To the beautiful young lady with glasses on the number 80 a couple weeks back, the one in the military green jacket: We exchanged silent nervous glasses and I regret not introducing myself. Maybe it was on account of a mutual timidness or perhaps I was awe-struck by your soft features. Whatever the case I'm putting all my eggs in the basket of serendipity and hoping our paths may cross again. However, if they don't, I'll remember those brief moments of eye contact fondly and I wish you a beautiful life as perfect strangers.

That's what I wish I said. you were so sweet, you chatted with me, took my photo at Dal O Week and I froze. You made me laugh. You were so kind and cute, but I froze. I don't even remember your name, just that your hand tattoo said Love. I wish I didn't freeze up. Thanks for the photo, are you single?
—Frozen without you

I spoke to you briefly. You were absolutely gorgeous. Your mismatched bikini had a black top and striped bottoms. I was absolutely gaga and you were even more beautiful with how sweet you were with your daughter. I didn't see a wedding or engagement band...I assumed you are single?

Hello to the guy with the Banff hat, green backpack and flamingo shirt. You have a very nice smile and laugh and style. I hope you had a good weekend.
—Good start to my morning

To the guy who was shirtless with camo shorts: You truly are a heartthrob! Sorry if I made it awkward as I shyly smiled and our eyes met as I was going by, and if from a distance I was checking you out. Your good mood and all things hunky made me smile bashfully. Make sure you use sunblock—studs shouldn't get burned.

This is for the rockin' gal I met climbing the cliffs at Blomidon this past Sunday looking for amethyst. You were the gem of the day. Regret not exchanging a little more info. Keep on rockin'

I stopped to help you with routine maintenance on your Dad's Subaru. Hope I was of some use and brightened your day in the midst of a family health crisis. Sorry to introduce myself twice. I was absolutely gaga and couldn't think straight. Hope I didn't seem like a blithering idiot! Hope your loved one makes a complete recovery. Wanted to give you a hug and regret I didn't!

Flying home from Toronto on Wednesday night. You were a friendly Caper with a warm smile and I was a little more afraid of flying than I thought. Our conversation on travel and books was just what I needed. Thanks for being a friendly distraction. If you see this, you know my first name and I bet you could find me with enough Facebook creeping. I, however, was not successful in finding you.

You: Super handsome person in a purple windbreaker, rushing off the bus.
Me: Denim on denim cutie with red lipstick, rushing on the bus. 

It was nice to share a smile with you, and I'm sorry I maybe stumbled when we made eye contact—my knees got a ’lil weak. I hope you read The Coast and this makes you feel good. —Flustered and Flirty

I don't ever do things like this, but here it goes: dear cute guy with long hair, we made eye contact in a north end coffee shop when I walked in this morning, and again when you were buying a date square. I was going to approach you and ask you to have coffee with me, but you left in a red truck before I could ask. Something about our eye contact today makes me want to meet you, so I hope that our paths cross again someday. —Fan Of Nice Eye Contact With Strangers
