About love in the rain
Identity: Cisgender gay man
Region: Barnaul
I met a guy on a dating app. We quickly agreed to meet, and our spot was Jubilee Park in this city. At that moment, there were hardly any people around. We walked, talked, and laughed. He told me about himself, and I shared my story too. Then, suddenly, a heavy rain started pouring down. And there was no one else left in the park—just us.
We decided to take shelter under a tree and wait out the rain. It was so romantic. We were soaked, our clothes completely drenched. And in that moment, we confessed our love to each other. We kissed. To this day, I remember that moment as if it had just happened. Soon, it will be three years since we’ve been together.
