Meet Cute Missed Connection—Midsummer Festival of the Arts, 7-18
I’m not sure if posting a missed connection is okay here, or maybe cringe. But I suppose I have nothing to lose by trying!
Anyways, I’m not even sure if you are single, but let’s set the scene:
We were sitting at the same table in the kids arts and crafts tent at The Kohler Arts Center, helping our respective sons with mosaics (glue and loads of pebbles lol). I was wearing a blue and white dress, you were in a t-shirt and shorts. A volunteer came by with the “kids choice” cards for voting on a favorite artist, saying “you and your brother can fill one out” to vote!
We looked at each other and laughed, you handed a card to me for my son, saying “Here you go, honey/dear!” (I’m sorry I’m unsure which but I *do* think it was dear). I laughed, and we continued our kiddos’ art projects in earnest.
I regret not trying to make some conversation: I know I was shy. I took my time having my son and I clean up our work area hoping to muster up some courage. Upon me leaving, you apologized for saying dear/calling me that, and I laughed and said it was cute!
And then we walked away and I’m kicking myself for not being braver.
So, I’m posting this on some whim that our meet-cute was a missed connection, and if not, I can say it was a pleasure to be fellow artist assistants, dear!
