: a cute, charming, or amusing first encounter between romantic partners (as in a movie) The more we told people the story of how we met, the more we were made aware of a term that somehow had never landed in either of our lexicons. What's so cute about it? I mean, what's so cute about meeting a single mom because her 5 year-old son has wandered over to watch you and your friend, Shane playing Finnish waltzes on a bench in McGolrick Park? What's so unusual about realizing "that's her!" a week later as she checks her texts while sitting all alone at single table a few feet from where you and Shane are having a beer? And then inviting her over for what starts as drinks and lively conversation, and then (a little later) a motorcycle trip to the mountains replete with an awkward declaration of love, and then (later still) meeting her 8 year-old as he clambers all over your parked Suzuki? I mean... Ok. We met, and it was a little cute. There's a term for that?
