I met “Chris” when he was in Anchorage for work. We met on a dating app, and to be honest, I wasn’t looking for anything more than some company for the evening. In fact, when I saw he didn’t live here, it was almost a bonus – no messy complications. So imagine my surprise when what I expected would be a casual, no-strings-attached evening was so much more. Chris and I connected on every level. The chemistry was intense, almost magical. We talked about so many personal, deep topics, well into the night. And he ended up staying over, and we spent the entire next day together up until he had to leave for the airport agreeing we wanted to stay in touch.
