　　We found that we had quite a lot (of things) in common……

　　…for example, he told me that he’s a big tennis fan, which I am as well.

　　What I liked most about him was the fact that he seemed to take a genuine interest in the things I said. (我最喜欢他的一点就是他对我所说的话有真正的兴趣。)

　　You know, I’m sure you’ll agree that when you meet a lot of people for the first time and they ask you a question, you can tell (能看出来)they're not really listening to your answer, because they’re just trying to make polite conversation (礼貌地交谈), but he wasn’t like that. (但他不是那样的)

　　We kind of knew that we would end up becoming really good friends, and yeah, it’s turned out that way!
