Liu addressed her where she's at in her dating life during an interview with Cosmopolitan that wasinitially published on January 7, where she said, "Oh my god, this is, like, the first time I’ve talked about this. That’s a whole other thing that I’m not feeling right now. I have so much love in my life already, and I have so many amazing people, I just haven’t felt the need to look for more or look elsewhere. I really love myself.

"And my standards are quite high, too. But also, my schedule, especially since starting to skate again, is pretty hectic," she continued. "If I were to date someone, we’d each have to make tons of sacrifices. It’s just not worth it at this point to build something. I think when it comes, it will. I love being single, I really do. I do see myself being single for a long time. Especially right now, I choose friendships over relationships any day."

Alysa Liu, Glaive Rumors Heat Up After Bag Photo Surfaces

While this was Liu's stance less than two months ago, some of her fans are now convinced things have changed when it comes to her personal life.

This started when a selfie of Liu and 21-year-old musician Glaive (stylized as glaive) appeared on February 25.

It's no secret that these two are friends, as they follow each other on social media. However, it seems that there might be more going on after several other photos.

On February 26, Liu made an Instagram post where she was sitting in the back of a car with several USA bags around her. The post was captioned, "Car full of Olympic gear".

Glaive posted a selfie to his Instagram story on February 27. However, the seemingly brown leather bag that Liu is holding in her hand in her aforementioned post is displayed in the background of glaive's post.
