Hey You Way Cute Smoking Girl at the Dr. Dog Show

You know what's hot? Way cute girls who like the same bands you do. And exchange glances with you. While smoking. Looks like we had some hot near-action at Mercy Lounge on Saturday night.

dear way cute girl at dr dog the other night,

we exchanged glances outside while having cigarettes before the show. then, i was having yet another cigarette after the show and looked over and hey! there you were again, right next to me. but when i was about to chat you up about what a legendary show we just saw some dude you and your friend knew came up and got your attention and seemed to really want to keep it. and you can't really jump into something like that, and it was cold and i was done smoking anyhow.

the point is: goddamnit.

thanks,

boy from the show who thinks you're cute

Again, not much identifying information to go on. Dudes: Step it up. A missed connection ad is no place for your interior monologue! Damn.

Have really enjoyed some CREAM posts as of late! However this shit is kind of stupid, (no- really fucking stupid) you guys. If you don't have the balls to go up to someone 'you'd like to be hot with' and introduce yourself, you don't deserve to get hot with them in teh first place.

i'm wondering if these are intentionally vague just to improve the chances of a response from any number of girls who may have been in the vicinity.

Even blogs have slow news days.

I am feelin' this one. He was gonna talk to her, but someone jumped in & he couldn't join the conversation! (Unless he's just fooling himself, never had the balls to talk to her, & that's just his excuse! How will we ever know?)

Seen it many times: he stood around trying to get up the courage to talk to her, got caught staring, was embarrassed and gave up, then later saw some much more confident guy chatting her up and chalked up his lame timidity to a cockblock. Loser.

missed connections typically seem to be an open window into the hopeless optimism and utter delusion the male psyche has to offer most of the time. i'm probably stating the obvious (and i'm sure this is the case with most of these) but even if the girl in question were reading this, i sincerely doubt she'd have any idea it were her. And that's only partially due to the fact there isn't a single bit of identifying information to indicate it was her. Even if he'd described her to a T, i'd still be surprised if she had any idea what he was talking about.

Dude, exactly, dude.
This is biology people. We are monkeys. Assert yourself and go say something funny. Rock your courtship display but don't be one of those tools who slouches around with a bad haircut and waits for the girlies to flock. The trick is to TRULY not give a shit (and occasionally bathe). Posting a pathetic plaintive paragraph such as the above is the epitome of giving a shit. "Exchanging glances.."?! Give me a fuckin' break! You DESERVED to get cockblocked.
PS - noticed Steve posted this instead of Tracy. I'm hoping it was posted for general mockery, in which case, well done sir.

I adore these missed connections posts. Little one-bite narrative bon-bons. And Steve, you're such an ossum writer in the same ways Tracy is that I didn't even notice.
