Like anybody else, I enjoy a good love story. But what I like the most about love stories are the beginnings - the butterflies, the anticipation of the next time you'll talk to or see your kind of S.O., the are we/aren't we dichotomy, wondering if you just saw your kind of S.O. standing outside your bedroom window at midnight.
What's better than the beginning of a relationship? The awkward pseudo-stalking that sometimes happens before the beginning of a relationship that could VERY EASILY turn the whole encounter less Notebook-ey and more Texas Chainsaw Massacre-y. These are the tender if not sometimes terrifying/gross moments you'll find in Missed Connections on Craigslist.

Naturally, I was reading through these this morning to make myself feel better about staying in bed all day when I had a realization: Missed Connections is just a series of embarrassingly Missed Macguffins in the sad underbelly that is 21st century dating rituals. Because who doesn't want to tell their future grandchildren that grandpa found grandma on the same website where he got a good deal on that armoire they left to you in the will?
This post celebrates these beautiful fear filled optimists boldly hoping against all odds that they will find love the old brash in'd way and avoiding the scary but normal by comparison world of online dating apps.
Customer Service: A Love Story
Because a smile and a glance is never just about good customer service skills.
The Lost Berenstain Bear Family Story
Because a smile and a glance is never just about good customer service skills.
Papa Bear, you rambunctious fellow! Casual Sensual waving and functioning eyesight lewd glances - what a scandal! The Berenstain family will never be the same.
Sidenote: Doesn't it seem like it was a missed opportunity to NOT spell Berenstain as Bearenstain?
Hey DJ, I was the guy smelling you in Lassie cosplay.
