As part of my
new year’s resolutions I decided to try to find a man who will buy me flowers. (Reminder again my favorites are Hydrangea) While flowers aren’t necessarily a grand gesture, there is something about buying flowers that shows a man’s real character. I thought it might sound a little desperate to add to my resolution list “Find a man who knows how to pull off a grand gesture”!
In the same vein as grand gestures, the “
Missed Connections” section of Craigslist has amazed me for years. People who have impromptu run-ins with beautiful women and handsome men share their encounters in hopes of finding their love from the L train, post office, coffee shop or Wollman Rink. And if these passerby stories weren’t cute enough, there is an entire site of illustrations of these tales.
Sophie Blackall says, “Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I’m trying to pin a few of them down.”
Maybe I should start shouting out the cuties I see everyday in this crazy city!
