Mike and Kristina first met when Kristina was moving into her new apartment in the inner Richmond area of SF. She was parking her BMW in the garage and Mike was "chilling" downstairs. He tried to help her carry the stuff she was moving upstairs and she refused the help. Kristina remembers how weird it was that this bro was trying to be so helpful but wasn't smiling at all.
Mike and Kristina went on an official first date in late 2011 and officially started dating in November 2011. Mike took her to Mandalay Restaurant which was Burmese food nearby to their apartment in inner Richmond. Kristina was highly offended when he wouldn't let her split the bill.
In late Nov 2011 Mike too Kristina out with his friends for Karaoke. Here's Kristina's video taped evidence that she sent to friends at the time - her and her friends were all in shock. Mike, on the other hand, was fairly annoyed that he was recorded.

Mike and Kristina met when she was working at Ernst and Young which meant brutal long hours. Here's the only EY work event Mike was forced to go to - the December 2012 Christmas party.
June 2013 Kristina told Mike to come upstairs and meet her foster puppy. He was allergic to dogs and highly against getting one. The foster puppy became Barley, their foster failure. Barley quickly wedged her way into Mike's heart and, somehow, Mike's dog allergies miraculously resolved.
