Hey, Hurdlers, Emily here. You are listening to another installment of Five Minute Friday from Hurtle.

For Five Minute Friday, I share a story. I offer you a thought prompt to take you into the

weekend and then I give you a few highlights, whether that's content picks, movies,

podcasts, courses that I think are pretty rad to finish things off. I am always looking

cocktail appropriately. So we went to have one drink around the corner. And when we got there,

we met these two guys that were friends of my friend's friend. It's like a whole kind of web here.

And basically the moral to this story where I'm telling you this is because one of those guys asked my friend's friend

for my number and then he asked me out. And so I said yes. And we picked a day and then he and I

rescheduled once. And in the meantime, before we actually

went out on said date, of course, we start to text about the normal things that you start to
