We met by total chance at a Croatian rock concert, in the dingiest dive bar anyone has ever seen. It was November 11, 2016 and neither one of us was planning on being there that night. Dan was dragged out by his sister and Ivana was guilt tripped into going out by her friends. Ivana: From the minute I saw him, I was trying to figure out a way for us to meet. He had an amazing smile and aura about him, I couldnt resist. Thankfully we shared a lot of common friends and It didnt take long to strike up a conversation. Dan: The first time I saw Ivana, I was immediately interested in meeting her. I loved her smile and couldn’t help myself checking her out multiple times. I was a little shocked that I’ve had never seen her before, especially after realizing I knew most of her friends. Ivana: Dan came over from the other side of the dance floor and started talking with my friends. The second I saw an opportunity I threw out some comments about the 2016 presidential election, not just because I wanted to meet him, but also because I didn’t like his candidate. Dan: As soon as we met, I knew I wanted to learn more about her, she seemed too good to be true and I needed to investigate. I asked her to leave the dance floor and sit down at the bar to talk. I was nervous about telling her about my past, but she chimed in first - telling me about hers - and it was like fate brought us together because our stories were so similar to one another. Ivana: Next thing I remember is sitting at the bar, the noise disappeared - it was just us - until the bar manager popped our bubble asking us to leave. Everyone left, the band packed up, all that was left was us and the cleaning crew. Two hours had turned into minutes. Dan: When we left the bar I knew I wanted to see her again, I quickly asked for her number but Ivana shut me down cold. She said if I was interested in her, I should look her up on facebook sometime. Within seconds I found her on FB and the rest is history!
