Nick started working in the same office as Alicia back in 2011. He completely over dressed on his first day and wore a suit. No one wears suits there. Alicia was friendly like she always is and said "Hi" to Nick. He completely ignored her. She thought this guy is an over serious jerk for sure (he actually just didn't hear her). Time went by and they started hanging out after work. They'd regularly watch Michigan football games together in the fall. After many months of ambiguousness many of their friends were asking if they were dating. Neither of them were sure since there was no official "asking out". One thing led to another and Nick eventually got the courage to ask her out in the spring. 6 long years of dating later (I know, took forever) Nick finally proposed. Everyone sighed with relief "finally"!
