We took to Craigslist last week to see what was happening on the Missed Connections pages. And as always, there were a lot of posts – some of which we could print and you’ll find here for your unedited viewing pleasure – and others that lets just aren’t fit for publication.
Talked for over an hour (you’re definitely a gamer) – m4w (Concord Mall) – Jan. 18
Hey. We had a great conversation at the Concord mall. You came into where I was working and we chatted for over an hour. I’d love to do more than chat sometime.

blonde in white top and jeans – m4w (TJ MAXX Concord) – Jan. 14
I saw you Thursday afternoon at about 12:30 at the TJ Maxx on Loudon Rd. You have short blonde hair and were wearing a white sweater and jeans. We made eye contact briefly, and I think I caught a smile.
I was running short on time and was on a bit of a mission. You looked to have an armful of clothes.
You are stunningly beautiful! I’d love to talk.
Cribbage game. – m4w (Concord) – Jan. 9

You helped me make a decision – m4w (Concord) – Dec. 30
I was having a hard time making a decision and you helped me out. I was very glad you took over for the first person helping me. You were much better to look at and flirt with. Tell me what I bought. Did you like what you saw?
The Wallflower – w4m (Concord) – Dec. 29
I cannot say it is a *missed* connection really.
Because I am convinced the connection actually wasn’t missed at all.
I suspect we both knew it.
I still see you. Often.
And when I see you, I avoid you.
I’m afraid that if I look at you, I will give myself away.
But we are acquaintances and I can’t always escape.
You are an important person and have a family.
But I so badly want you to know about how at that very first moment you looked at me…
…as I smiled and said your name, knowingly, at the registration table…
I was mesmerized.
Two years later…still…my heart races whenever we are in a room together.
But there’s nothing I can do about it.
