And goes on road trips with and goes to weddings with and posts picture where they're kind of holding each other...

I Missed Connectioned this dude I saw at a restaurant. No response. I almost hate that I posted there.

ETA: I posted it a few days ago, not today.

Going to pick up my check tomorrow and maybe get something from the deli so I can see work crush. I actually look forward to working this Thursday, even though it's a terrible icky stupid place to work, because I get to close with him and flirt a little more. Mmm boys

Lol, I love the denial going on here. :)



I don't mean this to be offensive in the slightest, but does that ever work? I'm really curious. :)

If everyone reads missed connections as often as I do, say once a year, my calculations are that it works practically never. I like the idea though.

I know at least a few people who have met people through Missed Connections. None of then ended up dating, though.

I have posted three in my life and never received a response.

Occasionally I've done something and was like 'I'm totally getting missed connectioned for that!' but no dice.

this weekend! i'll see him this weekend. but also i am afraid he was going to ask for my number at the race this weekend then my ex was with me...

It didn't work this time, obvs.

So I asked this guy out a couple days ago. I ran into him tonight (small town, god dammit) and he totally blew me off. He was, literally, all over the place. Totally drunk. I finally got him to stand next to me at the bar and I asked him, (because he wasn't engaging me in convo), "So ... you're a chef?" and he said yeah and walked away. fork that guy. Tonight was a bad night overall.

There's a former ppker who met her love via missed connections and I believe they recently had a baby.

WHAAAAAAAAT. That is utter and complete bullshiitake. I'm sorry. Totally fork that guy.

Whoa! That's incredible.

Yeah, kinda lame. This town is too forking small.

I find myself saying that a lot lately.

Resolved. I'm going to ask out a woman who I know from work next time I see her. She seems super nice, and funny and pretty and I've totally ignored her. Why? Because she's seemed vaguely interested in me and that's a major turn-off. I've got to stop being attracted to people who I can't have, whether they're in relationships, soon to be my boss, or a million miles away on this site. I've got to recognize the awesome women who are right in front of me. So I'm going to ask her out. That is if I don't turn into a total wuss, which is a definite possibility because I'm a little drunk right now and operating on liquid courage.

You've posted about it here. We'll nag you until you just do it to appease us.

Meanwhile, why is my best friend such a dick when it comes to blatantly ignoring how much I like him? I mean, he knows it. It's not a secret, but does he really have to go and flirt with EVERY girl in front of me? Does he really have to bemoan the fact that NO ONE cares about him? Really? Maybe I'm just being oversensitive, but it's this kind of stuff that makes me really wish I could hate him. Except that I can't. Being around him makes me feel awful and not being around him makes me feel awful, and it really just completely sucks.

NOT TO BE A DOWNER ON EVERYONE'S HAPPY CRUSHES. Sorry.

Work crush is cuting me to death. I thought I was awkward asking him out. Tonight at work he was like, "So, I still have your number, so whenever you wanna go out again..." And he was blushing. Then he brings up that on the 24th, work lets out early, which I guess means he'd like to go out on the 24th.

I'm hoping to get in lots of time with him before my surgery. And then after, of course.

PPK, I demand you find me a real crush now. Right now on the list:

- Mars, because everyone should have a crush on him
- A friend in another country who is adorable
- A professor with an awesome brain

NONE OF THESE IS VIABLE REAL LIFE CRUSH MATERIAL. SOS. Make me have stutter-y rambling blush-y feelings about someone.

I completely disagree. I don't know Mars, but I'm sure he's crushable, and I have a crush on an awesome punk rock professor I've never met, and I'm pretty sure that is viable crush material. Not, you know...graduatable to relationship type of crush, but completely viable as 'butterflies in stomach' crush material. *vehement nod*

Anyhow, sometimes it's nice to have out of town crushing to avoid embarrassing crushing. Like, 'can't work because I'm too busy obsessing' kind of crushing. That's tough. I know, I've been there.

so this might not be the best situation in the world, is there a way you could spend some time apart? it's real hard to get over someone when you're around them all the time, and based on this he either is a.)really really upsettingly unconcerned with your feelings or b.) completely oblivious to them. you don't have to hate him, but you certainly are under no obligation to pine for him. it sucks a lot and I hope you can find someone to crush on that isn't a butthead.

in other news, I have officially developed a stupid swoony hearts-in-eyes crush on this guy. sigh. glad we're friendos though, real good dude.

had his shirtsleeves rolled up the other day and I almost passed out*



*only sort of hyperbole, I also happened to be gross tired.

I mean, we go to a tiny college together and he's pretty close with my other best friends who also happen to be my roommates, we're in a music ensemble together, and we work together every day. So, no. But it's mostly okay, it's just a super weird and complex situation*. But break is coming up and I'm spending it in a different country, so that's some space.

*by super weird and complex I mean sitcom-worthy. Ferreals.

boober I know what you mean about arms. Work crush has sexy, sexy man arms. He's sexy even when he's doing the dishes. Okay, especially then. I'ma have to tell him sometime how sexy his arms are.

omg I know I can't evennnn ~swooonn~
forking can't deal so cute ugh.

*takes picture to better show off my arms*
