The meeting of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

The year was 2004 when Neil and David met. Neil recalled:

“I’ve never had any kind of long-term relationship. I remember thinking that the rest of my life would be solo. I wasn’t weepy when I thought that-it was just a realization that I had gone this long being self-sufficient.”

David at that time was in a long-distance relationship but it was not any good. The meeting of the couple was in New York through a mutual friend. There was an immediate attraction.

Neil knew about David’s relationship and did not want to miss it. So he and David started a platonic relationship.
