Hey Asian gaybros and gaybros of colour, how's life treating you?

How is your life going?

Life is going great. I'm mostly "focusing" on school at the moment. However, I'm thinking about taking a break to pursue other interests. I'm academic, but after all these years you kinda get bored.

Do you have a boyfriend/husband and how did you meet them?

Okay so I met him on an app. We chatted for a few days, but my impressions of him could be summarized as 'meh, he's alright'. The guy seemed really quiet and shy. Our conversations were almost always me telling a joke and him saying lol. I'd later learn that he's just a lousy texter and not shy. This went on for a few days before either me or him asked to go on a date. I wasn't too excited to meet him, so I never committed to a specific date. I just told him that it would be sometime soon. A few days later, after i retuned home from an appointment, I was feeling kinda bored so I hit him up to see if he wanted to go on that date. He jumped at the opportunity and we were to meet in the Eaton Centre (mall in downtown Toronto) in less than 45 minutes. I get to the mall just on time and he isn't there yet. I figure his train is delayed or something. I text him and he says that he's running a bit behind time. That's cool, I wasn't upset. I'm usually late for things too. Didn't hold it against him at all. I'd later learn that this bitch lied to me when he said he was late. He actually got there before me. But he was so nervous to meet me that he just stood from afar, watching me for 15 minutes. Apparently he had much stronger feeling towards me than I did to him at that time. When I learned this I was kinda flattered that my presence could make people nervous like that (I'm nothing special) Anyways he texts me 15 minutes after I arrive to tell me that he's here and he'll meet me at the theatre directly across the street from the Eaton Centre at the corner of Yonge and Dundas. Now anyone from Toronto knows that the intersection of Yonge and Dundas is always always always busy. There's easily at least 100+ people in the intersection at any point during the day time. Anyways, as I'm walking to the corner of this busy intersection I see this [really] tall black shadowy figure walking to the right of me. I glance over, glance back, think for a second... This black shadowy figure looks vaguely familiar to me. I glance back again and it's him. I say hey to him and he realizes who it is and we laugh about the situation. After that we had a short but really awkward conversation about something (I don't remember what) as we walked across the street. We didn't click instantly and neither of us knew to talk about. Awkward... We get to the theatre, he pays for my ticket and we go watch the movie Not very much happened during the movie. We watched Gravity; the movie was boring as hell. I remember being ridiculously nervous to glance at my date and I was dying to hold onto his hand. He'd later tell me that I was squirming like a little child from my nervousness (not cute...). After the movie we sat and chatted in the empty, dark theatre for at least 45 minutes. Mostly just small talk to get to know each other. During this conversation, my date's friend texts him frantically because he got into a fist fight with his boyfriend. Part of me was thinking, 'Is that the kind of people my date hangs out with?', but I decided not to judge him for it. Not too long after that I could start feeling the butterflies in my stomach. After the 45 minutes, while leave the theatre, the urge to kiss him was overwhelming. I pushed him against the wall (not violently) and landed two kisses on him. It was wonderful
