Help me find my mystery man by passing this along to your friends! :)

I met the most handsome guy at the Delano in Miami on Friday, September 18th, where we had a ton of fun dancing and watching the band. My party went outside for a minute to get some air then had to leave suddenly so I wasn’t able to say bye or exchange contact info.

I was in a group of three girls, he was in a group of three guys – we were all out-of-towners visiting for the weekend. He’s mid-20s, about 6’4”, light hair, may have played basketball at university, may live in NYC, and may be named Brody (hey, the band was loud and I might have misheard). He’s the guy in both photos , I’m the girl, and these were probably taken shortly after our goofy cabbage patch and sprinkler dance-offs!

Unfortunately, these two horrible photos and the few bits of unconfirmed information are the only evidence I currently have of his existence but I bet we’re no more than six degrees separated. Please let me know if you have any clues and by passing on the word! :)

To the Mystery Guy: Contact me, let’s grab a coffee...
