You are too, if you happen to be in love with Missed Connections on Craigslist. I have the page bookmarked and I check it at least six times a day. I disgust myself, but it's so entertaining.
If you don't know what it is, it is basically where instead of asking someone to buy your old bike, you can post an ad for a person that you may have seen on the train or at a store or even on the street. People tend to either creepily ask these people out on random dates, or they may just say that they thought they were cute. Some also go a bit deeper and profess their love for people from their past. It's like a truth box, where people can say anything they want about someone else, but not be identified. It makes you want to look better when you ride the subway or when you go to a show, just in case some attractive stranger is watching you. No matter what people write though, it's always entertaining.
I found this one today:
Some days are harder than others, yesterday was awful. I'm not sure when it's going to get better, when it only seems to be getting worse. I miss you and hope you are well....Merry Christmas, L
I wish it was written about me. I mean it could be. It was m4w, and it was for someone located in Boston. But no one would ever say that about me. At least no one that I know of. I can dream though.
This website gives me faith in love.
It's out there. Maybe even on some random street corner.
