I have a complete obsession with Craigslist's Missed Connections.
I read them, I sympathize with them and I post them. Not really "Missed Connections"...just things I think about.
Here's a lengthy exchange that went down today.
I think we were made for each other... - m4w - 29
Not a missed connection in the traditional sense. I think it's just God's cruel joke really. I've liked you since I met you, infact I would go as far as to say we are connected. Well at least I am, you have apparently missed this connection. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not upset, just baffled. You see before we last talked about this I prayed for the first time in a long time, something like this... "give me a sign you bastard, or I'll have to give up on her". Not even a half an hour later I found your ad on here and I knew somehow it was you, I don't know how to explain it. The ad was vague, it could have been anyone, I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach, I knew it was you like I would if you had been speaking directly to me.
There are only a couple of options here:
-a) either I'm completely delusional and it was just a crazy coincidence
-b) god hates me, and is pissing his pants laughing right now, or
-c) maybe god tried to tell you, but you can't hear him for some reason,
*Note to to readers who are not the target of this posting: She knows who she is, we've already talked about it, she seems to lean toward option a).
Look, all I know is unrequited love sucks to begin with, but when I know, absolutely and undoubtedly that we would be so good together, it sucks all that much more. And I really don't like the f-word but you gotta admit fate isn't that far of a stretch from where I stand.
I know you have already made up your mind, otherwise I would just send this to you, I guess I just need to say it and clear some space in my head.
Sincerely,
M

Re: I think we were made for each other
I am pretty confident this ad was posted directed at me....all I can really say is i am sorry. I knew it was tough for you when I said I couldn't date you but I guess I didn't realize really how much it affected you. Its not that I hate you or that I don't like you....I think you know that. I told you my reasons and I am sorry if those weren't good enough for you. I don't know what else to say except that......I have alot of things going on in my life right now, yes I posted an ad at one point but all it did really was reinforce why I have given up on the dating world a long time ago. Its been a long time and I know really I am still not ready to move on.
I hope that some how we can get past this awkwardness that we feel when we are around each other and that we can still remain friends at the very least. We did have fun hanging out....right? Your call I guess...

Love is tough. I might start posting my own "Best Of" once a week. I say that about a lot of things though.
