A year ago, I would have said a big NO, but now I believe it’s possible. I’m a 20-year-old bisexual male studying engineering in India. It all started with using Grindr, a gay dating app, in April 2018. I connected with a guy near me, and after sharing pictures without faces for privacy, we decided to meet. The chemistry was intense, and what started as a hookup turned into something more.

Despite my initial reluctance, we continued to meet secretly, exploring abandoned places, making out in public spots, and enjoying the benefits of being a gay couple. Over 14 months, our relationship deepened, and we fell in love. Though we’ve faced ups and downs, I’ve never felt happier. We’ve met each other’s families without them suspecting our true relationship.

Now, in June 2023, we’re still together, and I can’t imagine a better partner. We plan to eventually come out to those close to us, but for now, we’re savoring the joy of our secret love story.Is it a good idea?
