He connected with a woman who was looking forward to selling her china cabinet that she received as a gift from her late grandmother.

“When I arrived we found out we both loved antiques, same age, both single, same college major. A few weeks later after she gave me her #, I texted her asking her out on a date, and our first date just happened to be on my birthday. I guess you can say she owns the china cabinet again. Lol. My name is Ben. Her name is Heather. She's a microbiologist and I'm a wetlands scientist,” reads the rest of the story.
