Queer Love Stories
I thought she was pretty cold.
I didnt think Id ever get a text back!
This week we meet 24-year-oldGIRLI, a musician, and 22-year-oldQ, a barber.
Based in London, the couple first met at a skatepark during the 2020 lockdown.
Naturally we wanted to know more.
They had to do so separately and couldnt share their answers with each other.
Get ready to be in your feels.
So how did you two lovebirds actually meet?
GIRLI:At a skatepark.
Q:It was during lockdown.
Female skaters arent always around so we started talking straight away.
What was your first date like?
GIRLI:We started seeing each other before we really had a traditional first date.
We hung out a couple times with other friends and thats how we got to know each other.
We went to the beach, went skating, and made dinners.
It was super cute how both of us were trying to play it cool.

Q loves neutrals, sherocksneutrals: beige, cream, and brown tones.
And her favourite film isForrest Gump.
Q:November or December 2020?
She always says it isnt, but her favourite colour is definitely pink.
And I will 100% get this wrong, but itll be a cult classic, likeThe Breakfast Club.

Sucker for letting the first timers in and being a bit of an experiment.

Whats your partners best attribute?
