In film and television, a meet cute is a scene in which the two people who will form a future romantic couple meet for the first time, typically under unusual, humorous, or cute circumstances.

Growing up I watched so many Rom-Coms and never saw a 'meet cute' that I felt represented me. A meet cute where one of the pair looks like me and he talks to the boy. A meet cute that was a bit clumsy, awkward, wholesome and made your heart melt...

So here is the meet cute that I wished I had seen growing up. One to fan the fire of die hard romantics who need it. One to echo a moment before apps existed. A moment that still happens now. A moment that can happen if you let it...

Even if you fumble and/or tumble... take the leap.
