“‘Ma’am, you have to be 21 to enter the club. We’re going to have to ask you to leave,’ said the host of a Las Vegas club. Ken and I were in Vegas for a NSBE conference in spring 2009 while in college at the University of South Carolina. Since we both were under 21, we had to take the walk of shame back to our hotel while our friends got to party. I thought during the walk home he’d be blown away by my dashing looks and we’d start talking, but he…”

On our first date, we had so many connections and similar life experiences, that we swore we had met before; whether it was at a Clemson football game, our same apartment complex, or from downtown Greenville. We were inseparable from the beginning, but told ourselves we would just remain friends. Obviously, that didn’t last long, and we started dating a few months after that first date. We knew right away that this relationship would be important, and decided…”

CJ told me he loved me three weeks into dating, and that he would marry me…sometime shy of a year into dating. At only 16 years old, I remember thinking, ‘he is crazy!’ Looking back though, I realized…”

I had never actually gone on a date with someone I met from a dating app, and had no intention of meeting him- like, ever. I wasn’t looking for anything serious at the time, and Dylan would tell you the same. After finding out that we shared some mutual friends, I became a little more interested, and so we continued to talk back and forth. Dylan ended up asking me on a date, but because I was so nervous to actually meet him for the first time, I backed out the night before and pretended…”
Read More“Charles and I met at our church’s college/20s ministry, ‘The Well.’ We had several mutual friends, and for a long time, would always just say, ‘hi.’ Eventually, we both ended up being greeters, welcoming people in as they came to The Well, and we quickly became friends. After several months of growing our friendship, countless conversations about life, faith, and our future, multiple game nights (and by game night, I mean playing Rock Band), he asked my dad to date me…”
Read More”Reggie and I met at Presbyterian College in 2012 at the start of our freshman year. We were coincidentally taking Biology 105 together, and were assigned to the same study/class group. It was just me and three random guys. Reggie was different from the other two; he was a freshman just like me, and he was similarly taking the course to fulfill a prerequisite to attend pharmacy school. We quickly learned our schedules were almost identical- we had every class together, with the exception of freshman seminar. After the struggles of college set in…”
