How we met

So we met at a bar...

From James's point of view: Lindsay and I met on a Thursday afternoon in the Spring at our favorite bar Sharkeys. It was a perfect day and I was doing what I normally did which was race the boys to see how many Long Island Iced Teas we could drink before happy hour ended. Our mutual friend Madison showed up with Lindsay in tow and they both sat at our booth. I really enjoyed talking to her, she was fun and I wanted to be around her so invited myself to hangout with her at the next bar after my friends left to go home. I remember talking to her all night and having a great time but not remembering what we talked about but I knew I really liked her. I spent the rest of the semester spending all of her dining dollars on Brueggers bagels dates. We have been inseparable ever since. From Lindsay's point of view: On Thursday, April 25, 2019, myself and one of my roommates decided to go to Sharkey's for happy hour. We were meeting my bridesmaid Madison there. Madison arrived a little bit after us, and we spent most of the evening hanging out and enjoying our cheap drinks. As the night progressed, we all sat at a table with a group of Madison's friends (now, many of my own friends). I was seated across the table from James and he eventually started a conversation with me. Shortly thereafter, Madison and her friends were leaving to go home. James asked me if he could stay with me and my friends and go to Hokie House with us, and then spent the rest of the night following me around. It was a busy weekend following that night, as Justin was visiting and James went to a festival with his friends, so I didn't really expect to speak to James again after I hadn't heard from him for a couple of days. However, the following Monday I received a text from James saying "Hi, this is James" and we have been inseparable since. I always knew Sharkey's was the best bar, but I never really knew the impact it would have on my life until I met James and my life instantly changed for the better.
