Picture this: a plane flying from Malta to Belgrade, and a guy from Serbia spots a girl who immediately catches his eye. He didn’t say a word to her, didn’t even say ‘hi’, but now he’s decided to find her online! Yes, you read that right — love at first sight in the 21st century is being hunted on Reddit!
The guy described the girl as calm, with brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a brown shirt and shorts, Nike sneakers, sitting somewhere in the middle of the plane. He didn’t know if she was with a boyfriend or just a friend, so he didn’t want to be rude. But he spent the whole flight thinking about her, and now he hopes the internet community will help him find her.
Of course, his post sparked a flood of comments. Some believed in fate and love, others mocked him, saying public appeals like this are weird. “Why should all of Serbia hunt down some girl who might not even be interested?” one Reddit user asked.
Others advised him to have the courage next time and approach her directly instead of relying on the internet. “Be a man, write a note, ask for her number, but don’t wait for someone else to solve it for you!” they said.
This story went viral across the Balkans, dividing people between romantics and skeptics. Is this proof that love really doesn’t choose time or place, or just another internet fad that will be forgotten soon?
If you’ve ever been in a similar situation, you know how frustrating it is not to have the courage to approach. But hey, maybe it’s time we all learn not to wait for fate to serve love on a silver platter, but to go after it ourselves — whether on a plane or on Reddit.
What about you? Would you search for your love online or approach her right away? Or maybe you have a funny love-at-first-sight story? Drop a comment, let’s laugh together!
