I’m not sure where you came from, or why you chose me out of the crowd, but thank you for that. Me, the intoxicated 35-year-old. You, the sweet, sober 21. They are, clearly, only numbers.
It truly was lovely to meet you and hope to run into you again. What a lucky boy, that “one you love.”
I have no idea how to find you, so a thank you here—with the hopes that you’ll find it—seemed best. —Loves a Chance Encounter

wow. Creepy. So you got hammered, hit on someone almost half your age and she politely tried to tell you to fuck off by saying “she’s in love” (I use that one all the time, btw)
i’m sort of sick that women are expected to be polite to dudes that do this sort of shit but unfortunately we are.
Eats crayons Re read the Love She was the older drunk he was the younger sober man that hit on her.
I was at a pub lastnight.It was kinda funny (ironic) that a 25 year old hit on me(he contunually wanted to buy me beer and food),then a 50 year old man hit on me.I thought the older man was very nice and good looking.I am a 46 year old woman. bought my own beer then left alone to walk home.
I’ll take ‘the rapists’ for 20
Why would you automatically jump to the sinister when someone is trying to show appreciation to a stranger? And how interesting that you so easily assume the gender of the subjects.
I feel sorry for such negative people.
miss muso I did assume the gender of the two but after rereading the comment it does make more sense they are an older man and adult yet younger woman.Still it sounds romantic yet kind of heart breaking to a romantic at hear such as myself ,an older woman who was never romanced.
Why WOULDN’T you jump to the sinister?
I need not your sorrow.
I’ve plenty of mine own.
