True Story
A girl is sitting in an internet cafe on a quiet Chicago street. While checking her e-mail, she happens to glance up from the computer screen and notices a boy sitting a few computers down. At the same time, the boy also glances up and their eyes meet in one of those moments that seems to last forever and a whole conversation takes place without ever having spoken a word. They continue to look at each other, neither one certain what to do next. Then suddenly, as if they had said too much, the boy gets up from his computer and walks out of the cafe with only a brief glance back over his shoulder.
A few weeks later, the girl is reading the personal adds in the back of her local urban paper...think The Village Voice or The Chronicle...when she notices a small pice in the "Shot in the Dark" section. It read as follows:
You, the cute girl at the internet cafe. Me, the guy too shy to say any thing. We made eye contact for a moment, but that was all it took.
The girl knew it was for her but she hesitated to call the answering service that the paper sets up. What if she were wrong? But then, what if she were right? She waited a couple of days and then called, leaving a brief message. A few days passed and she heard nothing. A couple of weeks later, still no response.
Fast-forward a few weeks later. Same girl in the same internet cafe. In walks the same boy. After a brief moment of anger she decides to walk up to him and talk.
I know that it was you, the add in the paper. And I don't know what you are trying to prove but it took a lot for me to call you and for you to not respond was cruel.
You called? I never got the message, I swear! The paper's answering service never told me that someone called.
They both smiled, and laughed and left the cafe together.
Their wedding is in a couple of months!
