Each week, we pick four thematically linked Missed Connections from the weekend to compete in a battle of opinion. First prize is a date with the missed connection. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired. (We have no power to actually award any of these prizes. Leave your ranking in the comments.)
Nothing sharpens the senses and stains the teeth quite like caffeine and nicotine. The former is the fuel that keeps much of America running, while the latter ensures you’ll look cool before dying a slow, painful death. Both, however, are handy icebreakers in the game of Internet-assisted love. And so we find our theme for this week’s jacked-up Missed Connections roundup:
CONTESTANT 1
You were working at starbucks - m4w - 22 (Franklin)
You were the girl with the reddish hair working at starbucks when I came in this morning around 6 a.m. I thought you tried to say something to me, but I’m not sure. If you find this, e-mail me. I’m the guy that walked up to the counter reading a Bible. Then I sat in the corner with the comfy chairs. I have curly brown hair and I wore a gray long sleeve shirt.
CONTESTANT 2
Saturday night, you asked me for a Cig - m4m - 21 (Old World 3rd St)
Hey, your name was Jessie and you asked me for a cig on old world 3rd st. I said you looked familiar, and you said you went to UWM, as I do as well. I wish i could have talked to you longer.
CONTESTANT 3
Both of our friends left us to go smoke - m4w - 27 (Scott E’s pub)
I ran into you at Scott E’s on Thursday night after both of our friends went out to smoke. I thought we had great conversation until you left with your friends to go to the eastside. It seemed like you all were unsure if you were going to leave. Tell me what we talked about and what bar you were headed off to. It’s a long shot but what the hell!
CONTESTANT 4
u me two hickeys on my ass cheek - m4w - 24 (Hollywoods roadhouse)
Hi I was at Hollywoods roadhouse on Monday and having a bad day. You are a sexy older lady in your late 40s you wrote a poem about me and also gave me two hickeys on my left ass cheek when we where out side smoking. If you could email me that poem and possibly meet up for a drink agian. I would greatly appreciate it thank you.
