Early in any relationship, there’s a natural rush — that moment when two people realize the chemistry is real and everything feels new and full of possibility. That was true for my wife and me when we started dating, and in many ways, that spark still remains.
Our beginning, though, unfolded differently from what most people imagine, yet probably familiar to couples who started dating right before the COVID lockdown. Instead of going out, our dates shifted to my place.
There wasn’t much of a chase because we chose to ride out the uncertainty together. The usual “little black book” mindset disappeared for both of us. And honestly, without the lockdown forcing me to slow down, I might have sabotaged things — commitment wasn’t on my radar, and I’ve never been skilled at the chase.
Looking back now, I’m grateful I didn’t miss my chance. I found the person I want to build a life with. And yes, there’s still a bit of a chase between us — a playful one. She’s changed over time, and with her confidence growing after her breast enhancement, I admit a small sense of protectiveness kicks in, knowing others notice her too.
