I think the person who needed to be fearful was not Leonard.
How creepy was he...just standing next to the other guy at the exit...holding onto his scarf...wordlessly staring at him...then following him off the train...
Serial killer behavior...

It is a bit ironic I found, that sometimes sad, pathetic, desperate longing can actually be kind of fun.

Me in high school. Totally.
I agree that having the narration in Dutch would've been really lovely!

kd lang once introduced "Constant Craving" at a concert by saying that we all yearn for each other. It really stuck in my head and this lovely film brings it to mind.
And the only Dutch sentence I know "ik ben gek op jou" is in there! I'm crazy about you. Very sweet.

Ay, caray! What a world of emotions in this tiny film! From the savor of internalized homophobia to the over-the-top emotionality of people in their 20's or 30's. I've always been comfortable as a man, so I don't much relate to the "I wish I were a woman so I could attract this guy" imagery, but I definitely relate to the fear of rejection. I also note that, by going after the boy with the scarf, Leonard has laid some ground work upon which he may build on a later date. Sequel?

I see I am not the only one who found Leonard to be creepy and a quasi-stalker. Get real, he has the scarf yet stands at the subway car door like he is searching for a pick up line to use? Even the most socially inept would at the least blurt out "you forgot this" or something of the sort. Having that forgotten personal belonging is a given first opening move for anybody, and having survived shyness in social situations I know a bit about it.
Staring at someone with a look on your face like a calf with constipation is not a good thing either.
On a related note,I have seen a guy while on my daily power walks for about a month, he biking to a fishing spot, me fast walking in the opposite direction. What began as nodding or saying "hey" progressed to last week him commenting on how much I walk, to yesterday him stopping and introducing himself. If I see him today...who knows.

Almost 20% of this film is the ending credits.

I really can relate to this. It happened to me way back in college in New York City, early 1970s. I saw this great looking, tall guy, my age on the subway almost every evening but I never had the guts to do anything about it. Of course, that was a very different time. Hope he's happy, I am.

I've seen many hot (to me) guys, but there are a few that have that Something Special. Some of you would "never fall in love at first sight" or think this guy is a fool. Well, I just contend that you haven't encountered those few men who can put you head over heels at a moment's notice.

I met my partner on the subway platform at Herald Square - a very handsome Korean man. It was awkward, of course, because he's Asian and Asian people in NYC don't take the approach of "strangers" as easily as on the West coast. Anyway, we kept sneaking peeks at each other from across the platform. I'd noticed him once or twice before on the platform and was beside myself to speak to him while carefully leaving the ball in his court. I finally forced myself--forced myself--to walk over to him and ask him if he would take my phone number. That's all. He shocked me by saying "yes." I quickly stooped down and got a pen from my knapsack before he could change his mind and wrote it down. That was on a Friday at rush hour. The following Monday he shocked me by--calling!
That was in the Spring of 1999. 13 years later, just the sound of his voice over the phone can still makes gooseflesh run up and down my body.
