GET TO KNOW OUR STORY

Blanca met Dale at a barbeque at his apartment, invited by her classmate and roommate of Dale. They went on to be friends and spent time getting to know each other. After about a year of getting to know each other, Dale decided to share his thoughts with Blanca about wanting to go out and explore the possibility of a relationship to be more than friend. Blanca was hesitant and asked to "stay friends" as she was working on her schooling, had been spending time with others, and was not in the place to date him. Dale was a true gentleman, respected Blanca’s request, and moved on with life. Dale was also immersed in his program and was busy in the coming years. 

When he "returned to the world," Dale reached out to several friends, including Blanca to catch-up. This time around Blanca was in her last year of her program and was more open to the possibility of dating. Dale and Blanca spent time together as friends and Blanca started to question whether her feelings were more than friendship, maybe love. At that time Dale had what he calls the "Blanca Stipulation," which kept Blanca strictly a friend, per her request. On a movie night, Blanca asked Dale whether he still had any more feelings towards her and explained she was open to going on a date. The tables turned. Dale asked Blanca on a dinner and a movie date, and they had their first kiss. They dated for about 3 months and on Valentines day 2012 Dale asked Blanca to be his girlfriend with a romantic gesture that included rose petals and dressed up teddy bear. After 4 years of dating, Dale surprised Blanca with proposal in Spanish at their housewarming on August 7, 2016. She said yes.
