It was Raef's 30th birthday and he had a weekend event celebration, that he invited Olivia and her sister (Silvia), through his good friend Meena (Olivia's brother-in-law). We (Olivia & Rafek) were friends from before but never thought anything of each other at the time. The First Night of the Birthday: When Olivia had arrived to the birthday, Rafek was already there and he was dancing with his friends; to include Olivia (because she's shy around people she doesn't know) in the fun, he took Olivia's hand (on arrival) and started dancing with her (just a friendly dance, with no intent). After a few songs, we started catching up with everyone and that was the end of the night. The Second Night of the Birthday: This day, we barely spoke all day, until about the last hour prior to Olivia and her family left. That hour has become a very important hour in our lives now. As we spoke, the conversation seemed extremely easy and quite fun; it turned out Olivia isn't super shy when she feels comfortable. The conversation was going so well, that right before Olivia was leaving, Rafek asked Olivia if they can continue this conversation another time. Up to this point, Olivia had no idea that Rafek was interested (which ultimately happened because of that hour of conversation). At first, Olivia denied Rafek; rejecting his initial suggested date, but Rafek's persistence changed the date to Olivia's availability, Tuesday 08/17/2021, and that was the end of the night. First Date: Rafek drove an hour and a half to Victorville (Olivia's town) to pick Olivia up and go out with her there. We had incredible conversation that was as smooth as butter; at that very moment, Rafek realized that he may have found someone that can he see as a lifetime partner. We conversated until 11 PM (Rafek's bedtime is 9 PM for reference and still had an hour and a half drive home), that is how intriguing this relationship was to us; we both had found someone that we saw something unique in each other.
