RUSH-HOUR CRUSH
It’s going to take more than Covid to see off love (and lust) – as shown by these messages from commuter cupids. Are they talking about you?
To the The Shy Girl Dressed Up Waiting At The Bus Stop (Crush, Wed). I noticed you noticing me when I pulled up to the bus stop.
I had no time to say or do much apart from smile. I couldn’t get your number or anything but we can definitely go for drinks. Meet at the same Hackney Central bus stop at 4pm on Saturday?
Driver Of The No.277 Bus
Hello, I would like to share a story and I want to know if you can help me find a person. We had love at first sight but didn’t have a chance to get in touch. On Wednesday last week I was commuting back home and standing on a Bakerloo line train, soon to change for the Piccadilly line at Piccadilly Circus, the next station. As I was looking through the window, I had eye contact with a girl in a dark-green jacket, a dark-coloured shirt and blue trousers. The train stopped, I got off to change lines and as I walked down the stairs, I saw her again and we looked at each other. Our paths split but as she got on the train, I turned around and she was looking at me – and for a second she took her mask off. In that moment, I saw the most beautiful smile ever. The doors closed, we waved at each other and the train departed, which left me with a big regret. But hey, if you are out there, please reach out!
White Shirt, Blue Trousers, Blue Tie
To the beautiful brunette wearing a mint-green top and a dark-green leather skirt on the eastbound Metropolitan line train at Watford at about 3.45pm on Thursday. I sat diagonally opposite to you. How about a date? Rob, via email
To the thin blond guy dressed in jeans, wearing a skull necklace and carrying his suitcase. You got off at Finchley Road station last Tuesday night at about 10pm. I woke up with your smile on my mind.
Black Girl In Long Black Dress And Caramel Boots
You had a cute rabbit on your water bottle and were wearing a purpleand red-checked shirt and black jeans. This was Bristol, jumping on to the No.90 bus at East Street at 8.42am. Our eyes met across the empty bus and I wanted to approach you but, in these unprecedented times of recovery, I felt it would have been a faux pas.
Man With Too Many Metros
To the Nantwich fella in the Barrowboy & Banker pub on Borough High Street for his son’s stag do a week ago Saturday. We chatted about your home town as you’d watched the Crewe versus Charlton match until we were swept away by our respective parties. Fancy continuing our chat?
Brunette In Floral Dress
To the gorgeous woman with large earrings on the northbound Victoria line who got off at Warren Street a week ago Friday evening. I felt like we couldn’t take our eyes off each other – that is until you got off and we went out separate ways.
Man In A Pink Jumper, Black Jeans, Short Beard
