How we met? The short answer is online. The long answer is it was the first date that almost wasn't. One Friday night, Megan was sitting bored on the couch. She'd had an OKCupid account for some time, but hadn't met anyone interesting. On a whim, she created a new account. One of the first matches she received was Rob. She typed up a pretty lengthy email about what she liked on his profile, and hit send. A few minutes later, she got an message back. Coincidentally, they had messaged each other at the same time. Rob was very sick with a cold at the time and they only ended up messaging each other once a day either because of the illness or because he edited his messages multiple times before sending. After a few days of messaging, Rob smoothly mentioned that he would be frequenting his favorite bar on Friday, October 14, 2011. To which Megan equally smoothly replied, "What time do you happen to frequent your favorite bar." They agreed to meet and Megan waited outside for almost 20 minutes after their agreed upon time. As it turns out, Rob had been sitting inside, having a beer already, all along. As Megan was getting ready to leave, because this new guy was clearly not showing up, Rob texted her to inform her that he was already inside. They talked for hours, went and got some great food at Ben's Chili Bowl, and star gazed on the mall. The only reason the date ended, was because the DC Subway system was shutting down for the night.
