Coffee shop-missed connection

  • Well all other MSE'rs, many many thanks for your guidance, got 20 replies and quite a few views so far, just imagine i could get this on local news or TV at this rate lol

    ok to clarify a few points
    I would normally never dream of going to sit to a table with a female sitting there on her tod but somehow this felt quite natural, the conversation felt like this too and when i was given an introduction at the end i thought
    hmmm interesting, as mentioned my jetlag from the sameday clouded my thought process hence unable to recall her name.
    Now a few more facts
    She has been abroad working as teacher for past 5 years
    Will work next few months in summer school teaching English(i know the city too )
    She had distinctive glasses(black frames)

    A search of FB under the town has not been of use, this is a genuine search i may add,certainly not intended to freak anyone out, if she came to me and said "sorry nowt doing" i would move on and forget but i just need to see what transpires next time.

    If i leave it to fate then unlikely we meet again, an ad will have only my number and only limited detail, any proposed text for the ad is appreciated.

    Again thanks for the help

    Phone the coffee shop and ask them to pass on a message if they see her?

    Why not make up a 'meme' i think theyre called and get your friends to share it, and their friends to share it, sometimes these things go viral - post it on local fb pages to her.
    People like a love story so would share I reckon!
    Or does her town have a local phone in radio show you could go on?

    Or woo them with a romantic story and see if they'll have a little postcard sized notice on their till in case she goes in again. There will have to be something in it for them so perhaps a story to the local rag naming the coffee shop if it all works out and a good story to talk to the customers about if it doesn't!

    No idea but if it was me, I would think it was nice and not stalkerish at all. Providing it was a more public thing. I may well be wrong but I wouldn't think someone who rang in a radio show or something was likely to kill me after meeting again as it would be too obvious? (Or would it... Dun dun Dunn)

    What about a YouTube video?
  • omg thats another brill idea lol
    now that would take some guts!!
    give me a pointer how to present it then lol

    thats better than radio i think and may go viral hehehe
    i may just get to meet her again...
