Nick and I actually met 15 years ago as freshmen at Olivet High School. We had some friends in common and ran in the same circles but never dated. A few years ago, Nick reached out to me on social media and we reconnected and formed a friendship. After a while, Nick shared his affection for me and asked me out for dinner… funnily enough, I turned him down. For over 2 yrs!! Throughout that time, we remained friends but I wasn’t in a place in my life that I was ready to date anyone yet. One night, I randomly took a chance and asked him to come over for dinner… we had venison stew and he simply never really left. Now, we can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together. ❤️
