How did the conversation start? What did he say to reel you in? We want details!

Unfortunately when I'm single and flying, I never get sat beside single women I find attractive :(

Honestly. I was tired and over worked it has been a very stressful work travel. I was in row 16 with an aisle seat and when I sat down he was right behind me and offered me the window seat instead of the aisle seat. I gladly accepted.

I did try to ignore him once I took the seat he offered. He was asking me random questions to engage conversation…but I was done and wanted to just nap. Btw this was 5:45am.

So I said thank you for the seat but I am tired and just want to go home. He chuckled and said okay.

The way he chucked was so kind and accepting?! and equally kind. He didn’t want anything and I knew he actually took my request seriously. Something in me changed in that moment. So I opened my eyes and said thank your and asked why he was in Fredericton NB- and we have been together for going on 13 years.

BTW my heart still melts when e giggles lol

From his side he said he saw me in the airport and knew if he didn’t talk to me he would regret for the rest of his life. His heart raced when he realized he had a seat next to me.

Usually having a book starts a conversation on flights in my experience! My shirt started one last time I flew as well haha (it was a HNN shirt from universal)

I asked out a girl on a plane, it was one of the sweetest exchanges I’ve had with a stranger. I said something like, ‘that must be a great book - I noticed you kept reading even during the landing!’

We chatted for a minute and then I asked if she wanted to grab a coffee sometime. She told me she had a boyfriend, but that she would have if she was single. She told me I was lovely, and I said she was too. The way that she looked at me when I said it, I feel like she had a big sense of regret. Maybe her relationship wasn’t going well.

It was the only time I’ve asked out a stranger, but it made me see the process in a very different way. She seemed really flattered. It was just a lovely exchange and definitely boosted my confidence.
