It all began in 2015. Emily and her freshman roommate were looking for a fun party to go to one weekend at the beginning of the school year. They bumped into a teammate of Bill's who invited them to 'Big Bill and Mike's house' for the night. At the party, Emily was pretty interested in Bill... his 'life of the party' personality paired with his Southern Charm were likely to blame. Unfortunately, Bill left that night without getting Emily's number or really even realizing she had a thing for him. Thankfully a few weeks later, Emily's roommate bumped into Bill. She was quick to tell Bill that 'her roommate loves him' and passed along Emily's number. Bill pulled out all the stops on the first date which included an Italian dinner and a trip to the local dive bar/bowling alley. Winner of the game got a second date.
