Why Craigslist Missed Connections Never Work for Me

Saw you driving the other day.  In a car.  I was also in a car.  You gave me a meaningful look.  The meaning it was full of appeared to be a romance meaning.  Or you’d purchased cheap sunglasses, the kind where if you look through them at the wrong angle the lenses make you kind of seasick.  You know what I mean? 7-11 sunglasses?  Hate that.  Anyway, if it was romance and not nausea, email me.

We talked at the bar, but I didn’t ask for your number.  Wish I had.  To be fair, I needed very badly to go vomit in an alley for a little while right when I was just courdrunkous (that’s the combination of drunk and courageous that I need to function) enough to ask.  If you’re still interested, email me.  Tell me what color the vomit was so I know it’s really you.  Trust me, if you saw it, you’d remember.

You:  Pretty lady working at the coffee shop.

Me: Guy who realized that the reason his shirt was all messed up was because a SECOND button had fallen off and the one safety pin he was using as a button substitute was inadequate.

I don’t know if you ever look at these, but I hope you do.  I’ll be honest, I wasn’t taken with you at first when we met at Buffalo Wild Wings.  I have to admit that I fucking hate that place, so I also hated you for being there.  But only as much as I hated myself:)  which is a lot.

Anyway, when I got home, I was thinking about you.  And me.  And while I arranged a stack of pillows and rolled them up into a comforter so that there was something vaguely body-like for me to spoon in the night when I inevitably had the nightmares about being in a monster truck accident, you were a lot more appealing all of a sudden.

If you answer within the next 5 hours, I will probably still feel the same way.  However, beyond that 5 hours I will probably be very resentful that I had to fight through another night of being run over by Bigfoot and the rest of America’s Premier monster trucks all alone.  We’re working in a limited window here, is what I’m saying.  Please email me back.
