How We Met
Matt and I met on my very first day living in Sacramento, August 16, 2007. I needed to figure out what time I worked the next day so I went into Best Buy in my street clothes. Thinking I was a customer (and as I later found out, that I was cute) Matt came up and asked if I needed help finding anything. After informing him that I was the new car audio associate he in turn introduced himself as my new manager. Because I was in a relationship at the time, I thought nothing of the interaction other than the fact that I thought he had a nice smile. He, apparently, had other plans because shortly after meeting he told a mutual friend that he called "dibs" on me and that, even though I was seeing someone, I would come to him.
Almost immediately after I started Matt went back to school, causing him to step down from his manager position and into a car audio installer role. This caused us to start spending a great deal of time together and after my relationship ended in February of 2008, I realized that I wanted to get to know this guy better. But, try as I might, I got nothing but rejection. At one point he agreed to meet me for lunch one day at school and I sat there alone for an hour because he stood me up! When he finally did invite me out (to a concert) I discovered that he did so in order to try and set me up with his best friend.
By the end of the night though, I'm pretty sure I'd won him over. Starting then we spent almost every night together studying and watching Smallville, and about a month later (finally) he kissed me. He should be very happy that I'm persistent and when I want something, I get it. =)
