Marriage
Love met Kurt Cobain on January 12, 1990, in Portland, Oregon’s Satyricon club before fame hit, when the two singers still led underground rock bands. Love made advances afterwards, but Cobain was evasive. Early in their courtship Cobain broke off dates and ignored Love’s advances because he wasn’t sure he wanted to consummate their relationship. Cobain noted, "I was determined to be a bachelor for a few months [...] But I knew that I liked Courtney so much right away that it was a really hard struggle to stay away from her for so many months."
Love lived a block away from the Los Angeles apartment complex where the band resided during the recording of their second album, Nevermind. Love would stop by often, later saying, "We bonded over pharmaceuticals." They would meet up again in May 1991 at a Butthole Surfers concert. In November 1991, when Love and Nirvana both happened to be touring Europe at the same time, they became a couple.
