Ahh, there’s nothing like an early morning Metro ride to kick off your day. Apparently, the dark, dingy tunnels over-crowded with people are a great place for romance. Or so says Craigslist’s Missed Connections. Each day plenty of people post about that cutie with the iPod they saw while peering over their copy of Express. Maybe it’s the atmosphere, maybe it’s the hoards of people, but these couples never actually speak to each other. Luckily, we’ve got Missed Connections to give them a second chance. So here’s the best of this week’s Missed Connections: Metro Edition. Red Line Metro lateish Friday night – m4w (Metro Center-Silver Spring) Reply to: pers-779760431@craigslist.org Date: 2008-08-02, 1:08AM EDT You were beautiful…. I didn’t have the guts to talk to you because I was too distracted by the two guys singing obscene lyrics on the platform and then the guy’s cologne sitting next to me. All I wanted to say was that you made my evening a little better. * Location: Metro Center-Silver Spring
Those singing guys get ya every time.

Cute Blond in green dress on yellow Line sunday evening – m4w – 26 (Washington DC) Reply to: pers-782095876@craigslist.org Date: 2008-08-04, 2:02AM EDT I was the shy brown guy stealing glances at you. You were like the sunshine itself 🙂 * Location: Washington DC
A blond girl is like the sun? Someone’s been on the metro for a little too long.

Green dress, blonde, there was a guide dog in our car and we kept looking at him…you are beautiful…drinks sometime? * Location: Orange line
If she kept checking out the dog, then she might not be into you — just a thought.

“I’ll craiglist you”? When did that become a verb?
