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.”

He took his drone

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
Image credits: jerm_cohen
“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.”
Image credits: jerm_cohen
Jeremy told his friends that everything is going great
Image credits: jerm_cohen
“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.”
Part two

“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”

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!
Beans 5 years ago
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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
