A Guy From Brooklyn Sees A Girl Dancing On A Roof, Sends Her A Drone With His Number On It
Almost all of us have been quarantined for the past couple of weeks. For single people, it’s a real date stopper. Well, this guy found a perfect solution for that.
Jeremy Cohen noticed a girl dancing on the roof of a building next to his own house in Brooklyn. When she saw him, he waved and she waved back. Jeremy then sent a drone her way and that’s how this romantic story started. Bored Panda asked what inspired this romantic gesture, Jeremy told us: “I actually haven’t been on a date in at least a year. I think I was just craving some social interaction, and being confined by the walls of my apartment inspired some creativity for me.”

Jeremy told us what’s it been like for him the in quarantine: “I’m all cooped up in my apartment alone, so its definitely different than my normal life of being out and about all the time (there’s so much to do in NYC!) For now, I’m taking it day by day.” Well, thankfully he found something to occupy his mind during these hard times.

“I looked out my window and saw this girl dancing, perhaps to a TikTok song? I needed to say ‘Hi’ to her.”

He waved at her and she waved back

“So I waved to her on my balcony and she waved back.”

Attached a piece of paper to it

“I grabbed my tape, pen, drone, and paper. Then I wrote down my digits and sealed them on my drone. Flirting is normally daunting for me, but since I’ve been quarantined in my apartment for a week now, I was screaming for social interaction.”
With his number and “text me” written on it

He sent it out

Tori was really surprised

“2020 has been off to a terrible start, but I still needed to shoot my shot. She picked up my drone and I guess it worked because I got a text from her an hour later.”

And after a few moments texted him!

The next day, Jeremy decided to ask her out. However, Tori wondered how that would work

“I still can’t believe this happened the other day. Now it’s time for part two. I asked her out for dinner, but she said ‘How?'”
30 minutes before the date, Jeremy and Tori’s roommate organized the whole thing

“I sneakily coordinated with her roommate earlier to set it up.”
Jeremy sat in his balcony and Tori on the roof, following the rules of social distancing

“5 PM hits. It was time for our date. Wait, where is she? Just kidding. We follow the rules. I waved down at the balcony, she waved back.”
Since Jeremy’s a professional photographer, he took some pictures of her

He still wanted to be a gentleman

“I told her she looked beautiful. So we got on FaceTime and ate our matching organic, microwaved single dinners together.”

Jeremy told his friends that everything is going great

“The date was going so well and depending on how long this quarantine lasts, I might be in a long-distance relationship with someone who lives across the street from me. I excused myself to the bathroom. Of course, I didn’t have to go, I just wanted to tell my group chat how well this was going.”
We asked Jeremy how’s it going with Tory now, he said: “So far so good, we had our first date two days ago which went super well. Going on our second date soon. Its a little strange with all the pressure of everyone watching compared to a normal date, but I think I can handle it!”
We will be waiting for part 3 of this romantic quarantine adventure!
“I think it’s time to take his relationship to the next level.” When asked what are his plans for part 3, all he could say was: ” I don’t think anyone is going to expect it, even Tori. Its a surprise for her just like the last date.”

The video went viral on TikTok, so we asked how did this sudden fame affect Jeremy’s life: “In a positive way! It makes me feel good to know people are rooting for me, but more importantly, it gives something for people to believe in during these strange and dark times. If this story brings joy to people, then It brings joy to me.”

“I don’t think I would of been capable of doing any of this without my mom, Eva Grayzel, who taught me the power of storytelling. She’s a motivational speaker, storyteller and stage 4 cancer survivor. Without her, I don’t think I would have my optimistic outlook on life to do things like this in times like this”

Share on FacebookThis is awesome! They both seem like very sweet people, and this just goes to prove that quarantine can't stop you from shooting your shot.

Single girl fighting them back too! Romance is not dead! Yay! There's hope for me yet!

Load More Replies...People are going to kill me, but it looks just too damn well coordinated to not be a pre-written thing. I know he's a photographer, but seriously...
I said the exact same thing! I just don't believe it. They already know each other.. but cute fake story
Load More Replies...This definitely isn’t real... how did he get in contact with her roommate If he just met the girl? And where you getting flowers during quarantine
It's sweet, but I would feel weird if I were the woman...it would feel like he was doing it for content not out of genuine interest to get to know me. But who knows, best of luck to them!
Yes, I agree, I mean it's cute but.... in the back of y mind I thought.... not even in quarantine can a girl not get hit on all the time??? lol. Even when you think you're dancing by yourself like a dork, a guy somehow finds a way. But I mean, if it's real more power to them and hopefully they are a great match.
Load More Replies...Wow. Any woman, will be lucky to have you! I think Tori, is starting out right! You are wonderful! Thank your mom for her momma skills! And send my congratulations on surviving stage 4 cancer. May she have a long and wonderful life from here on out!

Load More Replies...HELLO EVERYONE I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the past 8 months and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first month , I had faith in God that I would be healed someday.This disease started to circulate all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, a few weeks ago I came on search on the internet if I could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (Hepatitis B and Cancer) by this Man DR WONDERS and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so I wrote to DR WONDERS telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later I started experiencing changes all over me as the DR assured me that I have cured, after 2 weeks i went to my do
I think it’s a beautiful opportunity for both , I wish them the Best and I pray that they can be on the same page in life .
THIS MADE ME SMILE! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. AND, I PRAY THAT YOUR NEW FOUND FRIEND GO FUTHER WITH THIS QUARENTINESHIP EVEN AFTER THIS VIRUS IS OVER!
So I'm confused. Did he like already know her roommate? Or maybe he just knew someone in her building? Or like did she give her roommates contact info to this guy she barely knew? How was the guy able to coordinate with her roommate to set up the date
Fate seems to lend a hand to this story-they look like they’re made for each other-very uplifting and sweet story for these trying times-can’t wait to see next step
Cute, but how did he get the roommates details to make it a surprise.......
This is a cute story, and I really don't mean to be cynical, but I just don't believe this. I think that these two people already knew each other or were already dating. How did he know she had a roomate, and how did he get a hold of her? Again, cute story, I just don't believe it.....
but if she touched the drone and either one of them had the virus it would have been passed. They might as well seen each other in person. but its still better than a cheap line in a bar. LOL
I wish them well! If they can find a connection in this crazy, messed-up time, more power to them!
Just let us have our moment of “ what if’s” Here’s 🍷hoping it is. Oh and lose the hat.
How exactly did he "coordinate with her roommate" from a different building? Did he already know roommate? Fly his drone to the door first? Call the building (assuming there's a desk or doorman) and ask? It's the one part that doesn't really add up.
How original is this? I see a relationship in the making. This should be a scene from a love movie.
what a wonderful sweet story. I hope that they will be at least friends for a lifetime.
Def isn’t real, if you just met the girl how do you have her roommates contact info and where CV the hell you getting fresh flowers and matching TV dinners during a quarantine and then getting them to said roommate? But I did enjoy the story
Where I live every store still has flowers, and you can still go to the store and ask girls for their roommates contact info. I get the skepticism but your reasoning isn’t solid.

No one can stop them even covid! So lovely 🥰🥰🥰 hope it will work out!
Not much the romantic type, but this story relly made me smile :)
So fantastic! I wish them the best. It looks like they're off to a good start and seem like adventurous ppl taking a chance, 🙌
Love it! I want to see all the follow ups please! This is so cool! I wish them the very best!
People are saying it's fake. Do I really care? I'll probably never meet any of the people involved, and I enjoyed the story. Frankly, I enjoyed the story and that's good enough for me, since I didn't find any cute puppies or gorillas to watch. When I watch a movie, I don't feel compelled to announce to all that those are just actors on the screen.
Some people get sick of the constant, contrived s**t that's pushed constantly.
Load More Replies...My first thought was oh what a load of rubbish, I'm aromantic so nothing appeals to me normally but it's actually a really beautiful story. In these uncertain times this is just something sweet and cheering. Whatever the final outcome it's a beautiful and fun story during this terrible scary period 😊
I find this cringy and it feels more "look at me and how creative and romantic I am!" than genuine ... You don't need to broadcast everything.
I call this the need to socialize. While introverts like me are just playing pc games (i got plenty), hearing music and enjoying the beautiful silence of the streets. And if i go out for food, i got nobody offering me a quick f**k stating that denying them will means that i'm racists. I have yet to find a white guy that behaves like a dork with me on Santo Domingo.
He had coronavirus. When she touched his letter he got it too. Two more NYC milennials down.
1. She was dancing in the open, in the day time. 2. He waved to her. 3. She waved back. 4. He sent her a message, with his contact info. 5. He never hid, he never made any moves he wasn't transparent about. 6. It's only creepy if that's all your looking for. Are there stalkers/peeping toms/rapists/etc, of course there are. Not all looking is assault. Not all flirting leads to rape. Making a compliment to a women does not alone make you a creep. Lighten up Karen, let these two young people enjoy themselves, having fun, making mistakes, living life.
