Nick and Melanie met playing soccer on their Friday night coed team, the Shamewalkers. Melanie joined the team in June 2007 after being invited by co-worker Adam Kane. Adam also invited Nick to join the team the next season. (They had previously played at UTD together.)
Just friends....for now
After many seasons of just being friends, Melanie confessed to some teammates in November 2008 that she liked Nick but didn't want to say anything to avoid hurting his and her friendship. In December 2008 both Nick and Melanie went to a Christmas Sweater Party with some other people from the soccer team. At the party, Adam hinted to Nick that someone on the team liked him. (Thanks, Adam!) Happy to hear that it was Melanie, Nick asked her out the next day. Come to find out, Nick felt the exact same way about Melanie, but also didn't say anything before so as not to risk jeopardizing their friendship.
Their first date was December 9, 2008 at Olive Garden. They both instantly knew they were meant to be more than friends and this was the real deal!
