Izydora

Max and I went to grad school together.  We were both in the same program, getting a masters in public health, and our first day of class, in a small group, we were paired up together to introduce ourselves.  I was attracted to him immediately, and I thought to myself, "I'm going to date this man."  It was the only time in my life I'd ever met someone and been so sure that we would be right together.  He was cute and sweet, but as it turned out -- not on the market.  So I immediately gave up on dating him and found someone else.  For about a year we chatted in class and occasionally saw each other at social gatherings, but we didn't see much of each other outside of that.  Then, that summer, he and I both ended up single at around the same time, and a mutual friend invited us both to go see a movie.  We had dinner afterward, and initiated a slow flirtation.  The three of us went out a few more times, and then eventually Max invited me out on a date.  Our first date was to a comedy club in Philadelphia.  We've been together for three years, and we're now in medical school together.
