I have a problem with the grammar here. You can't MAKE a MISSED connection. That's a contradiction. You can make a connection or you can miss a connection. If you MAKE a MISSED connection, you're making a connection.

I think that is the point, grammar or not. It is trying to emphasize the missed connection and then give that broken punched in the stomach feeling of abject regret and self loathing a potentially dangerous, somewhat delusional, second birthing.

Yeah, but...

there's no such thing as grammar when it comes to craigslist.

but of course you can MAKE A MISSED CONNECTION. it means you met her but didn't have the balls to grab her ass on the spot, then posted an ad on the paper to beg her to please show up in your life again, and then for some demented reason (alcohol, likely, or she thought you were loaded) she deigned contacting you back.

sac up and email back. I'm shy as shit as well, but just go for it man.

oh, that's a good variation. good use of language there. applause.

no but i just made a fake listing on w4m on craigslist.

I made a fake w4m posting in the casual encounters page on craigslist saying I was a 19 year old asian girl who wanted to sex that weekend and play video games.

Let's do it again.

most people don't really notice me anyway.

seriously, i had a lot of those, all due to shyness. ah well. if i feel really good around someone, i'm not shy anymore, so i don't think it's a big deal.

I was going to hit on a particular friend of a friend but then my lease end and I had to leave San Francisco.

I can't help but think that anyone scanning craigslist for missed connections that feature them, is a little.... odd.

so, in order to find your missed connection notice, she needs to be a little sad and lonely to begin with and so if she answers, its kind of an easy score, is it not?


They have this kind of thing in the daily trashy free newspaper here. Its really really daft.

sorry uhler. you seem like a really decent guy, you should really work up the courage to start and ask girls out. Instead of aiming for spazzys that search craigslist for mention of them.

I don't believe this sentence.

one year and a half ago, during my summer vacation i met one of the cutest girls i've ever seen. we were talking for like an hour and later her friend came and asked me what i think about her, which i thought was a hint. the morning after, she had to leave before i could say goodbye, and i had never seen this girl again - until a couple of weeks ago while i was walking down the street and suddenly bumped into her. i looked into her eyes and she didn't even seem to recognize me, so i just kept walking away. later i found her on facebook and added her as a friend, which she declined. since then i've bumped into her even a couple more times (turns out she moved to my school), but i still don't have the guts to tell her who i am.

do it.
you have to.
i'm a hopeless romantic and thats screaming fate.

right now, I'm winking at you and saying "fuck me fuck me fuck me".

please keep yr pants on, it's only the Tourettes.

Drop everything, find her, and if it turns out that she's not as interested in you as you hoped, kill her.

i'm serious... if i walk the street on a busy day, i have to zigzag all the time because people bump into me, let the door fall shut behind them, never step aside...

when i arrive somewhere i always have to go and tap people on the shoulder, or wave like an idiot, before anyone sees i arrived. it's quite tiring sometimes.

oh, please-- yeah, you may be shy and quiet, but you're absolutely adorable, and i'm sure you have quite the fan club. ok, when you're 19 is hard to compete with the noisy "popular" set and, but give your contemporaries a couple of years to grow out of their silliness and you'll see.
