I was aboard AOTS a week before Thanksgiving! This reminded me of my own missed connection story. Wishing you all the best for this!

I had a meet-cute experience on Anthem of the Seas last November 12-19, 2023. We met on the last night of the cruise at the Music Hall, where we spent the entire night talking, laughing, and dancing during The Amazing Iconic Band's set until DJ April's midnight party set. All thanks to that bar stool that blocked my path that's why we started talking. He moved it out of the way for me. I had him at "Excuse me." And then we just started talking. My plan to just stay for a few minutes turned into hours. He was wearing a black hoodie, and I was wearing an off-shoulder white dress. We hung out by the bar stool, shared some stories and laughters even if it was so hard to talk over loud music. i remember the way he laughed and blushed when I told him he looked like a certain Marvel character. After such a great evening, sadly we didn't get to exchange contact details. I thought about slipping him my contact details, but I admit I held back cos I thought he might not be interested to stay in touch. And I was kinda hoping he'd ask for mine, but since he didn't, I thought what I thought. Looking back, I wish I just slipped him my contacts. That way, I wouldn't be having these endless what-ifs. eitherway, he'd still be a part of my fond memories on that trip. I just thought it'd be really nice to reconnect with him, if the circumstances will allow it. His name is Jon (or John?), he's from Rhode Island. He's in his late 20s and works in software at a travel agency. He's in his late 20s and works in software at a travel agency. To Jon, There are probably countless of "Jon" or "John" where you're from, but if ever you get to see this, and if you remember someone named "Lis" and you identify with this story, then chances are, you're the "JON" I'm looking for. I had a great time with you, even if it was just for one night - our last night on the cruise ship at that. Months have passed and I can only hope you still remember me. I admit you've left quite an impression, which has pushed me to share this. It's probably a one-in-a-million chance as we also live oceans apart and we're back to our own realities, but if ever this finds you and we're on the same page, that's great! I'd be happy to reconnect and see where this connection could possibly go. If not, then for what it's worth, at least I'm happy we've met and that our paths have crossed somehow. I've been going over my photo and video album of that trip recently (cos I'm sorting them) and it just made me extra nostalgic.
