It all started on OkCupid. They went on a couple of dates (first at The Buzzmill, the second at Lucky Robot). Once Casey got home from their second date, his roommate told him to text Erika and invite her over to his place to "watch movies" and Erika was like "no way Jose". So she said she just wanted to be friends. But he didn't give up! He then asked her if she wanted to go to Austin's last X-Games at the Circuit of the Americas, which she really wanted to go to (she mentioned this on their date). She said yes, but just as friends. They had lots of fun watching people jumping around on their bikes and walking around checking out vendors trying to give out energy drinks. After that day, he just kept inviting her to things that she thought were fun (boating on Lake Travis, house parties, going out downtown). Eventually, she realized that he was a really awesome guy and fell for him. A few months later, to help push things forward, Erika told Casey she liked him. And not even a couple of weeks later, on August 7th, after they went to go watch Suicide Squad with a few of her friends, Casey drove Erika to her apartment, held her hand, and nervously asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend. And she said yes. The rest is history.
