We were both here on summer internships from the same university and I was wearing a tshirt from the university. We had a mutual class but never talked before meeting in DC. She saw me, recognized the t-shirt and had some idea that she had crossed paths with me in the past. She searched on FB for a person that was also in the class and checked the “mutual friends” area and I was the first person listed.

So picture this- I’m ending my intern day, getting a sushi burrito for dinner and enjoying life. I get home, have a drink and eat, then log into FB to see I have a message and friend request from someone. We messaged for a bit and agreed to meet up at a debate watch party. We hit it off and a few years later we’re happily married and back in DC together.
