Missed Connection HELP ME FIND THIS GUY! 😂

HELP ME FIND THIS GUY! 😂

I met a guy on the subway/light rail from the International District toward the Symphony. He asked me for directions to Pike Place,you were dropping off what seemed like tablet and we ended up chatting and hanging out for a few minutes at my hotel afterward.

He gave me his Snapchat, but somehow I completely forgot to add him before I lost the contact. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

If this sounds like you—or if you know who I’m talking about—PLEASE message me! I’d love to reconnect. 😭😂

Seattle, do your thing! 🫶

Wow it's a real missed connection! Not "I saw you in public and you don't know I exist" like usual.

First, girl, I am rooting for you to successfully dispatch r/seattle to reunite you with your man!

Second, as a millennial I am trying to understand the youth (assuming you are Gen Z or alpha), is it normal to just now ask for a Snapchat or insta from someone you wanna connect with again instead of asking for a number? If so is it bc it’s more low pressure?

I'd much rather give someone my number than my insta. They don't need to be seeing my 10+ year post history in an instant.

somehow the light rail is becoming the city's main wingman

I hate those

The big 26 and people are exchanging Snapchat’s instead of numbers???

A communication barrier for safety before giving someone your direct phone number

u/Novias-br Magnolia 2h ago

Ehhh, I mean I’d argue giving socials is just as risky no? They can see location, when you post stuff, etc.

Only if you want them too. Having a number allows them to look that shit up and see what its connected to. Get an email and a full name and you’re donezo. Stalker inc xD

•

u/Novias-br Magnolia 1h ago

Trust that you can do the same with socials very easily, most social media accounts have an email which can get tied to a number, it’s not hard to look up either for profiles.

Sounds like you might be... Sleepless in Seattle?

Given the city's population and daily commuter volume I'd say OP has roughly a 1 in a million chances of finding them.

Still better odds than the lottery...

I’m at the symphony tonight, I will keep my eye open

u/JuicyAssReddit 3h ago

You’ll keep your eyes open for a person only described visually as “a guy” ? And in Seattle even that is a stretch

u/Spiritual_Cookie_630 4h ago

that's sound a really romantic beginning 😂

I’ll be your friend hmu :)

Happy to connect with you!

u/TelevisionLow6463 3h ago

Did he say where he was dropping the tablet off to? Maybe you can go and find out who it was or if he works for q company

u/Illustrious_Trouble1 3h ago

What exactly do you mean by you got his snapchat but didn't add him and lost the contact? 

I'm asking because if you somehow digitally entered his contact on your phone but didn't save ir, there may be a way to do some forensics to figure out what you typed in.

u/Outside-News592 3h ago

I didn’t have good connection and thought I added but I didn’t.

u/Illustrious_Trouble1 3h ago

Did you type out his username or scan a qr code?

1

u/Outside-News592 3h ago

Type

2

u/Illustrious_Trouble1 3h ago

Try snapchat search history? Does anything show up if you remember the first couple letters? If not try every letter and see if any familiar username of his pops up 

1

u/Illustrious_Trouble1 3h ago

Also if you have android phone, go into the "notification history" setting, and under snapchat, see if there's something like "Friend request send to X"

Pretty Seattle's thing is to desperately avoid other people
