You work at Metropolitan - m4m (Williamsburg, Brooklyn) 25yr

2009-11-11T05:42:39-05:00

You usually work Tuesday nights but had the night off. Overheard you talking to a friend at the corner of the bar about a person you are in a relationship with that hasn't gone well. I just want to say that you are the hottest guy i have ever seen at that bar and if i was in that guys position i would have you in my arms right now. You said some of the sweetest things i have ever heard come out of someone's mouth about a person so heartbroken over. We spoke for a moment tonight... Came up and said goodbye before i left. Keep your head up. Between you & me it sounds like this guy has no idea what he is giving up.

I was ok at least I thought I was til I woke up to reach you and realized everything that has been going on. So I couldn't let my eyes go back rest, the thoughts of him fucking you took over my mind. You said it wasn't planned, you planned to get your ass up and go to his house you knew exactly what you was doing. The things you said you envy about me here's what I envy about you, I wish I had that cold mentality so I don't have to endure this pain and suffering. I wish I can just call up someone I know to fuck but can't I can't do that with out thinking of passing on my "troubles" I envy. Its fucking 3something AM your sound asleep the phone rang about 10 times how can you sleep so peacfully ? While I sit here and cry my heart out. How can you not have any remorse ? You said u went there talkin about getting back with me but somehow you found a way to let go of me easier that dick in pussy made you forget about me ughhh. Sorry you have no remorse that you just ruined the slight chance we have of ever getting back together. Its fucked up cause I'm the one sitting here crying quilty like I did wrong which I did but not physically. Part of me is afraid no one will love me again. who wants to deal with someone tainted granted theyll probably feel bad for me and stick around for a little just to get sick of it and leave me just like you did. Let me stop feeling sorry for myself I guess it could be worse right?

I can't stop thinking about her........

2009-11-11T01:01:18-05:00

I love this girl so much. I miss her, she's all I think about. I can't live without her. But I'm loosing her again. Too much has come between us in recent months, she called our situation "tragic". Their are too many circumstances keeping us apart but we make each other happy. When we're together life isn't so miserable. I miss you and i love you.

2009-11-11T00:45:09-05:00

I think of your 20 year old tshirts and the way you nervously push your hair back. I think of our hands touching and the dirt under my nails. I think of my arms wrapped around you and the restraint it took not to smell your hair. I think of the things on your wall I wish I had written. I think of your apartment and the 2 minutes I once spent there. I think of the records you played for me. I think of the cds I gave you. I think of you often and I wish you knew how much I loved you.

Irish Guy on messed up G train - w4m (carol gardens) 23yr

2009-11-11T00:37:50-05:00

Hey,

we just chatted on the G train for a while. You were wearing a cap with a clover on it and I was wearing a crazy green coat... I should have asked for your number, but didn't... You are very cute and most likely have a girlfriend, but if you don't and you see this, let's get a drink sometime in the neighborhood we both despise leaving :)
I will never make fun of "missed connections" again... does it ever work?

C train Brooklyn-bound, 9:30pm(ish) - m4m 29yr

2009-11-11T00:20:46-05:00

Tuesday night around 930-10pm on the C train headed to Brooklyn. I was sitting down, bearded guy with brown hair with a blue shirt and brown sweater. You were standing, very short dark hair, beard, tight jeans. You were reading a magazine, I was listening to an iPod. I couldn't help but look your way a few times and caught your eye a few times.

If this is you and you're down for a beer, let me know. And describe that belt buckle of yours so I'm sure it's you.

You Were Walking Your 'Cute' Dog - m4w (Park Slope) 32yr

2009-11-10T23:46:35-05:00

Tuesday morning in Park Slope you were walking your little dog. I said your dog was cute and knelt down to pet him or her.

What was I doing?

I have to admit, you were much cuter than your little friend. If you happen to be single, let's be one of those obnoxiously adorable couples. Be forewarned though, I'm into very dirty sex! ;)

2009-11-10T23:27:25-05:00

We waited for the L together at Union Sq, and you got off at Lorimer. You were wearing a red wool coat and black boots, bobbing your head to your ipod which I found especially adorable. I should've said hi at the station when I had the chance, but I gave you a smile on your way out at Lorimer.

You're very cute, if by chance you actually read this I'd like to buy you a drink

Flat on the G - m4w (G Train)

2009-11-10T23:24:59-05:00

We were Queens bound together when I asked why you weren't riding your bike. I put down my book when I noticed you, but never asked if you wanted to talk sometime later. Would you like to get some coffee?

Curly Haired Blatino Dude on the B26 - m4m (Bed-Stuy) 37yr

2009-11-10T23:00:16-05:00

All I can say is WOW!

Tonight waited for the B26 downtown Bk (Jay Street). I talked to a friend a bit before getting on the bus you stood next to me.
You: Sexy shorty, curly hair, well dressed, texting on your blackberry.
Me; Black dude in a suit, carrying groceries from Trader Joe's.
I appreciate your intensity.

If you see this and want to meet up for coffee or something let me know.

So I know this is you tell me what stop we both got off at.

F train to Smith-9th - m4m (Carroll Gardens)

2009-11-10T22:46:17-05:00

Saw you on the train again tonight and we sat beside each other. As the train filled we had to get really close and I think we both liked it. Unfortunately, I had to cut it short and I got off on Smith-9th. Would like to meet you and maybe grab a beer.

Taking a long shot here, but if you see this let me know what I was wearing tonight.

re: Chance - w4m - m4w

2009-11-10T22:42:31-05:00

Is that for me?

If such a lovely creature breathes the same air as me, what choice do I have?

But I'll save the sweet talk for when it's more meaningful....in person. I don't want to cheapen the sentiment.

maybe it was you? - w4m (F train BK bound) 30yr

2009-11-10T22:16:45-05:00

Is it weird that as I sit on the train, I assess people based on their potential sexual skill?

That guy looks like he would be particularly attentive to my nether regions.

He will snore when it's over.

He will probably push my head down for a BJ but will acquiesce when I do the same. We will both roll over unsatisfied.

Maybe it depends on the music I'm listening to or where I am during my cycle. Or how long its been.

Right now, I would fuck 50% of them? That's a guess and an assumption that humanity depends on it.

Gay.

Too cute.

Short but aforementioned attentive guy. Experience has shown : short = huge.

Lady.

Lady dressed as man.

No thank you. Appreciate the offer. Believe me, I do. Its been awhile, but no thanks.

Seersucker jacket. Cute but high maintenance. Been there. Haven't done Him, but done "that".

Bike helmet. Little too "safe". I like risks. I mean, I did just say I would do 50% on a NY F train?

Why does that girl look at me like that? Competitive over him? Sorry Miss, I win. We're wearing matching noise canceling headphones.

Next!

New stop, new entries.

Who's up?

Skull cap? Cute, but 5 years ago.

Briefcase? Not interested in my Dad.

Trucker hat? I should kill you now. You have a life of pain coming to you anyway. Consider it a favor.

We're outside now. Maybe I'll just do the skyline. It's what I love about this city anyway. Do you think he's single? Does it matter? When its true love, does it ever matter?

Get out of the way!

He's mine, bitch. STEP OFF.

Good God, another seersucker jacket. It's November people. Wearing that now doesn't make you look like an islander. It makes you look stupid and cold.

Nice try though, I do love islanders.

You got on at 14th st and got off at Bedford Ave. You were standing in front of me. I wanted to say something but was too exhausted.
Maybe we can go out sometime, if you are interested.

2009-11-10T21:30:38-05:00

Girl at The Garden - m4w (Greenpoint) 25yr

2009-11-10T21:17:00-05:00

It was around 8:15 tonight and you were waiting to check out behind my roommate. You glanced over and stared each other down for a good few seconds. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to shout "DRAW!" or walk over and say hello. After some deliberation, I opted for the second. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a zoo in there, so I couldn't make it through to you. So, being the man that I am, I've decided to take it to the internet.

You: Brown hair, 5'5ish, standing behind a redheaded roommate
Me: Brown hair, brown eyes, little bit of stubble, in a tattered brown/green military jacket

Bed - w4m (Williamsburg) 39yr

2009-11-10T21:03:07-05:00

I see glimpses of you in so many. Tall, strong, smart, ambitious, and a smile that makes me completely defenseless.

You see, you're the only man I could ever love. Not because you're gorgeous (although that helps), but because I know you're the kind of man who knows that while I don't need to be "kept", I need to be cared for. I can rely on you, I can trust you. You are the kind of man that knows that it isn't about your wallet, but you are an ample provider if I need it. You're the kind of man who knows he can have any woman he wants, but no longer needs to prove that to himself or his friends. You're the kind of man that knows that integrity and character aren't just catchphrases, they're words you live. And because you are all these things, we understand each other. We know that a man should be a man and a woman should be a woman and that it's that way for a reason.

I'm ready when you are. I'm going to bed.

Blonde girl watching me play Brickbreaker past Thurs. - m4w (L train Union Sq to Bedford ) 28yr

2009-11-10T20:24:02-05:00

We were trying to fit in a crammed L on the Union Square platform and we decided we're both too skinny to fit in or it would be inappropriate to hump each other without consent.

Eventually you sat down next to me on the next train and watched me play on my BBerry.

Me: Thin, tall dark hair, beard, dress pants and grey stripped hoodie.

You: Tall, blonde pony tail, white jacket, oh well, maybe I wasn't paying that much attention to detail but I certainly think you're super cute.

If you think we would make good enemies feel free to jingle.

I was wearing black pants and a grey zip up sweatshirt and had on a steers cap.. we both had out our phones and had texted during the ride- u made me so horny during that ride! please answer this add=)

Whew, that felt a lot better than I anticipated! ...Furthermore, I can't believe I fell for your tactics...it's low and what's worse you try to play it off as if your intentions were always just to be friends. I go along with your "how's it going" emails only because well, I'm amiable and like writing in general. But honestly...

Fuck you!

Wow, that felt good the second time around too! :D

This is a long shot but, we were both on the B train to manhattan round 2:30pm today. You looked interesting, reading a book I like, I wanted to suggest another to you, but didn't quite have the balls to say something. It was kinda funny when the old man kept trying to talk to you, made me smile. I was sitting on the other side of the car, tall, brunette. If your single, straight and interested, ... get back to me.

Ok, so you sat in front of me... I was wearing a jacket over a red american apparel hoodie, black pants, white shoes...square pattern scarf...I was reading a book....you were reading one too....

anyway, we got off at court square and I crossed the street then you followed not too long after...god i hate the traffic pattern there....

Seems odd, but I'll give this a shot since we *seemed* to catch each other's eye (hopefully it wasn't just me).

Saw you on the train A train coming into Manhattan. Believe you had switched from the F train from Brooklyn onto the A train at Jay St stop. Assume you live in BK?

You had on a polka dot shirt, you're tall, long-ish brown hair and nice nerdy glasses (compliment :).

Me: Dark hair, beard, glasses, tweed jacket.

2009-11-10T11:11:39-05:00

Your choice to leave me - and your reasoning - hurt me. Mostly because you left me for a reason that is so subject to change. I began to wonder if you just didnt believe that we would EVER be on the same (or at least a similar page) professionally.

Upon further contemplation, though...if your career path/pursuit of what you consider success holds so much weight with you that it affects your feelings about being with me - then we two are better off apart...

While I could not imagine myself ever wanting to be your friend (for multiple reasons), I wish you happiness and all of the things it takes for your happiness to blossom. If our paths ever cross again somehow, I will treat you as I always have - warmly.

I write here because I am holding a lot in my heart. I have decided against maintaining contact with you...but I do hold out some hope that you chance upon this message.

Goodbye.

I find it interesting that there are constantly these posts from women saying that the men of New York are scared. However as a man who is not bashful at all, it has been my experience this year since getting out of a long relationship that women my age are completely frightened of love and commitment - turning dark and hiding away when they start to feel something real.
At least I have learned in this dating world that I actually do have most of my life together especially compared to all the lost women of brooklyn and the city.
C'est la vie.
It's okay, I don't mind, I'll just keep searching for that girl with the Corazon De Oro.

-------
If you have been rejected many times in your life, then one more rejection isn't going to make much difference. If you're rejected, don't automatically assume it's your fault. The other person may have several reasons for not doing what you are asking her to do: none of it may have anything to do with you. Perhaps the person is busy or not feeling well or genuinely not interested in spending time with you. Rejections are part of everyday life. Don't let them bother you. Keep reaching out to other. When you begin to receive positive responses then you are on the right track. It's all a matter of numbers.
Count the positive responses and forget about the rejections.

Hello my love. Just wanted to remind you that I love you with all my soul.
You put me in a strange funk. Indeed that little scolding you gave me last time out really hurt my feelings, as you make me more emotional then a menopausal stepmother.
But the last meeting made up for it. That was the best hour I had in all of 2009. I wish you had time for me to stay all day. Though I did not act that way. Lovely Rita was about to cost me some major cash. Are intuitions knew and I vanished in a flash. The touch you give has held my soul until today, now I need you whole. All of you. I will uproot my comforts at the flick of a switch. Have you ever had this itch?
Thanks, you're my hero:) You are the only one I dream of. A gift from our father, a gift from above.

I don't care if the sky is falling as long as there is you.
I don't care about rhyme or reason without you I'm blue.
Take me baby for who I am and who we'll be when two,
We both have so much to learn I know we'll see this thru.

Love me for you
<3

or was it a frame? i wasn't really paying much attention to what exactly you were carrying...anyway, i see you around the neighborhood all the time (usually on grand) and i think you're adorable, you always have a outfit on (usually with a beanie) and seem to be in a rather good mood. i've tried to make eye contact and say hi a few times, but my efforts have been futile so far. i know it's a shot in the dark but if you happen to read this, i'd really like to get to know you and hang out sometime.

Also feel free to knock on my door next time, and you can smoke that in my yard. Pigs don't bust in the back yard.

2009-11-10T01:08:20-05:00

You are so beautiful that I had to keep stealing peeks at you while we waited at the Bergen Street platform for the G train tonight, about 930pm. Wonderful, black hair in mega-do curls, a fish tattoo on your neck, white tiger skirt and silver slippers. I think you're gorgeous, even if I am far less a fashionable gent.

I know you saw me looking at you several times before I had to exit the G three stops into the best train ride of my life. Email me. I'd love to take you to lunch and just talk.

7th Avenue F Station Last Night - m4w (Park Slope) 27yr

2009-11-10T00:37:12-05:00

The scene:

Around 10:30 last night. I'm walking toward the end of the station and you are, too.

You're gorgeous, and not just from being a tall, svelte brunette with ravishing hair. It's the kind of goreous that makes me think you could be important person in my life. The kind that doesn't happen every day, or every year.

I sit down at the same bench as you, but on the opposite end. I'm not a creep or anything, and I'm pretty shy anyhow. You're enveloped in a book. An older gentleman sits between us. I try to steal looks over at you in the ensuing minutes, and you look over a few times, too.

The train pulls in. We get in through different doors, and you sit at a window seat facing the other direction. Except you don't! You put your head against the window, facing anywhere-but-away-from-me.

I'm going for it. I check something on the map before I sit down, and make sure to sit on the other side of the window seats, across and facing the opposite direction.

We lock eyes for a second. "What's up?" I say, the most rhetorical and effective of the old pick-up lines.

No response. You just sort of naturally go back to reading your book. "Huh?" I ask myself.

So I sit there for a minute. In addition to being shy, I'm a low-talker. So maybe you didn't hear me.

I'm only taking the train for three stops, so I better make the most of this time.

I look at your book for minute. "What are you reaidng?"

No response again.

I get off at Carrol Street and possibly never see you again.

So what happened there? Did you not hear me, BOTH times, or did you blow me off? Or do you just give off signals constantly? Are you a talk tease?

To the woman who broke my heart in all of ten minutes.

Perfectly conflicted - w4m

2009-11-09T22:42:16-05:00

Unsure if your allusion to waking up, together, is to the fact that I left you to wake up yesterday, alone. And wishing I'd left you my number...

One more chance please? :( - m4w 26yr

2009-11-09T22:27:56-05:00

Your my soulmate, the love of my life. I know things have been complicated the last few months. I love you, I need you, you make the emptiness disssapear. So I fucked up last night, became a little jealous, I'm sorry. Just the thought of you with another man kills me inside. You're the only reason I wake up everyday and try to be a better person. Without you I am nothing, I don't want anyone else. Life's not fair and we both got dealt shitty hands but you make me forget about it. The happiest days of my life were with you. I'm not giving up, I'm going to do whatever I can to make it right. But if you want me to back off I will, it'll hurt like hell but I will leave you alone. I'll always put your happiness first that's most important. Just know I love you and I miss you.

L train to Grand, you in tan - m4w (Grand St) 26yr

Kind eyes, cute hat, glasses. You were with a friend. - m4w (C Train to Brooklyn) 29yr

2009-11-09T22:17:31-05:00

You boarded the C train somewhere near the West 4th stop, with a friend. You sat near the center of the train, had a lively conversation. You wore a cute soft hat, greenish or blue-green, with medium long light brown hair overflowing. Great glasses, highlighting kind eyes; an adorable smile. You wore a scarf to match the hat, a neutral color coat and blue jeans. From your bag you produced a rather large, worn paperback book to show your friend.

I wore a black zip up hoodie, a gray hat and somewhat imposing headphones. I left the train at the Clinton-Washington stop just as a rather personable guitarist started his set near where you sat. I believe your friend may have exited the train at this stop too.

Anyway. You were cute. And expressive. It made me smile.
If this by some miracle is you, let's have a chat. You seemed the like the only person worth talking to on the train.

I Truly Do Miss You 47yr

2009-11-09T21:33:12-05:00

You opened it, Good luck. Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they love you. Something good will happen
to you at 1:00PM-4:40PM tomorrow, it could be anywhere. Tonight at midnight they will remember how much they
loved you as well. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow, a good one. If you break the chain you will be
cursed with relationship problems for the next 2 years. Karma. If there is someone you once loved (or still do)
and can't get them out of your mind, repost this in another city within the next five minutes. It's amazing how
it works!
If you really miss someone a past love and can't seem to get them off your mind...then repost this titled as "I Truly Do Miss You."

Whomever you are missing will surprise you.
Don't break this, for tonight at midnight, your true love will realize they love you.
And...something great will happen to you tomorrow.

Karma: If there is someone you loved or still do and can't get them out of your mind, re-post this is another city.
Tonight they will remember how they love you as well.
You will get the shock of your life tomorrow

on my 6-8:45 entrance worker shift you happened by -- i had on a flower dress and you a powder-blue shirt that accentuated your brilliant blue eyes. we exchanged a moment's glance and i thought that i would see you on the way out, but to no avail. anyway, just wanted to say hello in case you ever wanted to discuss our shared penchant for organic produce and communal labor models.

truly yours,

You poked me (literally!) on the M train Friday morning (8:15-ish) to tell me about your Okkervil River connection while I was listening to them on my ipod. So it just dawned on me that it was really cool and I should try to find you to learn more.

(turns out i'm not that weirdweird. just dumbdumb.)

iphone talk - m4m (Court Street) 43yr

2009-11-09T21:10:42-05:00

You stuck up a conversation about our iphones and we chatted for about 20 mins. We were in Starbucks enjoying the flexibility of our schedules around noon today. Your married with kids and I'm married with no kids. Did I sense a desire to talk about other things? Did I sense that we held that firm handshake for longer than normal? If this is you, email me with details of what we talked about.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge - m4w (Brooklyn Bridge) 26yr

2009-11-09T20:56:11-05:00

You wore a grey dress and blue stockings, kept a healthy clip Manhattan-bound on the walkers' half of the bridge until the view got the best of you. You stopped for a few iPhone photos of the Statue of Liberty and the traffic and water in between. I overtook you. Grey sweater and jeans. Black winter cap. I looked back once, but only fleetingly; cowardice. Perhaps you'll read this.

Little guy on L train Saturday, Late Afternoon - m4m (East Williamsburg) 33yr

2009-11-09T19:45:01-05:00

Hey,

I have never posted an ad in "missed connections" before, but I'm hoping this works.

It was late afternoon, early evening. I was traveling on the Brooklyn bound L train headed into Williamsburg.

You are a little guy, maybe 4'5", striking blue eyes, salt and pepper beard, balding, purple hoodie, blue jeans and white sneakers.

I was the bearish black guy standing in front of you, trying to steal glaces when you weren't looking.

I think you are so hot. I was taken by surprised by the strong attraction I had.

You got off the train at Lorimer with another little person.

I don't even know if you are into guys, but I really was quite smitten.

If you are out there, send me a message.

you (black hair, bangs, big white scarf, black coat, little brown shoes) were standing ahead of me (denim shirt, big black glasses, beard) in line at rachel's at around 6:30pm; you were buying a lot of groceries and i was standing there thinking i'd ask you if you'd like a hand but you walked away and it was too fast and i lost it, so here's this instead.
maybe some other time?

We both got on the F train at Bergen around 12:30 on Sunday. You caught my eye but you we're immersed in Moby Dick & your iPod so I didn't want to disturb.

You had on jeans, a black North Face coat, and bronze shoes.

I was carrying my hockey stick, wearing jeans & a black shirt. I got off at East Broadway & you kept going.

Will we hit it off? Who knows! But send me a message & let's find out.

Halloween Night Metro Red Plaid Farmers Shirt - m4m (Brooklyn) 26yr

2009-11-09T13:37:32-05:00

Sup killer, Whats ur name?, is What I should of said to you when we first caught eyes and smiled at each other while waiting for drinks but you were chatting with a female friend and I was with an out of town friend. We caught eyes again and then you went to the outside patio and hung out in the corner for a while and then you vanished. I thought about doing this for a while now and finally said F-it. Why not give it a shot. If you do get this then there is hope or something like it for craigslist postings. BTW what were you supposed to be for Halloween anyway. I never did catch a clear shot of your whole costume. My guess was: A corn fed white guy from the mid west. So yeah your pretty hot and I would like to get to know you more if your down for that. If nothing else maybe a friendship can come from this.

I was the aviator walking up the steps behind you on the way to the party. It was around midnight, there were lots of stairs, you mentioned that your thighs were burning... You looked gorgeous and fun so I wanted to wanted to ask you to dance once we got inside but I didn't see you after that. Still on my mind... If you are feeling curious and brave I would love to meet you.

Dancing at Brooklyn Bowl on Saturday - m4w (Brooklyn Bowl) 26yr

2009-11-09T12:11:08-05:00

It was around 11:30 or so, after the bands had stopped playing. You and your 4 or so girlfriends started dancing close to the stage, and I couldn't take my eyes off you. You looked to be either half black or latina, bangs and long hair (which you had pulled back). You were wearing a shirt that looked gray in that lighting, but could have been something else. It rode really low down your back. Black skirt, stockings. At one point a guy was hitting on you, but you were texting on your iPhone and didn't seem that interested. Anyway, I thought you were amazingly sexy. That's about all : )

Beautiful girl at Beefsteak - m4w (Bellhouse)

Oh hi cute boy on the L train, I've seen you twice now in the morning, once last week and once today. I wish it weren't so awkward to try to talk to someone on the train. You wear purple converse and big gold headphones and have curly brown hair and are about 5'8"? I have the platinum blonde shoulder length hair with bangs and probably stared at you a little obviously. Major missed connection action, say hi next time?

You walked out of a churchyard and up Washington Avenue to the G stop, wearing pale green parachute pants, sunglasses, and, I assume, a thong. I was walking behind you enjoying the view. Just thought you'd like to know your ass looked great this morning, and thanks for the inspiration.

We were penpals back in the late 70's and early 80's. You used to live at 1205, East 96th in Brooklyn. You had dreams of becoming an EMT. I believe you went to Nazareth High School. I was digging through old papers and saw all your letters. You were a huge part of my adolescence. I have thought about you over the years and curious to know how life turned out for you.
