yeah NOLSe the neckbeard is essential in finding someone you love. Just means I gotta keep it!
Here is how I handled my current situation:
saw her in august at a pre-registration thing in Bellingham. We then moved in on the same day and I saw her carrying an ice axe into our dorm, said to my mom, "I'm going to meet that girl, she's a climber."
Ran into her the next day at the climbing wall, introduced myself, invited her and her best friend to squamish because they hadn't been. Wirlwind, MisterE, myself and the ladies bouldered in squamish. Jen broke her arm but I convinced her to come down to Love Fest at smith anyway to hangout. She came down, we smooched at the grasslands, started dating a few days later. I only knw her for about two weeks before we started going out, and it'll be 8 months this friday. I'm in love with her
