What is a meet-cute?
A meet-cute is the scene where the two romantic leads first encounter each other, staged to be memorable, whether charming, awkward, or antagonistic. It is a beloved convention of the genre because it promises the relationship at the heart of the book and sets its initial tone.
What makes a meet-cute work?
Chemistry or friction, and a hint of the tension that will drive the book. The meeting should reveal something about both characters and create a reason, willing or unwilling, for them to see each other again. The best ones plant the exact conflict the romance will later resolve.
Does the meet-cute have to be happy?
Not at all. Enemies-to-lovers thrives on a first meeting full of friction, and a disastrous or mortifying encounter is often more memorable than a smooth one. What matters is charge, not comfort: the reader should feel that something has started.
