Back when I was in the middle of my Junior year of college (sparing you the details) I found myself in Naomi's family's home. It seemed like a dim Janurary evening, but Naomi was there. I felt betrayed by my emotions. "She is young. I can't like her. (and other similar thoughts)" And after some very mild flirting we said goodbye and that was that. Then a number of months later she visited her brothers at GCC. I randomly saw the family and said 'hi' making sure I discerned which twins was which. Later that night Elliott asked if I was willing to take one of his sisters to their HS prom.

After asking my mom if it was OK :) I said yes. And that was what started our relationship. Well, not really. I think it was me asking her dad two weeks later if I had permission to date her. At that time she had no idea I liked her that much, nor her parents, nor my parents.... But for reasons I am stil confused about why I was given a thumbs-up. Hmmm, (technically) I guess it was three days later when I asked Naomi via email (while we were talking on the phone) if she wanted the nickname of "Tony's girlfriend"
