This week, poor choices abound as our Missed Connections writers make misguided attempts at romance. Chances are, if you’re rude on Metro or chew a girl out at a bar, the interaction won’t lead to your dream relationship. Then again, if one of the most miserable places in the city can breed flirtation, anything is possible.

I rudely passed in front of you before you got on train. . . Does he really think she’d remember, let alone be charmed by another inconsiderate Metro rider?

Saturday night 10/2/10 at Wonderland Ballroom, you screamed at me and I screamed back. I thought you were cute. I liked your hair, or lack thereof. Craigslist dating tip #129: If you want to meet the woman of your dreams, just yell at her in a highly public place. Works every time.

About 6:50 Friday evening; you thought I worked at the store. I didn’t, but played like I did. You are so freaking cute! Would love to have a cup of coffee. if it’s you . what did I look like? what practical joke did you tell me about re: another store? Hope to hear back soon!
Is this the first positive interaction to ever occur in a Verizon store? Historians, take note.
