I've been there. You're on the T, cute guy, cute smile, and then BAM off he goes to buy the new Animal Collective at Newbury Comics. I ask myself, "what if he was the love of my life?" So, we scour and search, hoping he posted a missed connection only to find that the only people who use that god-forsaken site are girls. (I mean, i've done but for real the amount of W4M is CRAZYYYY, reign it in ladies.) But, the kicker of it all is: What happens AFTER the response? See, that's what I don't understand. How is it comfortable to respond to a post that probably isn't even about you anyway. With a title as vague as "GIRL WITH RED COAT GREENLINE SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND," how am I supposed to know that this man is clearly in love with ME couldn't stop thinking about MY red jacket (understandable, it's so awesome but STILL). Do I respond only to (and this is great too) 'describe myself' and then have it not be me? Or, something I think is worse, what if they just flat out don't READ the site? Waste all my energy under this blanket of false hope and disguise just to have it kicked in the face by someone who dares to imagine that someone doesn't fall in LOVE with them every day? Grab some self esteem, check the site, and move on mang.
Why, even though we can FEEL A CONNECTION with someone (supposedly) can we not just walk up to them and say so?
Is "Did you drop this receipt from Tedeschi's?" so hard to use to start a conversation?
I'm confused, just like everyone who reads these vague love letters.
