Certain stories are just too amazing to keep to ourselves, especially when those have unexpected, heartwarming twists.
We’ve collected 12 tales where people did or said something so surprising it left us thinking, “How is this not a movie scene?”
Story 1
I always go to the same flower shop. One day, the cashier smiled and told me, “You’re in here buying flowers every week. Your wife is so lucky.” The reality is, I don’t have a wife or a girlfriend.
I chuckled and said, “Actually, the flowers are for my daughter.
She’s the only woman in my life.” I get that it might seem a bit out of the ordinary, but my daughter absolutely adores flowers, and I just want to bring her a little joy.
Story 2
My boyfriend is Spanish, and I secretly began learning the language to surprise him. Today, he got a call from his mom and started chatting in Spanish, assuming I couldn’t understand him. But his words left me stunned.
He said, “Here’s the plan. I’ll pretend that I’m taking you both to a fancy restaurant to make it look casual. That’s when I’ll propose to her.” I’m thrilled, but I’m keeping it a secret, so I don’t spoil his surprise!
My long-term partner thinks he is the champion of making coffee. He’s a coffee artist. When we started dating almost 10 years ago, he wooed me with his amazing coffee, freshly made each morning. With cinnamon sprinkles on top.
His coffee is bad. So bad, I sip on it for a few minutes, let it get cold, and dump it down the sink. He puts so much sugar in the coffee that the bottom of it is a clear, melted, grainy crust. He adds so much spices on top that it literally feels like drinking sand. Sometimes the layer of spice is so thick, you can barely see the liquid surface underneath it. And it’s so overwhelmingly sweet, you can’t taste the coffee at all.
I started dating a guy who was kind of shy, a little overweight, and who lived with his parents, because I liked him and he was funny and passionate about his career and technology and thought my weird hobbies were interesting too.
