Missed Connections on Craigslist have been a guilty pleasure of mine since I lived in NYC. The premise is that you caught someone's eye on the subway on the way to work... numerous exchanges of looks... maybe a smile right before you exited the train. Then you kick yourself for not introducing yourself or exchanging emails or asking him/her to coffee.
Well, before Craigslist came along that was all you could do. No longer - now you can post a short witty "message in a bottle" to that stranger in hopes of a miracle.
I'll admit the MC's in NYC are much better than Nashville. More romantic, more poetic and decidely less sleazy. But today I read one that gives me hope for Nashville MC's. But it makes me sad for the poor sap that's missing out on this particularly poetic poster.
Read for yourself and after reading do yourself a favor, don't let a connection be missed. Say hello, say I love you... say something.We could have been incredible - w4m

I should have known that when I can't hide behind my words, you don't like what you see. We could have been incredible. We could have been eggs over easy and the warmth of the coffee cup in my hand. We could have been rainy day embraces and that song you sing to on the radio.
All I have is your letters. What will you do now?
