interest...but about a week later Karissa was meeting up with Emily to play pool in the stockyards and decided to do the unthinkable...double text! She messaged Austin to see what he was up to and he said his mom was in town and he was hanging out the house and asked her what she was doing. She told him she was headed to the stockyards and he said "Well if that's an invite then i'm in" so they decided to meet up at Filthy McNasty's. When Austin walked in some poor little 22 year old was trying to put the moves on Karissa and after standing back and observing Austin swooped in and saved the day. Now, if you know Emily you know how protective she is and if she doesn't like you she's going to make it known. Emily did something she's never done before, after just 30 minutes she said she was going home and left Karissa and Austin alone to enjoy the night! Karissa spent the evening showing Austin around her favorite places and sharing why she loved the stockyards so much. It didn't take long for both of them to realize that this was meant to be. They spent the night laughing, meeting people and enjoying each others company. Soon they were inseparable. Except that first weekend after they first met...if you don't know that story don't worry, I'm sure someone at the wedding will share it haha!
