Don’t you just love a fairytale love story? Anyone who has the smallest inkling of how to be romantic has a soft spot for an improbable or unlikely love story.
Patrick Moberg, A 21 year old guy from New york, saw Camille Hayton on the subway and thought she looked a real cutie. He really wanted to talk to her but couln’t get up the nerve to start a conversation. Just as he managed to screw up his couorage she jumped up and plunged off the train into the crowd of commuters. And she disappeared from site. A romance that was never to be.
But Patrick decided that he couldn’t leave things at that. he just had to meet her. So he had a freind make a drawing of her together with him and he posted it on a web site called nygirlofmydreams.com. Now you’d really think that the chances that this girl would come across this picture are pretty remote. That’s the stuff fairy tales are mad of. Not real life. But guess what? Yep, she saw it, made contact and agreed to go out on a date.
Isn’t that a fairy tale love story?
But here’s some points to consider:
- Don’t let opportunity pass you by. Patrick was very lucky (amazingly lucky, let’s face it) that the girl of his dreams actually saw the picture he posted on the web. He had the opportunity to talk to her on the train and he didn’t grasp it. It could all have ended so differently.
- But having missed an initial opportunity, don’t just give up. follow through and who knows where it will get you. Just look at Patrick.
Romance is everywhere. Even on a crowded subway. Part of knowing how to be romantic is recognising those opportunities for romance and grasping them.
