If you’ve never checked out Craigslist’s Missed Connections section, you really should. The Western Mass forum is full of wistful near-meets and longing. Below is a compilation of “missed connections” items from craigslist.org. Entries include post date.

I miss wearing your clothes. — m4w (northampton)

We used to joke that i looked better in your clothes than you did. Your high heels even fit me! Did you have big feet or are mine small? Did I tell you how great of a makeup artist you were? Nobody ever suspected a thing lol. I hope you move back shortly! Feb. 13, 2017

Lenox Person, New Castle, PA — m4w (Lenox)

Hi. Do not want to say too much, for sake of your privacy. I am not a full member of a site you are on, but, clicked on a picture. I am in Pittsfield. Would love to invite you for a coffee or some other non-pressure type thing? In full disclosure. I am 65, semi-retired and barely 5,5 these days. You are taller! Chances of your reading this and meeting? Very long shot. Better odds at the track. Chances of it being great? Another longshot. Betting on a day when we will meet aliens is better odds. Even so. You have to have a lot and good sense of humor to get thru life. Thanks. Feb. 13, 2017

got dammit — m4w

Dammit Barbara, if that is really your name. Meet me behind Rinay NEWS again at the usual time. Bring my Reeboks back you nasty old woman. Love “Rick” Feb. 11, 2017

Tinder Annabelle — m4w

we matched and your pictures had my heart pumpin’, the one with the dog combined some of things i love most in this world. Doggos, beautiful people and dyed hair. I’m not sure if I can or want to destroy you emotionally, but damn you’re beautiful and seem fascinating, so hit me up. As a disclaimer, i’m mostly looking to make out and cuddle with folks, but i’m open minded and flexible, so whatever happens happens. Feb. 13, 2017

You came to my house today for a service. Something to do with my home. I won’t be specific because I don’t want to actually meet you per se. I just wanted to say how refreshing it was for me in my pajamas to open the door to you today. Not only are you handsome and dare I say sexy but you were intelligent and interesting to talk to.
