![]() A woman's note looking for the man she met on the bus |
A young woman’s open confession that she had a crush on a man who “lent” her his shoulder while riding the bus together is garnering keen attention from netizens.
At a bus stop she posted a handwritten note with her email address in an effort to locate him and it was photographed and has spread quickly on the Internet and Twitter since Thursday.
In the note, she wrote, “I am looking for ’busnam. (nam mans man) He sat in the second window seat from the back on the No. 2000 bus on Oct. 16, 2010, Saturday at Seoul Station, wearing a blue hooded shirt. He opened the window for me and even lent me his shoulder. I cannot sleep because of you!”
She also left her email address and asked the person to email her.
Someone took a photo of the handwritten message and posted it on Twitter. Tweeters retweeted the message and it spread throughout the social network service rapidly. Most people cheered the woman and hoped for her to find the man.
A similar case happened on the Internet two years ago.
A man wrote about a woman he met and fell in love with while bike riding and a woman also posted on an online community about her search for the man who helped her inflate her tire.
People who saw the two postings helped the two connect and they announced their marriage last week.
Netizens said the bus couple would also find each other, expecting another moving story like the bicycle couple.
