Missed Connections

I don't know if it's the new job or what, but I feel like a lot of ladies have been checking me out lately.  Also, because of my friend Sarah Powers' occasional facebook links to Craigslist's missed connections, I have in the past few months become aware of how weird and amazing they are as a communication medium.  So, I've written a few for you to see.  These are all based on real girls I've seen/talked to.  They are semi-serious, semi-humorous and fit well with my desire to reveal all on the Internet.  These are the girls I've fallen in love with in the last week. 


1. You were the girl at the new Lincoln Square restaurant.  I was the guy in a button down shirt reading a book.  You said you didn’t know about the fajitas and suggested the the gyros platter.   I wasn’t impressed by the gyros, but I was impressed by your smile.  If you remember me, send me a message.

2.  We chatted at the bar.  You remembered me from a middle school function we both volunteered at the day before.  I asked you for your name twice, but I’m still not sure I remember it correctly.  I had to leave because my friend was waiting for me outside.  Also, there were several of your friends standing around us, so I felt out of place.  If none of those guys are dating you, I’d like a chance.

3.  You were the girl in your grandma’s big white car.  I was the guy handing you your drinks at the Starbucks drive-through.  You apologized for being on the phone with your grandma when I took your money.  I was impressed by your manners and I had a dream that night about driving my own big white car.

4.  You were two ladies in Halloween costumes in the Starbucks drive-through.   I was the guy who gave you your drinks.  You told me you work for a children’s dentist and asked why I wasn’t wearing a costume.  Did I hear one of you call me cute?  I’d like to see either of you again, hopefully before Halloween.

5. You came through the Starbucks drive-through.  I gave you your drinks.  You smiled.  It seemed genuine.  Was it?

  1. This is reminiscent of an idea for a short story I had that I'd forgotten I had. It's about the thoughts of a man sitting at a coffee shop as he watches pretty girls come in and out...
