Remember Missed Connections? Craigslist’s personal section was not only used by lonely stranger danger booty calls but it was a popular site where you could reach out semi-anonymously to the “cute girl on the N-Judah” who was reading Eat Pray Love on your commute to the FiDi. Or hit up that guy at Badlands you made out with but forgot if his name was Mark, Matt or Max. A tiny desperate attempt to connect with that one person you shared a fleeting moment.

Well Pride weekend is now over and the Missed Connections posts are finding their way onto Craigslist. I figured I’d share my favorite ones, and who knows, maybe even help someone find that beautiful stranger with the neon cock ring they wish they’d talked to.

Pride used underwear – m4m (downtown / civic / van ness)

Hi guys 😉 we have a bunch of Underwears and socks we are willing to wear and sell worn for 24 hours including our morning run. Plus extra if you want a photo of us wearing the underwears or socks. Please dont be shy with any special requests, we’re open to most things :).

Muni – Hailey the Cusp – m4w (Fulton Bus Route)

7:30p – We took the 5 and got held up behind a gay pride ‘protest’
Sat side-by-side and pulled your chart on TimePassages – Aquarius/Pisces Cusp
It’d be nice to connect some more… The bonfire was mesmerizing

bleached hair with pink&blue stripes, playing frisbee at Pride (downtown / civic / van ness)

I am mesmerized by your smile
and majorly attracted to your body, those pants are hot
you invited me to play frisbee today, but I declined, instead watched you and your friend for a bit.
My hat was on backwards, I had shorts and a jacket on, and would love to hear from you.
Please get in touch

BART ride home from SF Pride – w4w (Dublin/Pleasanton Train)

I was with my two friends, long curly blonde hair, blue/teal shirt. You were sitting on the floor in a knit top made up of women in bikinis and little pearl necklaces. I wished we could have talked more, I felt very drawn to you. Did you feel it too? I didn’t even get your name…

You made out with my wolf backpack. U made my night let’s be fb freind – m4m (castro / upper market)

Castro Saturday night for Pride, maybe around 11 PM. We were in the pizza by the slice place. You had brown hair, a dark blue shirt and like red blue and yellow sunglasses hanging on your collar. I think maybe you had an accent but I was kinda tipsy so not entirely sure. You started making out with my fluffy wolf backpack and called him “your love” haha it was so funny. Def one of the highlights of our night. You seem like a wild silly good time and we should totally follow eachother on fb or IG or snapchat.

Haha hope you don’t think this is weird, I just love meeting new people and when I find colorful personalities I love to add them cuz they always have the best posts and post things about cool stuff going on locally I didn’t know about. It’s just good to grow your connections.

If you want to see the video I took of you kissing my wolf it’s on my Instagram
