People On Twitter Shared Their Sweetest ‘Meet Cute’ Stories And They’ll Make You Believe In Love At First Sight
Everyone loves a good meet cute, but we usually see them in the movies — you know, like the two lovers who meet by accidentally running into each other in a crowded airport and apologize profusely when the impact knocks everything out of their hands. Things like that can’t happen in real life, right?
