Winter Meet Cute Prompts
A meet cute is a fictional scene, typically in film or television, in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing.
A) Muse A reluctantly braves the cold weather to head to the local supermarket on a snowy day; Muse B is salting the sidewalk as Muse A walks by and feels pretty bad when Muse A slips on a patch of black ice they missed.
B) Muse A is down on their luck after getting some bad news while at the winter festival. Muse B is a vendor at the festival who takes pity on Muse A after overhearing their situation and offers Muse A a delicious treat on the house.
C) Muse A has never been skiing before but is determined to try it, especially since everyone else in their friend group has already gone. Muse B is the ski lift operator who has to rescue Muse A after they freak out and refuse to get off the lift.
D) Muse A is an aspiring figure skater who likes to practice skating at their local outdoor rink. Muse B is an avid hockey player and likes to practice at the same rink. Neither muse likes to share.
E) Muse A comes from a warmer climate and has never seen snow before, so imagine their delight exiting the airport to their first snow fall. Muse B is completely over the freezing temps and digging their car out, but can’t help noticing how in awe Muse A is when it begins to snow. They strike up a conversation about it while waiting for a rideshare.
F) Muse A spends hours each day building elaborate snow/ice sculptures in the park. Each night, a disenchanted Muse B destroys them on their walk home. One night, Muse A camps out to catch Muse B and confront them.
G) Muse A accepts a dare from a friend to run through the snow at a ski lodge in their underwear, only to find that they're locked out when they return to their cabin. Muse B is the friendly staff member who rescues them from the cold and makes it their duty to help keep them warm.
H) Muse A gets stuck on the side of the road during a blizzard; Muse B has snow tires and tries to pull their vehicle out of the snow. When they make no progress, Muse B offers to drive Muse A to their destination.
I) Muse A and Muse B are neighbors who have never met. When a winter storm knocks out the power to their building, Muse A, terrified of the dark, lets out a bloodcurdling scream. Next thing they know, Muse B is banging on the door to make sure they're okay.
J) Muse A's car breaks down on a deserted stretch of road in the middle of snow storm. There's no cell service, so they decide to trek to the gas station they'd seen a few miles back to try and get help. Muse B is driving by when they see Muse A struggling against the elements and offers to help.
K) Muse A is doing their best to keep their child entertained as they wait in line at a bakery for a winter-themed birthday cake. The little one slips free from Muse A’s grasp and runs up to Muse B ahead of them in line to ask if they want to attend their party. To Muse A’s surprise, Muse B says they’re available.
L) Muse A has been feeling burned out by work and life responsibilities ever since the winter season started. They decide to take the advice of a friend and take the day off, heading to the woods for a serene nature hike. Well into the woods, Muse A gets scared after thinking they hear a wild animal approaching so they scramble up a tree. Muse B, also seeking a break, emerges from the brush and spots Muse A up in the tree, curious what they’re doing up there and more importantly how they expect to get down without help.
