She's grumpy and uncomfortable to be around now, yes, but that doesn't mean anything compared to 18 years ago. People change. They were on a team for 4 years, he'd be able to hang around her for a bit just after graduation unti she left entirely.

Besides, who's to say it wasn't when they were celebrating graduating? Everyone at the party, lots of alcohol around...Qrow didn't even need to know they were doing anything, his semblance is uncontrollable by his own words and bad luck just happens to those around him. There's nothing saying that they didn't fall in together while Qrow was nearby celebrating with other recent graduates of Beacon + Summer, and his semblance played up entirely without him actually being aware of the deed.
