We met in 2019 thanks to our mutual friend and Austin’s roommate at the time Aaron. However, we’d known of each other for a few years, we hung around some mutual people in similar circles and though our paths could’ve and probably should’ve crossed many times, they never did. Austin had been recently going through a breakup and Aaron told him “ You should talk to my ex Destiny! To paraphrase he basically said “she’s absolutely perfect, sweet and pretty. Does everything you would want a girlfriend to do. But I wasn’t into it and that’s how I knew I was gay.” At that point Austin suddenly appeared in Destiny’s Facebook inbox. Though Destiny was slightly skeptical and thought Austin may be a catfish, she messaged back right away with an “Oh haii.” This was at the end of August and we’d talked for a couple weeks before we finally went on a date. Our first date was to the movies and when Destiny saw Austin standing by his mustang to pick her up she almost lost her nerve and didn’t come out. But we clicked right away. We had plenty of time before the movie and spent all of it talking which came pretty easily. We saw “Ready or Not” and spent the entire movie avoiding grabbing popcorn at the same time when we really just wanted to hold hands… the rest is history.
