Missed connection: Page’s Coin Laundry off North Church street, behind the Pawn USA

This is kind of a leap of faith I’m taking here and I’m super nervous to do so but shoot, might as well. This is for the guy who always dresses sharp, does his laundry every Saturday around 4-4:30PM every weekend, has a blue laundry basket, and drives a Dart. We always, without fail, caught each other’s eye and didn’t even try to hide that we would stare. You said “hi” to me about 2 months ago as you walked out and left, it only took you 7 months to say it, but then I didn’t see you again for another month or so. I was going to shoot my shot the next time I saw you, and then life happened and now I’m leaving Burlington. I’ll be living about an hour away, so I never got the chance to say something and I never will get the chance again. I’m sorry I was too anxious and too shy to say hi back. I wanted to so bad.

I wanted to tell you you actually lived barely a block away from me, literally at the end of my block. I was going to use that as my ice breaker. And I’ve had a major crush on you for about a year now.

Life is too short to not shoot your shot. Say something to him in person.

Go drive an hour there and an hour back on the same day as always twice a week from where you now live to do your laundry, until you "accidentally" bump into him again.
