Call Me

As seen in Brooklyn Heights....



Now, this could either be incredibly romantic, or incredibly sad. Maybe they said goodbye on this corner, and he doesn't have a cell phone with caller ID, so this was his hope--she'd round the corner they stood on together, think of him fondly, see his note, and realize what a romantic he is.

Or maybe there was a reason she didn't give him her number.

Man, he's going to some lengths to find me. But I already told him... I'm married!

I'd like to think the guy is genuine, but it would have been nice for a little bit more of an apology. Where's the romance in his note? It reads like an office memo. Perhaps there should be a phantom romantic note fixer upper out there, who goes around re-writing them?
- Susan, I'm desperately searching for your number, have spent countless hours trying, but no luck. Please call me again, you mean the world to me. N -
(might be too desperate there, but it's a start)

Before the ladies swoon over this guy, Susan should note that N. is neither determined or a problem solver.

What's the matter with him? He doesn't have a phone book? Has he learned nothing from The Terminator? The Terminator found his mark with the white pages, and he didn't even have Google back then.

And before you go and say "when I type Susan into google I get 139,000,000 hits," think about this: this guy has nothing else to go one but a first name? No approximation of address, no last name, nothing? Come on, Sherlock! Hunt her down, man! If she's not worth 139,000,000 clicks of your time, you don't deserve her.

Derrick, I'm with you. Mostly I was kidding about how romantic it actually was. Dude clearly can't put in much effort.
