After Paige graduated from MSU, she started working in town. Three weeks later she was approached by Matthew, who had just came back from a month long army school, and they introduced themselves. Right after, Paige called down to her friend and asked her to tell her more about 'That Matt Guy She Just Met' because Paige thought he was 'Super Freaking Cute'. Matthew was too nervous to flirt so Paige took the lead and casually suggested walking around downtown until they found some lunch. During that non-date, Matthew spent the whole time explaining why he would be a horrible person to date because he had school for many more years, would be in the Army for the foreseeable future, and had his whole life planned out, and he couldn't imagine someone would want to be a partner in that. Paige simply said "Well that sounds great to me!". Matthews jaw dropped in disbelief and Paige just smiled and started talking about anything and everything and at the end of lunch, he asked her on a breakfast date at The Western the next morning. When they met for breakfast, Matthew again tried to explain that he would be so busy and no person would want to be involved in that. Paige disagreed again and went on to learn everything she could about that lifestyle. Matthew is still in shock and Paige still laughs about all of it.
