Not A Date

Not a Date is a slow-burn queer romance about confidence, confusion, and the kind of connection that sneaks up on you.

When flirty, fearless college student Alex strikes up a conversation with quiet, straight-laced Dean at the mall, he's not expecting much. Especially after Dean insists he's "not into guys." But when Dean gives him his number anyway, a chaotic friendship begins to bloom. One built on late-night calls, awkward truths, and a whole lot of mixed signals.

Dean doesn't know what he wants. Alex usually does. But as their "not-dates" start to feel a little too much like the real thing, both boys are forced to confront what it means to want more, and what it takes to go after it.

Smart, funny, and surprisingly tender, Not a Date is about figuring out who you are, who you love, and how to show up when it matters most.
