Goal Lines & First Times: Special Edition

COHEN

Surprisingly, it seems that making out with my best friend in high school could actually be considered gay. Who would have thought? It appears that everyone else knew except for me. Now that it has been brought to my attention, I can't stop replaying it in my mind over and over again. Goodbye Denial Town, hello Confusionville.

As I find myself navigating the world of gay dating apps, I don't anticipate meeting someone I truly click with. But then I come across him. He couldn't be more different from me. He's intelligent, he dislikes hockey, and he identifies as demi—something entirely new to me.

Despite our differences, there's an undeniable connection that I'm eager to explore in person. If only I could convince him to give it a chance.

SETH

Throughout my life, I've always felt like something was missing. Tired of constantly being questioned about my sexuality by ex-girlfriends, friends, and even my own parents, I decide to join a gay dating app to make a statement.

I never expected to find what I've been searching for all along—a genuine connection. However, I'm hesitant to take the next step and meet him face to face. He's a hockey player, and I'm afraid that when he learns that my twin brother plays in the NHL, I'll once again be overshadowed by my more accomplished sibling.

Even more daunting is the possibility that when we finally meet, the connection we've built online won't translate in person. When I express my doubts and fears to him, he's understanding yet disappointed. Fate, on the other hand, has a different plan in store.

Little did I know that the person I've been falling for is someone from my past.
