Things got a little, well, icy. 🥶
Like most millennial dating stories these days, this one started in the DMs. He was a professional skier with a blue checkmark, and I was just trying not to slip up.
It was one in the morning his time when I realized that we had been talking in the DMs for almost three hours. “I don’t know when we’ll ever be able to meet, or if it even makes sense to explore a relationship while you’re training for the Olympics,” I wrote to him, “but I really like you. And I hope you like me, too.”
Michael decided to take me out for Mul Naengmyeon for our first “real” date. Even though we had never met before—barely even hearing one another’s voices beyond that short-lived phone call—it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. With nowhere to go and no one to see during the pandemic, we had immersed ourselves into a nightly texting routine that became so comfortable, a familiarity and ease was established between the two of us even before we laid eyes on one another.
Though I longed to see him in person, Michael had to be careful. “I can’t risk being disqualified because of COVID,” he explained to me over text message. With his first competition just days away, we stopped messaging every night. Michael was going to bed earlier to get up for pre-dawn mornings on the slopes. Gone was the intensity of our late-night texting back and forth.
Two days before my departure, Michael messaged back. “If you’re free, I would love to meet up,” he wrote.
