Austinist Goes Inside Craigslist in Search of Missed Connections
We received some pretty good responses from you lot about running the Craigslist Missed Connections post as a weekly feature. We totally agreed. Besides, we spend so much time searching the listings in hope that we can be as sought-after as Justin Cox get one ourselves, we figured we might as well put those until-now-wasted hours to use. So, starting today, we will run our favorite Missed Connection of the past week. We plan to run it on Thursdays, using posts from the previous Friday-Wednesday. That gives us a week’s worth of material from which to cull, and then the freakshow/inter-flirtations can all start back up again on Thursday night, cause face it, that really is the start of everyone’s weekends these days it seems.
These could be favorites for myriad reasons: sweet and endearing; stalkery and creepy; unique and odd; whatever. It is completely subjective, and of course you are free to leave your favorite in the comments, but please do not email us with your favorites. We have enough Viagra home loan email to read as it is.
This past week was pretty tame; so we were at a bit of a loss in coming up with quality candidates. But we were bound and determined to get this MC post going. Baby steps towards respectability. (Besides, a girl can't take a crap on a guy's floor EVERY week.)
(After the jump, someone who is much lamer than you...we hope.)
You live upstairs from me- m4w - 28
...In a pretty big complex in South Austin We know each others names and we talk when we see each other but I was hoping something more would go down. If you showed more interest I wouldn't go this route, let me know....
Has it really gotten this bad folks? Are people that scared of human interaction and being the slightest bit bold? Look, fella, you see this woman on a fairly regular basis - she lives upstairs for god’s sake. We think you either need to a) get some sack or b) get a clue. With regard to “a,” how can you see a woman to whom you are attracted and have conversation with her regularly and not have the courage to at least ask her out for a drink? As far as “b” goes, we are going to be crazy here and go out on a limb, but if you have talked to this woman on multiple occasions and she has seemingly given you no indication that she is interested in the least, then maybe you need to quit fantasizing about the situation and move on to that girl down the hall.
You are 28 for Pete’s sake (sorry, we watched Fargo last night), ya weakling, either sack up and ask her out or realize that she’s just not that into you. Besides, if she has been relatively frigid to you thus far vis-a-vis potential amorous feelings, even after all those wonderful chats about the parking lot situation/that stubborn washing machine in the laundry room/the crazy pizza delivery guy/your misssing cat, then we seriously doubt that an anonymous posting on the intraweb is going to be the spark that melts her, allowing her to succumb to your insecurities inner Don Juan.
The meek may inherit the earth, but not their downstairs neighbor. Are we wrong here, folks?
