Question

How did you two meet?

Answer

It all started in high school, where Erik was your average guy—into video games and music—while Victoria had that “athletic yet casually cool” vibe. One day, in the middle of the hectic hallway, Erik saw her. He tried to muster up the courage to say something cool, like a confident “What’s up?” or maybe even a casual compliment on her shoes. But no, all he could do was stare like a deer in the headlights. Victoria, oblivious to his inner turmoil, flashed a smile and kept walking, leaving Erik there, frozen in time Fast forward to the end of high school, and Erik and Victoria went their separate ways, still existing in the same universe but never quite crossing paths. Erik dove headfirst into his love for Muay Thai and rapping. Meanwhile, Victoria, a natural athlete, pursued her dream of playing softball in college occasionally wondering about Erik, the guy who seemed to have his own thing going. Years later, after college and their separate adventures traveling abroad, Erik decided to message Victoria on social media. His fingers hovered over the keyboard. After what felt like hours of hesitation, he typed, “Hey Victoria, do you like to surf?” and hit send before he could stop himself. A moment later, a reply popped up. She remembered him—and not only that, but she was also interested! They spent hours catching up, laughing about high school and swapping stories from their post-graduation lives. Erik shared his Muay Thai experiences, and Victoria talked about her softball victories. It was as if they’d always been friends, even if it took years to connect. In the end, Erik and Victoria realized that sometimes, it’s not about timing—it’s about having the courage to take that first step. For Erik, it was sending a message; for Victoria, it was reconnecting with the guy who had once been too shy to talk to her—but turned out to be the one she had always been waiting for.
