I DM’d Adore Delano and gave him a cute and flirtatious compliment: that I saw where he got the name ‘Adore’ from and that he was adorable outside of drag and beautiful in drag.
He responded to my messages, commenting on how sweet I was and that I was pretty cute too. We chatted for a while over a couple of weeks and I found myself looking more and more forward to receiving his messages. We discovered we had a lot of mutual interests, including comedy and improvisation, and I found him irresistibly funny.
He mentioned he would be in the NY area during an upcoming weekend for an event, and I asked him out on a date for lunch and a bike ride in Astoria Park. He agreed and we both admitted we had a crush on each other.
Upon meeting him, I felt a jolt in my chest and my body as my heart lit up. It felt like it was love at first site. If I was unsure of my sexual attraction toward him before this point, it was finally clear to me that I pined for this man.
