Isn't this considered "creepy" cyberstalking behavior? [View all]

What's a modern-day girl to do when she's sure she's just met the guy she's going to marry but didn't get his digits? Take to Twitter, of course. Erica Domesek, who lives in New York City, was traveling on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Calgary, Canada, when she hit it off with a handsome stranger in the seat next to her. While the pair exchanged pleasantries, they neglected to trade last names or contact information, so Domesek decided to tweet the airline for a little help.



Maybe it was the reference to the classic Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant "Notting Hill" rom-com that made the company give in, but no matter its motivation, American Airlines responded that they would love to help Domesek find her "Happily Ever After." Unfortunately, the airline is unable to give out passenger information (take comfort in knowing AA prioritizes privacy over love). They then asked Domesek to throw out some ideas of her own to track him down.

I'm just hoping this guy knows what's apparently expected of him. This woman has picked him, and let the world know about it, so he'd better not disappoint. My guess is if you had such a wonderful trip with a person on a plane together and wanted it to go somewhere, you might have mutually given out a phone or email?
