If you’ve never checked out Craigslist’s Missed Connection forum, you really should. The site is filled with longing, lust, and miscellaneous statements of the heart. The following is a sample from the Western Mass forum, Post dates have been added.
saw you crapping and it stole my heart — m4w (Hadley)
I never thought I would find the love of my life on a toilet in a unisex bathroom in a gas station. I was in a hurry and you forgot to lock the door. As I pulled open the door, there you were, veins in your neck and face protruding, and grunts like a tender water buffalo giving birth. The look of shock on your red face as we locked eyes and I knew you were the one. The spell was broken as we both heard something heavy hit the water in the bowl. Thinking it too brash to ask for your number mid push, I politely shut the door and walked away. Now I regret it and hope you’ll contact me. You know who you are, please don’t wipe me from your memory and flush this chance of a lifetime down the toilet. March 21, 2017
Smitten — m4w (Northampton)
I see you walking downtown occasionally, usually during the day. You have long dark hair and im usually in an orange truck. I always wave and try to get some sort of reaction from you but it hasn’t worked so far. Email me back, lets get a drink. Or at least wave n smile next time. March 19, 2017
Chicopee P.O at Holyoke St Paddys Road Race — w4m (Holyoke Ma)
Looking for a Chicopee cop I had a great interaction with before the race began. If you see this,which I doubt you will, respond to this with what I was supposed to bring you! I hope this works but won’t be surprised if it doesn’t. I just don’t know what else to do other than drive through Chicopee. March 19, 2017
driving but Both doing the same thing — m4w (Springfield)
So Thursday night both out driving do the same thing. Side by side at the light you laughed and yelled over I rolled down my window what did you say? I guess we were doing something we were not supposed to be doing. I’d like to perhaps do it together… you interested? Tell me what color and car you were driving or something the two of would know from that interaction March 17, 2017
We’re at either end — m4m (WMass)
We keep looking down the bar. I would NEVER tell. She’ll never know. You’re in charge. March 17, 2017
Lovesick Monogam-ish — m4w (Western MA)
Dear Lovesick Monogam-ish, Recently read your article in the local paper [Editor’s Note: The writer is referring to the Valley Advocate article, “V-Spot: Am I in a Healthy Open Relationship?”] and also share similar ideas. Between work, budgeting in efforts in repay graduate loans, and personal self improvement I too have very little “free” time although am continually searching for like-minded women which seems to be elusive. Feel free to respond anytime and have an excellent day;)! Cheers, Like-Minded March 17, 2017
Girl eating chips at whole foods — m4w (Whole Foods)A cart full of chips AND you were eating a bag of chips in the store. Figured you didn’t want to be harassed while shopping at 10PM, but had to give this a shot. March 16, 2017
