We met when Thierry came to visit family friends with whom Susanna happened to be staying during a break in her master's program. Neither one of us was expecting anything (and neither were our mutual friends)! There were several long group discussions where we got to see more of the character of the other person, what each of us cared about, what made us tick. After four of these long discussions, Thierry asked Susanna if she wanted to join him the following week for his birthday. After talking through some things on his birthday, Susanna asked, "Does that mean we're dating?" Thierry replied, "I don't know!" It didn't take too long to clarify that question and where we were headed.
