We were both at a braai, I noticed Eric and decided to shoot my shot. I asked him some silly ice breaker question like how much does a polar bear weigh... enough to break the ice! Da-Dum-Tss! I immediately realized he was also Afrikaans; with us being the only two Afrikaans people there that night, we ended up talking all night and exchanging numbers before going home! On our first date, we spoke for hours like old friends and, even after going home, spoke all night into the early hours of the following morning. I knew then that he was the one for me.
