1. You would've thought I was invisible. He walked right past me every day in class. One thing I did notice was every time he spoke with our other classmates it was about sports but mainly basketball. So what did I do? I started asking my brother to help me understand basketball more, and help me keep up with the stats. Once I felt confident enough, I struck- up to a conversation with my classmates about the most recent games and included the scores and anything that made me sound like I knew my stuff. He finally looked my way and began noticing me. Once the semester ended, he asked me out on a date. Our first date was a Bulls game. I didn’t tell him until 2 years later that I only got into basketball to get his attention. I ended up falling in love with it and him.

2. We used to take the same train every morning. He had to be and still is, the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen. I’ve always been the kind of girl who likes to be chased instead of chasing but things change sometimes when you come across someone you just can’t pass by. For months I was thinking of different ways to introduce myself to him without looking desperate or crazy. I didn’t even know his name so I couldn’t find him to add him on social media and hope for the best. Then one day I saw an open opportunity. It was actually an open seat on the crowded train, which was right next to him. I sat down. For a minute I was thinking of ways to start a conversation but he had on his earphones and I didn’t want to be annoying AND thirsty. Then by the grace of God, his phone died and I had a charger. I offered him my charger. He complained about Apple taking away the headphone port and I kind of just built a conversation from there with him. My stop was coming up so I airdropped him my personal cell number from my business cell and ran off of the train. I didn’t even look to see his reaction. I guess it wasn’t a bad one because he texted me that night and we haven’t stopped talking since.

3. I used to grab a coffee before work every morning when I first started at this firm downtown. We had free coffee at work but it was always burnt and nasty so I used to go to a coffee shop next door instead. I noticed their new cashier and he was FINE. He took my order and asked for my name. I replied “Single”. He laughed and asked, “What does some fancy, downtown woman want with a cashier at a coffee shop?” I said “ We all have to start somewhere.” The rest is history. I will also like to add that he’s doing really well as a real estate agent now.

4. I am a kindergarten teacher and we go on quite a few field trips (too many if you ask me). We allow parents and relatives to volunteer to chaperone. One of my most badly behaved students volunteered his hot uncle to chaperone to our apple-picking field trip. The little boy was on his best behavior because the uncle had him in check and also, the guy was just darn good with kids. When the kids went off to watch some boring demonstration, some of the other teachers and chaperones kind of trailed off (not too far but far enough to have a quick little break) while the staff at the Orchard were entertaining the kids. I caught hot uncle drinking apple cider and looking stressed. I said “I get off of work at 4, we can get some harder cider than that after.” We exchanged numbers and met at this bar in town. We’ve been seeing each other ever since.

5. I was at a stoplight and the cute guy next to me was rapping the same Kendrick verse as me. We made contact and laughed. We ended up at a second stop light together and at that point, I’m thinking “What do I have to lose?” I yelled, “Aye if you pull over to this McDonald’s parking lot, I can share the rest of my fire playlist with you!” He laughed and asked me to scoot up a little more so that he can get in the turning lane with me. We ended up in the parking lot and exchanged music and numbers. We are still bonding over music and life experiences to this very day.
