Couple #11 - Videogames and a Non-Virtual Love

Chelsea and Nathaniel met during their freshman year of college. One day, Nathaniel popped his head outside of his bedroom door just as Chelsea was strolling by. He introduced himself and then asked her to join him for some video game playing. Although Chelsea said that she might, she never showed up for a game and Nathaniel spent a whole night in waiting.
Months later, the dorm neighbors ran into each other again at the cafeteria. This time, Nathaniel pretended not to know the girl whose eyes made him cower. Feeling snubbed, Chelsea stomped off and then proceeded to shoot dirty looks at the boy feigning forgetfulness. Finally, Nathaniel grew weary of the game of love that he and Chelsea had been dancing around for months. He went up to her and re-introduced himself. "Yeah," Chelsea responded, "we've met."
"So, if I know you and you know me, then maybe you could stop glaring at me every time we see each other," Nathaniel purred.
Now, the happy couple are college graduates (they have the same degree no less!) who have realized that they are perfect together. They have settled in San Diego, where Nathaniel proposed and where Chelsea plays video games.
