Meest romantische Instagramaccount
Ik sta dan misschien wel niet bekend als de romantische van de redactie, ik sta wel bekend als de Instagramverslaafde. En soms is min maal plus toch plus (ehm, ik sta ook niet bekend als wiskundig genie) en dan krijg je dus de situatie waar ik nu in zit. Namelijk, dat ik tot over m’n oren verliefd ben op een megazoetsappig account op Instagram.
Het heet “The Way We Met” en wat je krijgt is foto’s van verliefde stellen met daaronder het verhaal over hun ontmoeting. Super corny ik weet het, maar toch maar toch, ik smúl ervan. Er staan nu 40 foto’s en verhalen online en réken maar dat ik ze allemaal gelezen heb. Mag ik u even mijn favorieten presenteren?
“AJ pulled up next to me at a red light and waved at me and I smiled back. The light turned green and we met at the next red light where he motioned me to roll down my window. We had just enough time to introduce ourselves before the light turned green again. He looked back and said “I’m going to see you again,” and drove away. We didn’t get a chance to exchange numbers. A week later I was at a local deli with friends, and little did I know, he worked there. We reintroduced ourselves, and as I was about to leave, I wrote my number on a napkin. When I went to hand it to him, he already had his number ready to give to me too. It’s been a green light ever since.”
“I was in New York to visit my friend Brad for a guys’ weekend. Brad was at work when my flight got in, so he left keys for me with his neighbor (and close friend) Deeva. I called Deeva in the cab on the way from Laguardia, and she told me to wait for her at a coffee shop to hand off the keys. When I arrived at the coffee shop, Deeva, overwhelmed by the picture of masculine perfection before her, parked herself in the chair across from me. Neither of us stood up for 3 hours. I was floored by my own good fortune and the radiant beauty of my would-be key-courier. Needless to say, I never did make it to Brad’s apartment that weekend.”
“I met my boyfriend Jake because he somehow showed up on my dad’s “people you may know” list on Facebook. My dad claims he accidentally clicked the add friend button (and blames his “fat fingers.”) Two days later I get a message from a super hunky Jake that says, “Hey so I don’t think we’ve ever met, but your dad added me on Facebook?” I was just a little embarrassed, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise! Jake asked me on a date shortly after that and now we’re in love and have a cute little red-headed son! Happily ever after the end.”
“I was walking with my friends on Rodeo Drive and he was modeling in the Yves Saint Laurent Store. I saw him and asked my friend for a piece of paper and wrote down my name and phone number. I walked inside and said Hi (I didn’t speak English at the time, I only knew how to say hi and bye) and gave him the paper. He texted me the same day saying “Hello, It’s Austin, the guy from the store.” I didn’t know how to answer because I couldn’t write it! Google translate helped me A LOT. I asked him on a date the next day and we went for ice cream and talked like Indians. One month into dating, I told him I was leaving for Spain and if he wanted something serious with me, he needed to meet my parents. And he did… he traveled to Spain to meet my family. 2 years later here we are, married.”
