We spoke in Dude Chillin’ park last week. I’m the short haired blonde (under a toque) that was asking a lot of questions about your dog. In school to become a counsellor. We both live in the neighbourhood. Are you single? If so, wanna go for a dog walk?

It had been a doozie of a day, so when I noticed that you were mirroring my sort of something-suppressing smile — in response maybe to the whole bus environment, but I think especially to the couple standing between us, blessing us with some good ol’ PDA — we made eye contact that gave me some pleasure of my own. You’d stood out to me since the wait at the bus stop, and your gracefulness while standing, and light load, in contrast to my squished-into-a-seat, piled-with-stuff role, was an honour and delight to view. I got off at Cypress, thinking that I wished I’d had a chance to talk to you. You'd moved to take a seat further back. I’d love to intersect with you again, and I’d love to present my lighter side, communing over a cup of life. Who wouldn't? But The Straight’s giving me a chance to state it. Thank you, TGS. And thank You Whom I Saw for that experience.

Was waiting outside the gates of the train station for a friend to get off the elevator (west side exit) and we both did a triple take you seemed to be interested in what I was doing looking over the gates at the elevator around 6:45 pm

Dear B: My mom caught her car over a curb this evening in front of my building so she called BCAA and you were the one to very kindly unjam her car. I love me a big burly built-like-lumberjack kinda man. Tall, broad shoulders. Goddamn you were a handsome devil. If my mom hadn't been right there with us, I would have proudly come on to you strong flirtin'-wise. Ce la vie!

You sat in back row of the bus, in a dark blue puffy jacket, airpods, and eyes that caught mine then looked away with a smile. I sat by the stairs and smiled back. We both got off at UBC. Don't look away next time ;)

On the 7 bus today around 3 or 4pm. I was sitting in the back wearing my fluffy parka jacket, vibing to some tunes. You were right beside, wearing brown boots and writing in your notebook. You're cute, and I saw you listening to Fleetwood Mac too! We should go thrifting or get coffee sometime :)

You were there, solo. You're tall and cute and sweet and funny. The highlight of my night, even once my friend and I finally made it inside. I had cold feet! I thought I'd see you inside, I wanted to hang more, what can I say. Sorry you left!

To the captivating girl I met at the passport office on November 22nd, our conversation made the last hour of waiting feel like a breeze. I regret not mustering the courage to ask you out once my paperwork was done. I went back to where we were sitting pretending to have lost my water bottle to see if I would gain courage but didn’t. I was the guy you joked around about putting his jacket on thinking my number would be next, but I had to wait an extra 15 minutes. If you happen to read this, let's go out for coffee/dinner?

This is a way past call, reaching back to the fall of 2017. I am desperately seeking a nice looking female of around 40 at that time, who happened to become my poetry inspiration. She would leave the West Coast Express coming from the direction from Vancouver, to board the shuttle-bus 170 every working day at about 4 to 4:30pm and getting off at the bus stop 53733, Kelly Ave and Shaughnessy in Port Coquitlam. Despite of colder days coming, she was wearing nice and colourful dresses every day, looking more than awesomely. Nobody could have missed that blond, fashionable woman. That's why she caught my attention and me, being very much impressed by her look, I wrote a piece of poetry about her. She was traveling with her female friend, always taking their seat behind the bus driver, chatting and having their laughs while traveling a few stops for max of 10 minutes. In this way, I am giving it a chance to find her in this forum. I know it works. Anybody's assistance who may know that lady is highly appreciated.

You were on your way to a friend’s elopement, I was on my way to visit my brother. You were warm and friendly and easy to talk to and we had a great honest conversation about life. The ferry docked and we hugged and I thought about giving you my number but you live in a different province and there’s an age difference, so I chickened out. Now I regret not asking.
