When you don’t look, love strikes... On a cold December day in 2017, Chris received a message on the dating app, 'OkCupid'. 'How have you lived so long without looking both ways before crossing the street?' the message read. It was from Raechel, a girl he’d matched with a few days earlier. She was intrigued by one of the quirky facts listed on his profile: 'I cross the street without looking both ways.' After days of conversation, they agreed to meet at a bar in DC. Chris, working in Virginia at the time, thought, 'It’s on my way home—why not?' He wasn't trying to get entangled, just playing his angles, looking for a little rush. Not really looking for what was right for him, but she surprised him, and now he just can't get enough. Raechel didn't expect consistency. In fact, she was ready to give up dating altogether. So how did one hour turn into three? Chris had a way about him that made her want to lower her guard. Little did they both know, this was the start. Soon after that first date, he had her thinking about the rest of her life. Chris was about to cross a road called 'Love', and for the first time without looking, he was about to be struck.
