The Color Purple star gushed about seeing the screenwriter for the primary time within the mid-2000s whereas strolling previous a Walgreens in Cali:
“I’m walking in and I see someone walking out. Has beautiful hair down to here, lip piercing, beautiful, beautiful. I see this guy and we look at each other, and I’m like ‘Oh my god.’ I’m on the phone and I come outside and we look at each other and he’s talking to this young woman and she seems to be angry about something.”
He mentioned they continued to make eye contact as they handed by each other, however finally the good-looking stranger turned the one which bought away. As Colman made his approach right into a Blockbuster, he checked his watch and noticed it was “8:03” and debated about coming again to attempt to discover the thriller man:
“I thought, maybe I’ll come back next Sunday and he’ll be here. I’m that kind of hopeless romantic.”
Of course, this was approach earlier than Tinder or any kind of on-line relationship, so it might be a LOT tougher for the pair to run into one another once more. They couldn’t simply attempt to stalk one another’s Instagrams, so that they needed to depend on destiny — and destiny delivered:
“Cut to three days later, I’m trying to buy a used computer and I was just scanning Craigslist, so I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll post one of those missed connections ad, I wonder if they work.’ I go to page two of them, as I’m reading I see, ‘Saw you outside of Walgreens…Berkeley.’ He placed an ad for me two hours before.”
OMG!
The story ends in a fortunately ever after for the ages. Colman discovered his mysterious stranger, Raúl, and after only one evening of cuddling, the remainder was historical past:
“So we met up, three days later we had our first date. I was trying to be a good boy and go home. He said, ‘Can you stay over?’ I said, ‘Sure but let’s just cuddle,’ We cuddled, I thought he was sleep. 4 o’clock in the morning, I said, ‘I think I love you, and you’re about to change my life.’ And we’ve been together almost 19 years now.”
