Craigslist: Missed Connections


As we move to the next square on the calendar you're still out there trying to make a connection. Sadly you let most of them slip by without saying a word. We understand, no one wants to be overzealous and get shot down. If only you had some place to find a second chance. Oh yes, Missed Connections. If only you had someone to sort through and find the best of the above. Oh, right, read below....

Propane - m4w - 38 (Austin)

I'm wearing a button up blue shirt, jeans, and brown leather boots. You were in a Santa Fe style t-shirt, purple jeans, big earrings and a beautiful smile. We were in the propane + propane accessories store and I filled your tank. Can I refill it?

Hank Hill is on the market folks, get him while he lasts. He'll help you taste the meat, not the heat.

Ice Cream Section "Don't do it, it's evil." - m4w - 36 (HEB Hancock Center)

Hey there.. We exchanged several glances tonight at HEB. Definitely seemed a lure happening there. I walked by you in the ice cream section and said "Don't do it, it's evil." Then you said " But it's so tempting!" Anyway, you are pretty damn cute and would love to hang out sometime.. Write me!

You don't know us! We don't judge your ice cream purchases and you don't judge ours, that's how this works. But thanks for trying to be the ice cream devil on our shoulders.

trying a "reversed" missed connection... - m4m - 37 (jogger on east-side)

read these all the time...hoping one day, someone has a missed connection with. anyways, maybe this will work.....i jog on the east-side all the time... trail at old mueller airport, mlk, givins park of 12th, pleasant valley rd., east townlake. so if you seen me, hunked, whistled at me before, give me a hollar.

This is definitely a novel approach and we wish you luck!! Report back and let us know how it works out!

MCs in Bulk - w4m - 21 (pretty much the usual places)

I thought I'd take care of all my missed connections in one fell swoop. Here goes.

Ming's: Cute guy who works the register. Longish brown hair, always wearing some-variation-of-plaid shirt. I'd guess you read Hemingway, and you drink Lone Star, and you and your girlfriend sit atop wildflower-strewn hills to watch sunsets together. Next!

I <3 Video: Close-cropped black hair, black frames. Former RTF student? Very business-like on the job. I vaguely remember tattoos- sleeves? You're hot. I will never, ever speak to you conversationally because I'll make some really bad Ed Wood joke, and you'll tilt your head to look at me with a tender mixture of puzzlement and pity...

Guys on the RR Bus on days of inclement weather: I see you, seein' me. We are sooo checking each other out. Uh-huh... yeah... ok, well... Bye! This is my stop! That was awesome! That guy was checkin' me out hardcore! Oh, wait, that means NOTHING because I just jumped off the bus without saying anything. Dude.

Guy in my class: I wore this shirt today because you're in my class. I don't have to look nice for class, ever. There is no dress code, for which I'm eternally grateful. Once it gets hot again I'll be sweating my ass off riding to campus, so please, appreciate the fact that I was able to look cute today. And stop looking at me like you wanna make out if you're never gonna say anything.

And all you other adorable bastards: God, you are all so hot. Scruffy, unshowered, bicycle-bound. Good God. So hot. I am way too shy to ever talk to you.
* Location: pretty much the usual places

Another novel and wonderful approach, with a scatter shot effect like this certainly it will work somehow!

For an added bonus adult Missed Connection feel free to do some extracurricular work on your own. You'll laugh out loud with an added ewwww.

That's it for this week. If we missed any of your favorites
just post them for us all to view. We'll be back next week with a new
round up. Until then, may you find Peace, Love and
Connections.
