In the winter of 2021 I was still adjusting to life back in Melbourne after a long stint overseas, cut short by Covid. I was having a crack at online dating when Alex’s playful profile caught my eye.
We matched, I slid into his DMs to comment on the lemons he had strategically placed next to his butt in his picture, and we were off and running. We clicked easily over text, and messaged often. But lockdowns kept postponing our dates. I think we both knew sparks would fly IRL, so we wanted to make sure it was a good one.
