Holy Hotness. To the Chinese guy with the moves like buttah and smile that made my heart melt at the Party Boots Show: I owe you a beer. Thanks for killing the dance floor and burning that guy who thought he knew how to do a proper Russian step! Hopefully I run into you at Jazzfest! All I wanna do is hustle. Mhmmm, xo —1 step forward, 2 steps back

Tonight, June 30, you sat down next to me at the Dartmouth Bridge Terminal. You were wearing a bandana and had an amazing smile. We chatted a bit and I gave you a cigarette instead of you rolling a smoke. I was going to ask you your name and for your phone number and just take a risk, but I chickened out. Silly me. What was the worse thing that could happen? I wish I would have just done it. Now I'll probably never have that opportunity again. —Awkward shy girl

Thanks for the late night chats after Mellotones show last Thursday. Would have stayed out later to go on an adventure but AM work and adulting responsibilities got in the way. Owe you a dance and a possible drink. See you on the D floor black dressed to impress. —CD

I recently dined at the Five Fisherman restaurant and OMG have you seen the doorman?! You mister, are nothing short of beautiful. Tall, dark and handsome with a smile that made me melt...I wanted to ask you for your number but I was on a date. I live an hour away, but next time I'm in Halifax, I'll be looking for you ;) —Smitten kitten

This year has been hard, full of loss and tragedy. As I write this, I am lying in my bed recovering from a surgery, lonely and feeling a bit bleak. I miss you, our life. I am sorry for the way I left. But I am not sorry I left. These last few months have been some of the most challenging months of my life, and whether I have "grown" because of them has yet to be determined. But I certainly have come to appreciate how constant change is, how precarious and interconnected our lives really are. And it's nice to know just how little I really know. —Growing Up Grown Up

I saw you (in your grey and burgundy sweater) as I (in my denim jacket) slumped down the sidewalk on a foggy June evening on North Street. We caught one another doing double (and then triple) takes and it took everything I had not to call out or double over giggling. You're the kind of handsome that makes me nervous. —Shy girl in the skull shirt

Me: volunteer.
You: doctor(?). I miss saying hello to you every Thursday when you got coffee. I wish I had gotten your name and hope you're doing well. —Redhead in a Red Vest

We waited for what seemed like an eternity in the Boomers line last night and I had every opportunity to try and charm you, but I failed. It's not every night that you find yourself standing next to the perfect mix of sexy-cute. I should have said more, should have tried harder and been more inquisitive, but I didn't want to come on too strong.

But then we ran into each other inside. Weeeellll more like I had a goofy little dance off with your friend (which btw, I think a rematch is in order). You weren't dancing much at that point, but then Straight Outta Compton filled the air and there it was:

The prettiest girl in the room and quite possibly the city - the girl you picture taking home to your parents or sitting in front of a fireplace in some expensive chalet in Switzerland - is also a beast on the dance floor! The hair's flying, the sea foam heels are side stepping - THIS GIRL'S GOT SWAG! I couldn't help just stop and think to myself "Where did this girl come from?!"

Until next time Boomers Blue Dress Bombshell. —Party Shirt Pickle

I see you every morning at the Starbucks in the north end. You have short dark hair, are always dressed impeccably and drive a little green Mini. I think you are as cute as they come, but it's the way you carry yourself with such confidence that makes you so beautiful. One of these mornings I'll work up the courage to say hello. —Mr. Americano

Was having a not-so-nice day on Saturday...until I got on the number 20 heading towards Herring Cove. You got on after me and sat down close enough that I noticed the interesting magazine you were reading. Then I noticed what you were wearing: red beret, long tan coat, tights with sparkles, kick ass shoes and your short mauve hair was perfect to finish it all off. You made me feel better because that is what I aspire to become—kind and considerate and a “don't give a f*ck” attitude to what others think=you go girl. —Feeling a Bit Better Due to Your Fashion Sense
