For all of you who aren’t craigslist addicts, the section titled missed connections is located within the personals section and is devoted to people who made eyes with each other at Starbucks but for a variety of reasons couldn’t talk to the person before they got up to leave.
Maybe you were stuck on the BQE and some hottie gave you the finger for cutting her off and you want her number, or maybe you were in line at the Glatt Mart and when the cashier slammed the change down on the counter Boro Park style you got the chills. Missed connections are for people who regret not trying to pick up the person they smiled at or made eyes at and they happen thousands of times a day across the land – and if you haven’t checked out Craigslist missed connections you are missing something very entertaining.
According to the graph above most missed connections in NYC happen on the subway at 35% with a distant second coming on the street at 8%.
I am sure I have had many missed connections, but last night would definitely qualify as a real missed connection with definite possibilities to meet the person, if they happen to be reading craigslist. I even decided to post my own ad.

From across the street you looked at me in this “I wonder if I know him?” way and I looked at you thinking “damn your cute, I wonder if your religious?” and then after about 30 seconds you turned around and walked down Court street into Park Slope never to be seen again.
At this point I decided that I would post my first ever missed connection and join all of the others who swore they had a connection over a brief eye sex session at Starbucks or how they swore you connected when you bumped heads as you both dropped your laundry soap at the same time.
I was wearing a gray Fidel Castro hat, was unshaven, in the need of a haircut, wearing sandals and had tzitzis dangling by my beige shorts.

haha can’t wait to see how this one plays out
I am not expecting anything from in, I made the ad more for illustration then anything else
I put my all of stuff into word, so if word doesn’t catch it it doesn’t catch it
Dude, you’re really starting to sound like you need to get some in a hurry.
From your description of what you were wearing and her subsequent reaction, my guess is that you mistook the look on her face; it was fear!

I reckon she was admiring the grizzly look.
I saw one and I think she’s looking for you.

You most definitely did not see me but you were wearing a white shirt, black shorts, and what looked like Vans.
You had a lot of tattoos on your calves and you wore black glasses.
Couldn’t help but stare.
Hope you see this, we should get coffee or dinner.

….heshy – who gives a crap.
more lame crap to get people to find this stupid blog.
did you ever notice normal people dont really have blogs?
anyone normal reading this?
anyone with a job or bit a sense or maybe a bit or yeras shamayim?
its called no life…
To answer your questions.
Apparently you’re the first.
Yea! Like ohmygod evernoe woh has a blg is lik totaly not frum!
/sarcasm off
It’s called no life, you described yourself very well. Great job. Actually, a good blog (like this one) can be quite lucrative (although I’m sure hesh wishes it was more so). If you don’t know what the word lucrative means, please stop reading now. But never start a blog yourself (please). I wouldn’t want your outstanding yiras shamayim to diminish to my paltry standards (I have a blog, rachmana litzlan).
@it’s called no life
If you don’t like it, then nobody is forcing you to read blogs. Go download some porn or something else that “normal” people do on the internet.
