We were introduced to each other through a mutual friend. One night when Josh was laying in bed, his roommate's girlfriend decided to come over at like 2am. Josh, being fresh out of the Marines, assumed someone was breaking into the apartment. He picked up his shotgun and aimed it at the door. He recognized her as she came in, putting the gun down. The next thing out of her mouth was "you remind me of a crazy girl I met in college." When she and I finally saw each other again, she told me the story of what had happened and told me to message him.
Our first "date" was at the Holyoke mall. I was mandated to pull a double shift at work and I got a few hours in-between the shifts. I told him I was going to the mall and we met outside of Hot Topic. We walked around for a little while and I barely spoke to him. I then lied to him and said I had to go back to work when I still had like two hours left because I was incredibly nervous. We went out to the parking lot and he said he had a graduation present for me in his car. I pointed at a Camaro and asked him if that was his car. No, it wasn't. He drives a Challenger. After this, I would continuously cancel plans with him because I was super nervous to see him. Our first actual date that I consider a date was a double date at Hammonasset Beach and he hates the beach.
