i saw u

Years before I was old enough to appreciate the brilliance of The Stranger content, I habitually turned to the back pages for the "I Saw U" section.

The "I Saw U" is this amazing personals section where people put out ads for people they saw on the street, spoke to at parties, lost numbers for or never even spoke to, but admired from afar and realized they were starstruck right then and there. They're entertaining, modernly, yet hopelessly romantic and no matter how awkward, they say something about the everyday that people often choose to ignore (probably for self preservation purposes) – a whim is nothing to shy away from!

Here are some of the ones from this week that I liked:

You Enjoy My Melodies

Cute Girl In Furniture Store

Hallava Falafel Truck Goddess

Krista. Register 12. Fred Meyer

But seriously?! How great would it be to be sought after on one of these? To have made such a great impression on someone else upon first meeting, first glance even, that they'd go to such lengths to find you knowing full-well you may never read it? Never find it? Never find them back?!! Chivalry is so not dead...yet.
