Online dating might not scream "romance" - especially on Grindr - but that's where this love story began. Christopher messaged YuHao (twice, because persistence is key), and on the second attempt, YuHao skipped the small talk and set a date. They met on December 13, 2018, when YuHao sprinted up, gave Christopher a big hug, and stepped on his feet - love hurts, apparently. They've talked every day since. The early years were a blur of Covid and grad school, but they’re nowmaking up for lost time by racking up passport stamps and snack-based memories around the world.
