A man shared his meet-cute with a handsome wordsmith he met at a restaurant days before Christmas.
If you’ve never heard of the term meet-cute, you’ve likely seen it in action. The meet-cute has been around forever and is a staple in nearly every rom-com you can think of, from classics like When Harry Met Sally and Love Jones to the 2022 rom-com named after the meet-cute starring Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson.
Although the meet-cute isn’t anything new, it’s worth mentioning when it happens to someone in real life. On Dec. 23, 2023, an X user named Yammi (@sighyam) became the main character in his own adorable LGBTQ+ story.

As the conversation continued, Yammi’s future beau further proved he had what the kids call Rizz. After being in awe of how much the post had grown within the last day, Yammi’s crush admitted he felt the same with a text that could’ve easily fit into a rom-com script.
“It’s quite brave to share your profile with the guy who’s crushing on you, though,” the man texted Yammi, adding, “A bravery that eclipses my own nervous note passing.”
After posting screenshots from their texts, Yammi confirmed he and his meet-cute man had scheduled their first date.

On Christmas Day, Yammi posted a photo of his dog and said he was opening gifts with his dog before heading out to meet his date.
