missed me?


from time to time, i like to read craigslist's "missed encounters" sections.
i wonder if anyone has tried to find you?

i think this post is sweet and such a typically quintessential nyc encounter.

"you caught my eyes right away.

i was eating ridiculously healthy today and you were having buffalo chicken wing pizza. you told me i made you feel bad about your health but secretly i wanted to trade with you. i doubt yo'd be the type to check these things...but on the off chance you do, write me up!
i was hoping to talk more with you..."

salt lake city has a similar one in City Weekly magazine called the "I saw you" section. Some are hilarious and some sound a little stalker creepy!

i'm confused. what are these?

these are just posts people write looking for people they had an "encounter" with....you know... you meet the guy and you talk but he doesn't get your number?

all you have to do is post who you're looking for on craigslist....

and hopefully he reads/responds to your ad.

I love those missed encounters ads. My favorites are the ones that could be almost anyone, they say something like "Saw you on the D train last week. I think you saw me too. You were the girl with the brown hair and I was wearing a scarf. You're hot and would love to get to know you." I always wonder if those get any sort of response.
