Houston's Missed Connections: Burger with that shake

This week on Craigslist, users were missing each other in clubs and, weirdly, laundry mats and sharing conversations about some really unlikely possibilities, near-death experiences and, interestingly, God. Here is the cream of the crop:

In the laundry room Deerwood at the Park

I was waiting for a dryer and you had all of them tied up with your clothes. Because I was standing outside you assumed I was irritated to have to wait. In your nervousness, you told me about yourself and your family. I was totally captivated by you and your charm, I can't get over how cute you are. If you see this and would like to talk again, email me back

UGH! Don't let her walk away thinking you hate her. At least let on a little that you find her words amusing! Scrawl your number on a piece of paper and drop it in her laundry basket. Leave a cute note on her windshield admitting you were too shy to talk to her. Haven't you seen Serendipity?!?

Nit Noy midtown lunch today

You - very handsome, tall, dark hair, beautiful brown sweater, sitting at the next table. You asked about the special painted on the back of the building, and we talked about McDonald's opening gymnasiums. You have a dazzling smile - thanks for sharing it with me a couple of times. I'd have loved to have talked to you but was entangled.

It was a lunch thing; perhaps you can get in touch. I'm the guy in the blue sweater.

McDonald's opening gymnasiums? We've finally found a possibility less likely than reconnecting with a missed connection!

Laundry Day

I went down to do laundry at my apartment complex and you were there waiting for a dryer. You aske me if I always did laundry on sunday and I said I do.

I was kinda in a bad mood and didn't mean to be so rude.
You were really cute.

Another laundry post! Is the Washeteria the new Starbucks?

My Favorite Bartender

You have made the last few weekends out with my guy friends much more enjoyable. The stronger you make my drinks, the easier it is to play wingwoman for the boys. Thank you for putting up with me when I'm drunk and ridiculous, but then again, I guess its kinda your fault. =)

Not sure if you're single, but I'm hoping that you are and that you might be interested. I'll see you next weekend I'm sure!

Hey, even when you're easily suckered into playing wingman for the guys, you shouldn't discount your own love possibilities. Also, how does a guy go about making a friend like you?

Sometimes we like to just let our readers draw their own conclusions, and this post leaves plenty of room for interpretation:

FIESTA PARKING LOT, WEDSDAY NITE!

Yo if you are that lady [Black, solidly built, bible-totting] I met on that parking lot, gotta see you again! Told me she's heading back from Bible study, almost got knocked down by a truck while I'm still surveying the landscape; had to wrap up the conversation too fast to get away from the truck. I just got to hear what was taught in the house of God that Wednesday 12/06/2006 nite. You can Holla back if you get this*****
