How We Met

The Bee to his Honey

Today’s day and age, it’s not ones thought to go and find a significant other at a random club or bar. Dating apps are a thing. She worked a lot, traveled a lot and didn’t have much time to even think about meeting someone. Brittney’s friends had talked her into creating a bumble one night while they were out having girls night. She swiped through not really looking into it much. She came across Erik’s striking picture. She said, “this guy, he seems like fun.” She messaged him almost immediately. “Hey! You look like fun!” He said, “well, I am!” They texted for a few weeks, before they set up a date to meet up. She didn’t drink beer so much at the time, he took that into consideration. The first date was at Hollister Brewing, in Goleta. Brittney had just gotten off work and was so anxious she snuck into a near by Make Up shop to walk off the nerves. Erik texted, “Pulling up” when she frantically tried to calmly walk next door to the restaurant. She saw him walking, and frantically walked quicker into the restaurant. They sat her right next to the window. He comes up right behind her, places his hand on her shoulder, “Brittney! Hey!” He said as they hugged quickly. They sat and for the next 4 hours and talked. Learning they knew some of the same people, the same appreciation for local Nard Core music. She really admired him, right from the start. Erik was straight forward, funny, smooth talker, calm. She couldn’t believe how calm this guy was. The walk to the cars was quick, Brittney "hitched" (the movie y'all) him by jingling her keys, Erik grabbed Brittney, and well gave her the biggest smooch of her life. Well, the rest is history, here we all are today.
