We met at the gym where Derek was working at the time. I had thought he was cute and it took two months to finally get the courage to try and get his attention. I finally got it by following him into the basketball court and setting into a hoop across from him. I saw he was copying me by trying to throw a basketball in backwards. I asked if he was copying me and we ended up talking for two hours in the basketball court. He gave me his number and we went on our first date four days later!
