Walking the dogs just now I came across this sign posted on a light post on the street next to mine. As I read it, my eyes teared up a bit and I did the whole “clutch my hand to my heart and saw ‘awwwwww’ really loud” thing. I even said to the dogs “OMG, isn’t this is the most romantic thing EVER!!??” They responded by peeing on the light post. Typical dude behavior.
But it makes me feel hopeful– about love and life and people in general. This kind of public declaration of adoration and desperate search for “the one that got away” is the kind of stuff you think only happens in the movies. Well, here’s the proof that it doesn’t- and that makes me smile from ear to ear like a total idiot. To be found so enchanting that someone posts signs on your street in order to see you again? Are any of you NOT swooning right now? And if you ARE a dude- take note! This is the knee-buckling kind of romance that makes girls lose their MINDS.
Katie, whoever you are, I hope you see this, and I hope you call him. Know that things like this don’t happen all the time and that there aren’t a bevy of men out there who would do something as sweet and romantic as this. And girl, if you don’t call him, I’m gonna bet about 100 Boston women reading this blog will. Including married ones (ahem!). :)
i’m such a hopeless romantic. this is the best thing i’ve heard today! call him katie. now!!
This is absolutely adorable! There really aren’t a lot of guys who would go to the trouble of posting signs everywhere…hope she calls him!
OMGeeeeeee, this is so adorable! I want to know what happens to them!!!
Awww..It’s like that John Cusack movie…Serendipity! LOVE that. Thanks for sharing this.
How cute! She must have made one hell of a first impression!

Awwww- love it! I even like the font he used on the poster!!!
Um, yes. Can I pretend to be Katie?
For Sam I would go by Katie instead of Kate. a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e!
This is indeed sooooo romantic! So cute!

UH…maybe you shoulda blacked out the ACTUAL phone number…LOL. Sam may not approve of a bunch of decor loving ladies giving him booty calls….ah Romance.
AWWW!!!!!!!!! There’s a man really putting it out there for a woman. I hope Katie gets the message!
when i saw this i forwarded it to 2 of my friends who both said the same thing… this is absolutely adorable if the guy is a prince charming lookalike…. on the flip side, he could turn out to be some creepy, weirdo stalker. ha, cynics! i prefer to look at it through my romance colored glasses.
bummer. can’t see the pic…
Awww is right! (Hopefully he’s not a crazy). I really wonder if she’s going to call him.
You think that this guy is so wonderful, and so to repay him you post his phone number on the Internet???
This guy is going to hate you.
And, because his voice mail will be full from all the crank callers, Katie’s call won’t get through to him.
So Katie will hate you, too.
Sean-
I think it’s pretty rude to leave the kind of comments you just left considering this person posted their number all over a public street. However, I did just block it out.
reminds me of the movie “Serendipity”…. so sweet… and Sean… LIGHTEN up !
Erin, something just occurred to me…think about the neighborhood that we live in. It’s possible that “Sam” is actually a woman! :-)
Which, BTW, does not make this any LESS romantic.
If Katie doesn’t call him I have a list of friends that will!!
Sorry to hurt your feelings, Erin. If it were me, I would have wanted someone to point out to me the consequences of my actions on other people, so that’s why I posted. To each his or her own, I guess.
so cute!!!
Isnt there a whole website or section of craigslist for this called missed connections? I wonder if anyone ever connects.
I hope they get married!! That would be the best story EVER. Totally Loving this : )

I love it extra because I used to live on Orchard Street! Cuteness. I wish I knew Katie and could tell her.
SO cute & romantic. Ohhh if only……
Aw, I’d marry this guy immediately.
I’m swooning!
wow. that’s straight out of a movie. possibly on lifetime, but a movie nonetheless!
Wow! This is the serial killer stalker, and if Katie was interested she would of stuck around.
This is so refreshing – jus when you think all the good ones are gone, Sam restores your faith in men :)
So cute!!
Sean, clearly this guy would appreciate any help getting his number to Katie. Rudeness…
SWOON!
How romantic. I hope that Katie felt a connection to Sam as well! I love it!
A friend just sent along the engagement story of a mutual friend:
http://joecoffeeblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-joe-engagement.html
He saw her in a coffee shop, they made eyes. He left. And then turned on his heels to ask her to brunch!
(And my own lovely husband to be did something similar. We met at a party. He tracked down my number through mutual friends and asked me out!)
Thank you Alrats!!! Jesus people, this is not normal behavior…and like Alrats said, if it were mutual this Katie would have found Sam instead of leaving.
But judging by ALL the frakking comments, it may possibly pay to be a stalker – I will have to look into this…
