Hey there, it's Nick. Before I start the show, I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is one

scene in this episode that involves a pretty intense description of a sexual assault.

So, use your judgment before listening. But I hope you do because it's an important story.

Thanks.

I think the first time I saw Samir was at a party called The End of the World Party or something like that.

First semester freshman year off campus house.

I was walking up the stairs from the basement. He was wearing, I think like a gray,

sure, I think he was wearing like a black tie too. He was kind of dressed up. He might have had

like the spenders on. Very tall and pretty like broad too. Truthfully it was a rise.

Everyone has these fantastic pair of eyes and just a very friendly smile.

I think we got introduced and then he said, hey, do you want a dance? And I said, well,

something along the lines of, sure, as long as it's not that like bumping, grinding,

day type of dancing. Like I swing dance. I'm a dancer. I do like vintage swing dancing.

And so he's like, okay, I do a little bit of swing dance.

By a little bit, I mean like little to no swing. But I was willing to learn if I could talk to this

grow on when.

You're listening to Love and Radio. I'm Nick Vanderkulk. Today's episode

Refraction featuring On When and Samir.

Samir found me on Facebook. Like I don't know a week or two after that party.

And message mean was like, hey, do you want to hang out? I wasn't really sure if I wanted to

hang out with this person or not. But I didn't know that I didn't want to.

He asked me if I wanted to go bowling with him. So we went out and tried to go bowling.
