August 2016, Chelsea was on her “self-reflection” 26th birthday trip in a cabin in the mountains of Georgia. Chelsea decided to finally take the step and join a dating app. Rob matched with Chelsea while she was still in Georgia and they began talking. As the trip came to an end, Chelsea began heading back up to Maryland. Chelsea found herself looking forward to pit stops so that she could continue her conversation with Rob. Over the next few weeks, Rob and Chelsea made plans to meet in person with Chelsea’s friends along to help mitigate her anxiety. On September 17, 2016, Chelsea spent the day with Meg and Josh at the mall waiting for their set time to come. Once that time arrived, Chelsea’s anxiety overwhelmed her as she saw Rob across the hall. She forced Josh to walk over and get his attention. From Rob’s perspective, this was very unsettling. Some random dude coming up behind you asking if you are here to meet Chelsea. Rob was pretty sure for a second that he was being catfished. Luckily, Josh quickly pointed to Chelsea (who was hiding behind Meg). They met and they were able to go to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.
