Back watching this, I was a mere child when I first watched this. Now I'm going to college and I realize the older you get the less friends you have. You should appreciate everything around you, such as family, friends, and yourself. Make a difference and you'll be a happier person

Simply beautiful! The expressions on each of their faces are so true-to-life and so perfectly done. We know what they are feeling...the tentativeness, the questions, the growing confidence.

It always the mark of great storytelling when you can feel the emotions of the characters without any dialogue. Beautifully done!

Dear Tony, Terrance, and Rolan ~ Please pardon some of the less than eloquent mutterings of my thick-headed fellow Americans -- your film is exquisite! It is a symphony, a poem, a bouquet of loveliness. It is quite evident that every single second of this movie was artfully crafted. The delight of nuance, of restraint, of suggestion, of the simple gesture is everywhere in evidence. Bravo for taking your time to get it just right. How few of the contributions to YouTube ever strive to meet such high standards. This video was truly a treat and I hope that you continue to work your magic in the digital arts and bring greater gifts to the world in the years to come. Bravisimo!

well that was.... awkward.... nice ending though.... but deep down everyone is lonely in some sense... especially those who "need" someone to fill that loneliness.... we all have our own worlds in which we exist to the exclusion of everybody else... but to be alone without the weight of being lonely comes through the ability to be a complete person.. a mistake that most people make is that a relationship is going to solve their problems of loneliness and be able to make them whole and complete... and that is why most relationships fail....

That time a short film tells the story of your life in a nutshell.

I'm really amazed with the way this film depict the character's eyes and body language. It's just so real and touching

[rosebooker]

I siting here, screaming, SMILE AT HER YA DOOF!

Seriously...

[brendakell]

Cute!  The eye movements were so true, very well captured, excellent work!

I'm a introvert.. and this movie beautifully depicts how does it feels.. loved it..

[Jondude]

but in all seriousness, I love this video. It captures every emotion a guy goes through when feeling alone and the animators did a fantastic job portraying a realistic situation with believable feelings behind it.

ive noticed that they seem to put the loneliness of singleness on bachelors. im a woman and have been single all my life so far. women experiance the same thing.

[andrian]

Well, good to see that he gets a happy ending. Being an introvert, I know exactly what this feels like, except for me it will probably be a bad ending.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, I'm having a hard day, my uncle died hours ago and I was just watching short films and this one made me Smile, thanks for making my day God bless

Well that restaurant interaction was uncomfortable to watch lol. It’s funny to think that one point we didn’t have phone distractions and didn’t have much to look at while out dining.

[rayhughes]

very good. The subtle face movements are well captured for an animation .. and are beleiveable

[TheRavenThief]

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought the guy was creepy for staring so long, and with such a blank expression. It was pretty obvious the girl noticed him and even stared back for a minute, yet got no reaction from him and so looked away again, yet he till just stared. She even looked a bit uncomfortable, but maybe that's just me.

Anyway, the animation itself was fantastic. The story, not so much.

You are fabulous. We use film in school and education; students work on it in projects, and we show it, which is appreciated. Thank You

When he picked up the rose, it symbolized he believed in love again

[kuly]

I’ve been watching for the past few years and I can’t get over how great it is
