Yes, Eric indeed had a crush on Jenny.
Early Impressions and Mutual Attraction
When Jenny and Eric first met in college, there was an immediate and strong mutual attraction. They lived across the street from each other, and their initial encounter was described as "crush at first sight." This indicates that Eric, alongside Jenny, experienced an instant romantic interest in her.
A Path to Romance
Despite this immediate connection, Eric and Jenny did not begin dating right away. Years passed before their relationship officially blossomed. What ultimately brought them together was a shared passion: their mutual love of Vietnamese food. This common interest provided the catalyst that finally turned their initial crushes into a committed relationship.
