How He Asked Me Out

Or, The Story of the Nerd that Won't Stop Talking to Me

In my final semester of college, I finally had to take a Physics class after putting it off for so long. It happened to be the same class with a guy named Zack, who would often talk to me before class due to my Doctor Who and Captain America t-shirts, despite my best efforts to drown him out with music. The day we returned from spring break, this same weirdo came up to me and out of the blue asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No," I replied. "Do you want to go on a date?" He then proceeded to explain his logical reasoning for asking me out. I still laugh about it.

The Proposal

At MAGfest 2017 at the Gaylord hotel, Zack and I were once again doing our favorite adorable couple costumes, Rose Quartz and Greg Universe of the cartoon, Steven Universe. We met a bunch of friends at the lobby pavilion for a photo shoot. When I turned to look at some of the pictures taken, I heard a, "Will you turn around already?" Zack was on one knee, holding a rose ring made of rose quartz, and asked me to marry him. I started screaming so much that I forgot to say yes. He eventually coaxed it out of me.
