I’m on the case.

u/BklynBongshell Aug 31 '26

I'm a shy / anxious person and I totally fumbled the interaction while my friend laughed at me.

He said I'm gorgeous and he liked my outfit for the day.

I hope he finds this post too.

His name was Ron!

u/Aatlatlatla Aug 31 '26

Shoutout to Ron. Took a photo with my girlfriend and completely forgot to get it. He ran out and chased us a few blocks to give it.

34

u/BklynBongshell Aug 31 '26

The more I learn about Ron the more I want to date him.

16

u/BigPimpinAllat Sep 01 '26

Yo I was right behind yall! He was a legend for that

u/Aatlatlatla Sep 01 '26

Lol hi not so random stranger

u/Doriestories Sep 01 '26

I asked him if anyone calls him Ronald and he was like, ‘no, no, but it's ok if you do.’😆

13

u/GrindageOG Aug 31 '26

Indeed and he was very nice about the poses!

u/Thelaziestmaniac Aug 31 '26

Oh! I’m rooting for you! Hope he sees this and hits you up.

u/Doriestories Sep 01 '26

Thank you! And im glad that I could share his name. I talked to everyone working outside and inside and they were all so nice. I hope that OP and Ron can reunite and make some photo booth pictures together

Finding love in r/bodega

This is truly a notorious event

u/Doriestories Sep 01 '26

A real meet cute

26

u/hermitcraber Sep 01 '26

Girl I hate to say this but I was about to post asking if anyone else got hit on a ton by the photo booth guy too. I kinda dodged cause I date girls but I think he was flirting with a lot of the women that came through. Could still be a genuine connection just be cautious!

24

u/BklynBongshell Sep 01 '26

He's most likely a single man who has the freedom to do whatever he wants. He doesn't owe me anything.

If he reads this post and wants to hit me up, cool.

If nothing comes from it than we all had a laugh & fun here.

u/misspiggie Sep 03 '26

If it makes you feel better he was friendly and complimented my tattoos but definitely did not ask if I was single. Rooting for you and Ron!

u/berrycantstop Here for Cat 🐱 Sep 05 '26

yeah he straight up kept telling me my eyes are pretty and i needed to come back again (i was there first thing saturday morning lol)

u/FruitAlert6182 Aug 31 '26

This is so bold but real.

u/FunkedUpFallacy Sep 01 '26

Y’all looking for connections, I’m just looking for that r/bodega tote. I got the magnet and I do not identify with what it says 😭😭😭

u/berrycantstop Here for Cat 🐱 Sep 05 '26

u/FunkedUpFallacy Sep 05 '26

“People are the best” 😭😭😭

u/npete Sep 01 '26

Haha, I am a straight guy and I thought he was a nice dude and pretty dang handsome.

u/FortheredditLOLz Aug 31 '26

Shout out to Ron!

14

u/Bitter-Pea-8323 Aug 31 '26

I think we all know the event producers are stalking this subreddit. Help a girl out!!

12

u/BklynBongshell Aug 31 '26

Is there a manager from the event reading this that can forward this thread to Ron viva email?

13

u/Bitter-Pea-8323 Aug 31 '26

I promise you they’ve probably already seen this. I’m an event producer and I stalk the hell out of the subreddits for my events. If I worked at Reddit I’m sure I would be even worse.

We just need to get this post more traction so they can’t miss it

TIL: in addition to boss-level event planning and creating immaculate vibes at mod events, u/big-slay runs a side hustle as a matchmaker.

Ron is about to clean up after this event; it sounds like he was the belle of the ball! I would love to see an update about how r/bodega resulted in an r/wedding

u/hermitcraber Sep 01 '26

Yeah I think he was flirting with a lot of women he was laying it on thick in our conversation as well unfortunately

11

u/BklynBongshell Sep 01 '26

Ron can be Mr. Right Now or Mr. Right.

Won't know until a connection is made.

He's also a free agent who can do as he wants.
