Houstonist believes in love, which is why we've been taking cues from our friends at Austinist and browsing Craigslist's missed connections. We learned a lot, like that Houston's banks and gyms are great places to flirt (dumpsters... not so much) and if you don't get a name and number the first time, you haven't lost your chance for love. Here are some gems.
Dark Haired Girl in Blue Caddy at Chevron on Smith St. last Wednesday
You were driving an older model Blue Cadillac with a white A&M sticker on the back window.You kept checking something under the hood and possibly added some water to something. I wanted to help, but you were already getting help from someone else (plus I'm not exactly a mechanic....lol). I was in the small silver car parked near the dumpsters waiting to pick up a friend that was going to be meeting me there. Anyway, we exchanged numerous glances and I think you might have had some interest, but not sure. I certainly had a lot of interest in you. I know this is a long shot, but I would love to hear from you if you see this. Please reply!
We can just imagine the reply: Oh that was you? That was watching me try and fix my car? With water? Just watching? Near the dumpsters? Like a passive-aggressive stalker? That was you? LET'S DATE!
Crystal training
We had training last week for report writing... you're name is Abigale and I could hardly concentrate on what we were doing because you were looking so HOT.Please let me know if you would like to have lunch or ANYTHING else.
ANYTHING, like, say an orgasm? What report writing class is this? If the writer was actually, I don't know, paying attention in the class, his missed connections post might actually be a little more impressive. Wordsworth he ain't.
Blonde in the green Ram
We saw each other at Aggieland Fitness. Contact me if you want to hang out.
What a charmer. "Me: Sweating like a pig. You: Driving a truck to the gym. Wanna hook up?"
99 cent store in pearland
We were looking in the card section together for mother's day cards.You: white shirt, brown wavy hair
Me: green shirtDo you want to grab lunch sometime?
Let me know it's really you by what I said to you and what you said to me.
Houstonist is romantically naive enough to believe in true love, but not in this case if the woman forgot to bring her tape recorder with her as she discount shopped.
To the good looking teller at B of A
You were the cute Indian (?) guy helping me at the Bank of America on San Felipe... said you lived at the West Point apts... dunno if you were flirting or just making conversation but I thought you have a great smile. I was the guy getting the money order... if you're interested in getting some coffee or some dinner, i hope to hear from you!
Aside from the racial ambiguous question mark, we really like this missed connection, and hope these two meet up again. If the admiree doesn't see this craigslist post, the admirer could always just visit him again. He knows where he works... and lives. And now does the whole Internet. On second thought, this Missed Connections business is somewhat creepy.
Tune in next time...
