Eric and Sam first officially met on a dating app called Hinge. Even though they were from the same hometown and had lots of mutual friends (Sam's friends had even partied in the infamous green basement!), it wasn't until Hinge declared them 'most compatible' that they formally met. After a few days of talking back and forth, Eric asked Sam to trivia night at a local bar called Bridget McNeills. Neither are good at trivia so it wasn't a surprise they ended in dead last, instead they just had fun and laughed the night away. A few months later Eric confessed to Sam that he thought she wouldn't stop talking during the first date, and she said the same thing about him (really through Eric would not let Sam get a word in!) The first date went so well that before Eric could even get home that night, Sam had already asked him on a second date the very next day :)
