Other than Alex's hesitation, there was another (and more serious) bump in the road. She was actually in another relationship when Mikee expressed interest in her but told Piolo that if that relationship ends up not working out, she'll be sure to give Mikee a chance. (After all, she thought Mikee was cute; Piolo showed her a picture of Mikee and she approved!).
Four months later, Alex and Mikee touched base for the first time. This time, it was Alex who made the move and of all the things she could have done, she called Mikee to introduce herself! She got his number from Piolo, called, and when he picked up, introduced herself as the girl he wanted to meet. She also gave him important instructions: if he was serious about wanting to meet her, then he'd have to find a way.
Well, Mikee followed them to a tee. He accompanied Piolo to an "ASAP" episode, but Alex was unfortunately too busy to actually have a conversation with him. The most they did was see each other. Later on, he texted to apologize that nothing more than that had happened but if she was up for hanging out again another time, he was too.
Some time after their first date. she came clean with Mikee. It wasn't that she didn't like him (she saw that they got along perfectly as friends), but she had just gotten out of that other relationship and wished to focus on her career and herself first. She got a frigid reply from her suitor, even, and thought that that would be the end of it.
The next few conversations they had were just as cold. Until the Alex that we know today—always teasing and joking around—called him out for sounding so distant and formal to break the ice. Apparently, that was all he needed, and unknown to Alex, it would be her antics that would hit the reset button for them and allow the beginning of their relationship to finally unfold.
In interviews where Alex is asked about Mikee, Alex often opens up about how Mikee has truly felt like the one meant for her. Unlike past boyfriends, he doesn't add to her stress, he doesn't distract her from work, and he enriches the existing relationships in her life, including that with God.
