More Random Romance and Missed Connections

One of this week’s posters thinks he met his one true love at Chipotle. Photograph by Adam Morcom.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day this week, we offer up another selection of “missed connections” from Craigslist. There are so many to choose from, it leaves one wondering if Washington needs a new industry: matchmakers. There could be a fortune in that. (All ads are published as they appear, emoticons and all.)

Man fr Texas near my table (Pearl Dive)

Hi,

You were sitting at the table over from me. We were both eating alone and I felt we had something in commmon. I was going to talk to you but then I talked myself out of it. A true missed connection! Anyways, I thought by some miracle of a chance you would be checking CL.

Thanks.

You – beautiful brunette; working the register when I stopped in around 8:30 tonight to pick up some dinner.

Wanted to talk more, but you were working. If you happen to see this and want to talk more, email me back and tell me what the butterfly refers to so we both can be sure who we’re talking to.

I Missed My Chance (Lake Ridge)

i saw you today only for a few minutes, and i want more than just your friendship.

Intersection of K and 20th Around 4 PM Feb 8th

We made eye contact as we passed each other in the cross walk. You did a double take and I kept starting and smiled a little bit. YOU: were a gorgeous brunette with medium length hair and blue eyes about 5’4” tall. You were wearing a dark jacket and grey tights underneath a black mini skirt. I was in black leather jacket with a black hoodie underneath with the hood pulled over my head since it was raining out, and blue jeans. I thought about you the entire metro ride home and had to post this in the oft chance you read this. I would love to hear from you.

You’re On News Channel 8

Every morning, I try to catch a glimpse of you on the TV screen at work. For some reason, your cameraman rarely does a close-up shot of your face, but when it happens, you own that screen! You’re so mesmerizingly beautiful. Don’t know much about your journalistic achievements, but the glimpse of you makes my morning bright, Natasha Barrett. I’m not the kind of guy who’d sit down and watch a morning chat show like Let’s Talk Live, but I do stare at you often. 🙂

Craziness Is Like Heaven

I love you

I will always love You

Unconditionally
