We met through mutual friends & sister on a trip to Palm Springs. After some silly banter and a common interest in running, we had a plan to meet up sometime to go for a run just as friends. That morning Pratik said he was not able to make it due to an injury. Instead of rescheduling, he had the bright idea to meet for dinner instead. Of course I happily agreed. A simple "friend hang out" ended up becoming dinner, a movie, and dessert. He was so respectful and such a gentleman. He even picked me up and brought me my favorite ice cream, which I didn't even think he had noticed during the Palm Springs trip. I remember coming home and telling my sister, "I think I just went on a date?" From there, the rest was history!
