An Australian woman went all out to get the attention of a "cute guy" on a plane — and her efforts have since gone viral.
Isabella Duric, 23, had been traveling on a Virgin Australia flight from Sydney to Melbourne when she saw the man in question — whose name has since been revealed as Lachie — and decided to throw him a note, per news.com.au.
Duric documented the whole thing in a recent TikTok video, writing over the clip, "Saw a cute guy on the plane and thought I'd shoot my shot," adding, "So we decided to throw a letter to where he was sitting."
The note included Duric's name, identifying herself as the "Blonde" in brackets, as well as her number and Instagram handle.
Her friend then did the honors, throwing the note across the aisle, but failed to get the man's attention. Duric wrote, "The second hand embarrassment..."

She added, "When he didn't read the letter, we made this to show him," showing a sign on a phone that read "Open the note" in capital yellow letters.
Teasing her followers, Duric ended the clip — which has now been watched over 1.4 million times — by showing a text she'd received from Lachie, which read, "Hey Isabella, I'm Lachie the dude you threw a note at haha how are you. Didn't have internet on the plane to add you unfortunately."

The content creator has since revealed that the note-throwing was a dare, but did say she was genuinely interested in the man, per news.com.au.
She told the outlet, "My friend said, 'I found your airport crush' and he pointed to the guy behind us," adding, "I told the girls about it in a Snapchat and said 'imagine I send a note to the guy' and they dared me to do it."
The friends then wrote a sign on a phone that told the 'cute guy' to 'open the note'

In the clip, Lachie was been wearing a baseball cap and white T-shirt and was seen sitting next to the window on the plane. "It bounced off the window and landed near his seat. But he thought it was for someone else and didn't read it," Duric told news.com.au of the moment she decided to shoot her shot.
They managed to eventually get his attention, with Duric telling the outlet that she apologized for "being annoying" after Lachie text her, to which he responded, "Nah, you're fine."
The pair then texted for a few days about things like work and university, according to the outlet, however, things eventually fizzled out and she's now seeing somebody else.
"Everything is meant to happen for a reason and it was also a bit of a running joke (about my airport crushes) – and I am seeing someone else now," Duric told the outlet.

Virgin Australia's chief marketing and customer operations officer, Libby Minogue, said that passengers often find love on Virgin flights, telling news.com.au, "Whether it's a conversation sparked at the gate or a connection with the person in the next seat."
"There's something about flying that makes people more open to the unexpected. From mid-air proposals and weddings, we've played cupid more than once. It turns out love really is in the air," Minogue added.
Duric did not immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE for further comment. PEOPLE has also reached out to Virgin Australia.
