Can You Date On Craigslist

Searching for Missed Connections

For those of you who do not know "Missed Connections," it is part of the personals section in Craiglist (which is the famous online bulletin-board-like forum). In "Missed Connections," users can post ads seeking people with whom they feel they experienced a Missed Connection. A classic example could be a bus ride in which two people shared a moment. Later one yearns to know more about the person with whom they shared this special moment and thus writes up an advert.

Something like, "To the beautiful girl sitting across from me on the bus. Thanks for the instructions to the best coffee house in the neighborhood. I'd like to have a cafe with you there. I think you're lovely."

The idea is that the supposed connection was so strong that both parties feel inclined to check/post on Craigslist. Finding each other in the sea of posts takes the once missed connection and makes it a real connection.

Here is a great piece by Rachael Picard describing her adventures on Craigslist's Missed Connections.
