Meet my love: Starbucks! I know what you are thinking, “what kind of name is Starbucks if he does not have whip cream or some sort of syrup on him or at least come in a cup?” Actually it started just over a year ago, when we met in a Starbucks on the Upper East Side. Since it was winter and really close to the family’s house I work at, it surely became my destination Starbucks. He was an employee there and the first thing he said to me when I approached the counter was “you have a pretty smile.” I did not think anything of it except that this is the friendliest Starbucks I had ever been in and this guy is pretty cute too. So after me going in there for about month straight (and not just for him, but he was cute making my caramel macchiatos), Starbucks asked me for my number and we decided to go on a date. Our first date was to the movies in Times Square to see The Woman in Black and almost a year to the date later, here we are.
Yes, he does have a real name and no I do not call him by it. Even when we go out with my friends and I have to introduce him, he is introduced as Starbucks. Starbucks was born and raised and still is living in the Bronx, so going to see him is not so bad. He loves basketball, the Xbox I got him for a Christmas present and of course me! I consider him to be an influential person on my NYC voyage because I cannot imagine what my life would be like here without him.

I really enjoyed reading this Natalie. I think too often especially New York City women are jaded to the fact that there are a lot of ways to meet guys rather than the traditional. And, I think that is what is great about NYC is the fact that there is so many places to make connections with people. We are constantly rushing and moving but, if we are all just slow down and stop to maybe talk to some of the fascinating people here in NYC, I think a lot more connections can be made! Wish you the best with Starbucks! He sounds like an awesome guy! :D
