Dear Casper and Bill, Do you think it's desperate for people to use Missed Connections on Craigslist to find love? I'm thinking about trying it out but don't want people to laugh at me (or worse, use my entry in the Insider)! Should I give it a shot or stay single (and be miserable)?
Dear Sad and Lonely, The clock is ticking. Now is the time to get the ammunition ready and begin the attack. What do you care about the others if they laugh . . . they are not looking out for Mr. Nice Guy or Ms. Cutie Pie. The fun begins only if you are honest in your info on the websites. We did! Yes we did. Now that we have your unpided attention: We didn’t. Honest. Really. No need to. What have you got to lose. Think of the possibilities. Alone again? Crying in your beer? Draggin’ your tail? Hangin’ around for last call? Come on . . . sign up ASAP. Or maybe you can try this: You could wear a sandwich board around town with the following words: “The Insider told me I could carry this ad for all to see. I am looking for the right mate. I’m rich, have a McMansion in the Lakes Region, a villa in the Bahamas and a camp in Siberia. I'm kind, generous and a great lover with a dynamite personality. Interested? Talk to me, doll. So what if it is a bit of a stretch. Think of the possibilities! Can we stay in your pied-à-terre in London?”
