77. You Meet Through Your Job

Alexander Zverev:

You were a lifeguard at the beach, on duty when this tall blonde guy came over in an attempt to flirt with you. You tried to ignore him or focus on your job, but he kept giving you one-liners that you couldn't help but laugh at or be flattered by. When you jokingly told him to go away, not really wanting him to actually leave, he instead gave you his number and walked away. Despite the fact that he was keeping you good company while you were on the job, you were still glad that you got his phone number out of it. Now it was up to you to make a move and text him or call him.

Alex de Minaur:

You were a photographer for the tournament, snapping pictures of the players during matches. For this specific week, you were taking photos at the Brisbane International for Davis Cup. You would make your way around the arena, taking photos of the Nick Kyrgios vs Jan-Lennard Struff match. What you didn't know was that Alex was watching you from afar, crushing on you hardcore and trying to build up the nerve to introduce himself to you. When his friends noticed that he was constantly looking for you in the crowd, a time when you were crouched near their bench, they called you over and introduced Alex for him. He was a little nervous and a little awkward, though you still gave him your number before returning to the job.

Benoit Paire:

There was a little girl named Anette that you taught in your first-grade class, who turned out to be quite the trouble maker. You didn't want to get her in trouble, considering you never know what kids go home to, but it was getting to the point where you needed to speak to an adult in her family. When you called in the girl's father, you couldn't help but notice that he spent the whole parent-teacher conference flirting with you and trying to get to know you. Many weeks after that, you noticed him coming into the classroom more to pick his daughter up, or coming along to the assemblies and school events just to come up and talk to you. You knew that it wasn't right to start a relationship with a parent, though maybe in time you could get to know the handsome parent that was trying so hard to get to know you.

Borna Coric:

When you catered at tournament parties, most of the time you just liked to keep your head down and stick to your work, not making too much conversation and just carry on your day. Though, at this one particular party, you didn't notice that a certain tennis player had taken up an interest in you. You started to notice him more when he kept coming up to you and took appetisers from the plate you were carrying around, though you found it even more strange when he started to make casual conversation with you every time he walked over. Eventually, he revealed his intentions to you, and asked fo your phone number, and as cliche as it sounds, you wrote it down for him on a napkin, hoping that he does decide to use it.

Casper Ruud:

You were a tennis coach at a local club, coaching a few of the beginner kids on a Tuesday afternoon. The owner of the club had told you that you could only use one of your designated courts today, as someone had hired one of them for the afternoon, and was desperate for a back court that was out of the way. Whilst you coached the kids, you kept making eye contact with the young guy on the court next to you. You new that he was one of the professional tennis players on the men's tour, though you were unsure as to why he kept looking in your direction. It wasn't until after your lesson had finished that he ducked out of his training session just to catch you and introduce himself. Casper informed you that he was going to be sticking around for the next week or so, and that he would love to catch up with you sometime during that. You of course agreed, excited that one of your favourite tennis players had essentially just asked you out on a date.
