Saturday, June 6, 2009 - m4w - 27 (42nd St and 5th Ave) So yea...um, looking for the girl who I was dancing with last night, she bit me twice. I forget her name.
Sunday, April 26, 2009 – m4w – 24 You wore an awesome color changing dress to the BBQ on Skillman Ave in Williamsburg, but someone spilled wine on it. You left too quickly...I'd like to see you again.
Saturday, March 28, 2009 - m4w - 19 (Uptown 3 Train) If not for your noisy Tambourine, I would not have seen you. Your green skirt looked terrible, but that leather jacket makes you look just right. I was the attractive guy sitting to your left just before you got off.
Monday, March 23, 2009 -m4w (Harlem) Remember? Uptown A train. Sunday at around 9pm. I was the black dude reading Bukowski's Post Office. You were reading the Arts and Leisure section. You passed wind rather loudly and started chuckling. I'd like to see you again. The flatulence wasn't a turn-off.
Friday, March 20, 2009 Passed you on street, u said hi - m4m (Upper West Side) Passed by you around 11pm tonight on street, UWS in 70s. You said hi, and I said hi as well. We both went into our respective buildings.
Sunday, March 15, 2009 -w4m 27 (East Village) Green Hula Hoop in Tompkins Square Park Yesterday you had a bright green hula hoop around your waist and you were VERY cute. Hope you reply.
Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down.
