“It was the third weekend of university, and my friends and I went to the bar to celebrate a birthday. I was having a great time dancing in the middle of the dance floor while my friends headed back to the booth. The crowd was packed when I made eye contact with this guy across the room. We danced the night away, and the rest was history.”

“When I first met Rea, she was celebrating her friend’s birthday and wasn't paying any attention to me. I found her selfless and confident attitude incredibly attractive so I made it a priority to stand out to her. I bought her and her friend a drink in the spirit of her friend’s birthday which afforded me the opportunity to spend the rest of the night with this beautiful girl who caught my attention from the second I laid eyes on her.”
