Mike and I were both part of the same improv troupe at SUNY Geneseo, and were introduced by a mutual friend. During that first conversation, we talked for almost an hour, discussing everything from music, to science, to life philosophies. Neither of us had ever experienced such an immediate connection with another person. Some time later, we started messaging during summer break. Then one night Mike called me, and we talked for hours. From that day on, we talked on the phone for hours each and every night until we returned to Geneseo for the Fall Semester. We began dating shortly after.
