“Starting from the very first text from Eric, I decided I would do things differently this time around,” she kept in mind. “From now on, if a man wanted me, he was going to have to show it. So I made Eric chase me.”
Thankfully, the University of Minnesota alum is respectable at playing catch, deftly charming his future bride-to-be from a range.
“We just talked on the phone and video chatted for like five weeks and then he flew out to Nashville and spent the weekend with me,” she showed Elite Daily in2017 Then he made his relocation: “On the way to me taking him to the airport he asked me to be his girlfriend, literally like an 8th grader.”
Which, TBH was truly the last time he had actually done this entire courting thing, his only previous relationship being a seven-year love with his high school sweetie.
“They were babies when they met, so Eric had no idea what it meant to date as an adult,” she shared in her book. “Basically, he was raised to go dutch.” His practice of splitting the costs on dates and never ever offering “to cover the bill or flights when I came in to visit him,” was irksome and left the vocalist stressed he may be broke. (This, in spite of his $2.5 million four-year agreement.)
