I always believe that everything happens for a reason – two years before I moved to Berlin, I was in the middle of completing my master’s when I met Daniel.
Both of us were studying in the same university, but different majors. We hung out several times because we had mutual friends. I always admired him, he had this thick black framed glasses that made him look super hot to me – I have a thing for geeky looking guys ;)
We always had this sexual tension between us back then, but we never hooked up because we were dating other people at the time. After graduation, we went our separate ways – I moved back home and he got a job in the U.S.
While updating my LinkedIn, I found out that he moved back to Germany for another job. To Berlin, specifically! My heart skipped a beat for a minute. I was contemplating whether I should say hi and discreetly mention that I also live in Berlin now. I was living on my own in a relatively new environment – I figured, why not? I could at least meet him up for coffee to catch up. So I did, and long story short, we ended up planning to have dinner at a well-known Italian eatery in Alexanderplatz (Berliners, you know what I am talking about!)
