In a thrilling story out of your subway ride to work, a hot person is looking at you. This look was preceded by you unabashedly staring at them first, but still.
“Normally I’m on my phone on the train, but the Reddit post I clicked on didn’t load before I lost service again, so I had to people watch instead,” you said. “And then my eyes zeroed in on them. Because they were obviously the hottest person on the train. Then they looked up from their book and looked at me. It was, like, fate!”
Bystanders report the hot person’s gaze was more “confused” and “indifferent” than lovestruck and “definitely because you were staring at them first,” but they’re probably just jealous.
Their gaze caught yours from across the crowded aisle – maybe out of palpable sexual tension or maybe because you were looking at them for a full 15 seconds before and they were wondering if you knew each other or something.
Sources confirm you immediately projected all your ideals of a perfect partner onto this hot person.
“That short gaze was all I needed to envision the future we would have. A whirlwind romance filled with Meg Ryan-worthy outfits,” you said. “Moving into their beautiful, inexplicably affordable one-bedroom brownstone apartment they have in Greenwich Village. Traveling the world together because we both obviously agree there’s too much to see before settling down and raising kids.”
The hot person could not be reached for a comment because at the next stop, they left, and you took too long envisioning your future together to actually talk to them.
“Some love just isn’t meant to be. Sometimes strangers can share a beautiful moment together and then go on with their lives. Like ‘Before Sunrise.’ And maybe our paths will meet again.”
