The first time we met was....

He lived next door but I didn’t know who he was. He’d say hi but I thought he was just another “player” I used to sit outside on the porch at Muskingum University, where myself and some friends shared a house. One day I saw this shy man in the dinning hall, as I walked to the salad bar. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. So I smiled and kept walking. There’s this app called Tinder (lol) and after a friend's recommendation, I decided to get on the tinder app. I saw the SAME man from the dining hall on the app!!!! His name was Gerald Hall. I also noticed that Gerald Hall had “Super Liked” Karla Escobar! So I sent Gerald a message to confirm that the same man that I saw in the dining hall was the same man Karla was seeing on Tinder!

Sophomore/Freshman Year: I saw Karla during my sophomore year of college, her freshman year. I thought "Ok, girl of color on campus. I'm sure I would see her around." Well, that did not happen. I partied almost every weekend and saw her out once at a party, but she stayed for all of 3 minutes. Junior/Sophomore Year: New year and to my surprise, guess who lived next door?!? We were next door neighbors for the first semester. I spoke every time I saw her on the porch. She seemed very nervous as if she was shocked that I was talking to her. I did not hold that against her. After some time passed, I move to another dorm. My roommate told me about this Tinder App. I was shocked to find out my entire college campus was on it. As I am swiping left and right I saw a familiar face; I could not tell by her pictures if it was her or not, so I decided to hit the "super like" button to get a response. A couple of hours went past I went to the cafe for dinner. As I walked in guess who was at the salad bar?! I walked up to her to let her see me; I said "what's up." Her eyes got big, and she turned red in the cheeks! Karla looked up at me smiling and quickly went back to her friends. Seconds later, she texted on tinder "was that you in the cafeteria I saw?" I said "Why yes! Yes, it was!" Thus or bond began. Now! You wanted the truth there you have it. As told by Honest-G himself.

It was the SAME MAN in the dining hall, the SAME MAN on the app and the SAME MAN that lived next door!!! From that moment our story began and continues to grow each and every day, he’s my rock, he gives me strength to face my demons and the tough times. We're each others BEST Friend!!!
