August 22nd, 2002 – Michael asks Hallie if she would like to start dating. Michael gets rejected.
August 25th, 2002 – Michael asks again. Hallie accepts.
August 30th, 2002 – We go out on the first date.
It’s been six years! Worth every moment. I love you Hallie!
You forgot to mention the 1,335,263 “How about now”s in between the initial invitation and the accepted one. For guys like us to marry up like we did, we gotta be persistent.
Troy, you are hilarious!! Yeah, I wanna know what changed about Michael in three days, Hallie. Did he swallow his food before asking you the second time, so you heard what he said?
