To the distinguished gentleman I encountered at the Carmen opera tonight: You were seated toward the end of row 34, possibly in seat 140, accompanied by a group of about five individuals. Although there was a brief discussion about taking photos with me and my friend, I couldn't discern if you were married or if you were with your parents. You stand roughly 6'3, with distinguished grey hair, captivating blue eyes, dressed in a grey jacket, jeans, black sneakers, and sporting a charming light grey beret. I'd estimate your age to be between 55 and 60. We exited the theatre through the service stairs that lead to the exit on Cambie Street, and we bid farewell with a wave of our hands; there, you walked northbound.

Where: Queen Elizabeth Theater

You: guy in your mid or late twenties, 5’8-ish, medium-length brown hair, black joggers. Me: plaid jacket, long curly brown hair. I think we both checked each other out in the produce section. Lost sight of you when I went about my shopping but we ended up at the crosswalk at Broadway and Yukon together and you said hi and I said hey back. I wanted to say more but I’m shy!

When: Friday, April, 26 2024

Where: No Frills at Broadway and Alberta

We both abruptly stopped on the corner of W Hastings/Cambie near the park and seamlessly started chatting. I have long brown hair and was wearing dirty work clothes/ you were soft spoken and had a dry bag backpack. You were from out of town and staying with your brother who lived nearby, and you asked me if there was any good places to get nachos. You’re a rock climber and offered to teach me how to climb. In my fluster I *incorrectly* put my phone number into your flip phone before boarding the rapid bus. I think about you all the time, and wish I proofread before I ran off :(

I was biking/you were walking at Richards and Georgia. You looked stunning with your strawberry blonde hair and bright eyes. I asked if you wanted to grab a coffee sometime but you said you had a partner. I hope they know how lucky they are. If anything changes, hit me up :)

Where: Richards & Georgia

You sat across the bar from me. I looked up and we caught each other's eye and both smiled. You: beef dip. Trucker hat. Black t-shirt and beard and of course handsome. Me: long hair, dining alone having a quick working lunch. Drove past you again as you were walking down the parking ramp and I was driving out. We smiled again. Who are you? It feels like we are supposed to meet. Coffee?

I saw you while I was shopping with a funny designer from LA. I have bleach blond hair, you have intense eyes.

You were sitting by yourself & you ordered a few Curry Fish Balls and a few deep-fried Spring Rolls eating by yourself.. You were wearing a white t-shirt, a pair of grey sweat-pants and sunglasses. I was sitting by the window next to you and would have loved to strike a conversation and maybe take you around trying & exploring different Asian cuisine if it wasn’t for my mom and sister sitting with me at the time… lol Would love to make a friend and hangout sometimes..

We were at the counter at Coast Capital. I admired your wonderful hair, and asked if you had a friend to help you with it. I want to hear your sweet voice. I want to hear you sing. I want to hold you and be held by you. I want to wake up next to you in the morning.

I am not only impressed by your physical beauty, style and vibe girl.... your way of speaking directly, honestly and concisely indicates high intelligence and that for me is also a major turn on. I owe you $20. You should know that I am a better painter than musician. I want to sketch and paint you, you guessed it, reclined nude. i also wrote you a song after you told me your name tonight, there is another one too. two songs! $20 And... I am a fucking deadly good dancer..... Electric Daisy???
