Connect How did your love story begin?

We ran into each other occasionally with mutual friends and always had really good conversations when we did. As we encountered each other more frequently, the vibe started to change. I came out more often because he was around. We left the bar at the same time one night, hugged goodbye, and I couldn't take it anymore so I kissed him in the street. We both went home, but texted immediately about how great that was. A hug and smooch goes a long way. We've been inseparable since.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

We went to see The Flaming Lips and had a great time being idiots together. We sat on a picnic table to wait for some traffic to clear out. We were busy being affectionate and lost in our own world then some guy yelled "What is it your third date?" We laughed at him and told him it had been over a year. He didn't seem to believe us. His wife was visibly annoyed. Later we saw them arguing while walking to the car. We celebrate that day as our third date now. Love makes people mad. Lol

What would you do with $20,000?

We would definitely be putting the money towards our first home together. Both of our current living spaces are great for us as individuals, but don't work for us as a couple. We just want to live a happy little life together. Dogs, plants, music, and our specific brand of quality nonsense all under one roof.
