According to Ryan, their friendship is something out of a fairy tale. Ryan revealed that they had been buddies for a long time. He shared that their first date was a double date, and they were dating different people. He said:
“Next thing you know, she was going to Boston, I was going to Boston and I said, ‘Well, I’ll ride with you.’ We got on the train and we rode together. I was just begging her to sleep with me. I would use a little bit of tear stick so I could get the tears kind of rolling…then I would tell a little sob story about my life.”
