Well, you could start by introducing the main characters and showing what makes them unique. Then, have them meet in an unexpected place or situation that sets the stage for their love story to unfold. Another way is to start with a problem or challenge one of them is facing and how the other might come into the picture to help.
Just begin with a charming encounter. Maybe two people bump into each other in a cute way and feel that spark.
I think a good start for a short love story is to create a moment of tension or mystery between the characters. For example, have them exchange a glance across a crowded room and wonder about each other. Or start with a shared interest or hobby that brings them together initially.
