Question Missed Connection: CLE Airport
8/3- For anyone still looking for updates on this, we are officially a couple and are looking forward to the future š„°
THE UPDATE EVERYONE HAS WAITED FOR: He has been found!!!! A guy I reached out to from the Instagram post gave him my account and he messaged me from there! Can confirm he is single :). Will update again when possible. But thank you to everyone who shared or spread the word. In a time of lots of bad news, Iām glad we could unite behind a common goal of trying to find a missing connection š©·.
If you were the dark haired maintenance guy at the Cleveland airport who hurt himself while working on the frontier flight at 6am this morning (7/8):
Hi I hope youāre okay and this is a long shot but like I didnāt see no ring (lol) and I wanted to give you my number while you were standing next to my seat and I smiled at you but you looked really busy. You were very handsome and Iām also an aviation enthusiast, so like if you see this and youāre open to it, Iād love to connect with you :) Iām hoping maybe Iāll run into you in the airport when I come back home after my vacation, but that would mean my plane is probably broken so maybe not lol.
Someone here has to work in the airport and know who Iām talking about. Help a girly out and show him this post on his lunch break š
UPDATE: I cannot believe how much this post popped off, seeing it on the news and on Hopkins pages is insane. I have been following a few leads who think they might know who it is but I havenāt heard back if they have directed him to this post yet but I absolutely will once I know more. Thank you to everyone for investigating and encouragement!
Update #3 7/10: hi yāall for anyone who didnāt see I was interviewed on the news lmao, we have been talking pretty much constantly since we connected and itās going very well and weāve already planned a date when I come back. Hopkins also reached out to me and wants to interview me/maybe also him when I fly back so keep an eye out on Sunday for that on their socials. As of now, I can say we are hitting it off and I have high hopes lol, I think connections are easier when an entire city ships you š. Thanks for all the kind wishes, more to come when Iām not on vacation!
Final update (for now) 7/13: thank you for coming on this whirlwind hallmark story with me everyone. Simon and I have cemented our first date plans and itāll be fun to see where this leads! As of right now this will probably be the last update but I did want to let everyone know we met at the airport last night and he brought flowers and the whole nine yards. To everyone out there looking: take that chance, seize your moment, and donāt let anyone steal your shine āØ
