"My advice to a hopeless romantic is to get off your phone. I've always believed love was very analog, and I would find the love of my life walking down the street, having coffee, looking up somewhere. But also, you gotta take chances. You can't just sit back and wait for the person to come to you."
"I thought he was asleep. Four o'clock in the morning, I thought he was asleep and I said, 'I think I love you and you're about to change my life'. And we've been together almost 19 years."
Colman Domingo shared personal insights about love and romance during a Wall Street Journal interview conducted ahead of his roles in the Michael Jackson biopic and Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day. Domingo recounted how he met his husband Raúl at a Walgreens entrance in Berkeley, California, where they locked eyes but didn't speak. Three days later, both independently posted 'Missed Connections' ads on Craigslist seeking each other. They met for their first date and spent the night cuddling, with Domingo confessing his love at 4 a.m. The couple has remained together for nearly 19 years. When asked for advice for hopeless romantics, Domingo emphasized the importance of disconnecting from technology, believing love is fundamentally analog, and actively taking chances rather than passively waiting for romance to arrive.
