Tweet I haven’t quite gotten over this high school compulsion to imagine meeting a boyfriend as meeting a guy through some shared activity, and then slowly forming a friendship, and then slowly transitioning gracefully into a “relationship,” probably by way of some heartfelt, passionate kiss in the moonlight.
