Missed Connections / Lost Lit Connections

Did anyone else read the Missed Connections on CraigsList?

Have you ever wondered what happened to a person you used to chat with on Lit? Use this board to describe that person and see if you can reconnect!

I’ll start. You worked as a manager out east, had an interest in the fringe and occult, and last time we spoke you were getting new glasses.

hey...

In 1975, July, the I-10 interstate hwy just east of Gainesville. Me and a buddy of mine were hitch hiking west. You and a guy and a girl got dropped off at the sign, they went north you were going west like me and my friend. You stole my aviator mirrored sunglasses. You gave me chlamydia and the fuck though good was NOT worth it.

Maybe she couldn’t see you...?

Maybe not, but maybe she will see this post!

Who is your missed connection?

She would be a fool not to look.

My missed connection?

You lived on the other side of the cornfield from me. You were driven by mind and heart, analysis and curiosity. You spoke to me in a way meant only for me to hear. We made plans for me to make you dinner and give you a full body massage, and I hope I don’t have to wonder forever where you are.

Tom-

This post is for a friend who no longer wants to have a Lit presence, but always worried and wondered about a gentleman she met on here and his child’s well being. She also wanted to explain her abrupt absence.

Missed Connection- Your name was Tom. You drove a Porsche SUV, You had a child who suffered from severe autism. You lived in Chicago suburbs. You were happily married. You and my friends children shared the same name. You only spoke on Skype and never met nor intended to and one day she disappeared.

Do they even still HAVE "Missed Connections" on Craigslist? I thought they took all that shit away a few years back, along with all the personal ads (which were mostly scammers/bots anyway.)

I haven't looked at that website for years.

With that said...
...I see you post on the forums. I think you are pretty hot, and I love your posts. But, You are probably flooded with creepy-stalky e-mails from desparate horny dudes. So for that reason, I vow that I will not be one of those. I'll just wait until you PM me. But on the other hand, you probably live clear across the country from me anyway, so it wouldn't work. Anyway, stay healthy and thanks for being rad.

There is still a Missed Connections part on the site, but it isn't what it used to be. Good luck with your Missed Connection!

You were very young, worked as a cashier in the store that I always brought my groceries at. One day I noticed when you changed your hair, and I told you it looked pretty. From that moment on you looked at me as if you wanted to have my children. It was as if you had never received a compliment before.

I wonder how things were for you and how your life turned out.

Does anyone have any lost connections from Lit?

You wrote a story just for me about my deepest, darkest real life fantasy. It's since been taken down, and your emails bounced back.

 

[lovetoread]

yeah, i have a lot of missed connections on lit

there are some i miss so very much

but just as a heads up, aint nobody gonna follow any rules here on the gb. if you want nice, you may want to visit one of the others instead of reprimanding anyone who doesnt post as you wish

 

[MNGuy]

I was driving on the highway, you drove on the same highway six months ago, and I missed you, bad timing.

 

[bwmom]

That's a shame. Did you at least save the story?

He was kind enough to send me a copy before it was published, and I reread it often.

Don’t really have one from Lit. They have all gone the way they were intended, even if I didn’t really like the direction at the time. In ‘real life’, the most memorable is below...

During high school I was working as a desktop publisher in my family’s store. He was a regular customer I worked with for the local Anglers & Hunters Association. Probably about 8 years my senior. We had a great rapport even from day one and I was young enough that I couldn’t hide the blushes and nervous excitement whenever he came in. But he was sweet and kind and never made me feel uncomfortable about it while we worked on projects he brought me. We talked about a lot of stuff beyond work, including my college selections as I got older, etc. Everyone I worked with, including my family knew how over the moon I was about him. He had a girlfriend, and even though he was respectful of that, there was interest on his side, I could feel it. I was just too young. He went away for a summer, and I got my first serious boyfriend. When he came back in the fall, I was 18 now, and I remember being so overjoyed to see him. Then I found out he and his girlfriend at split over the summer. He asked me out for coffee. I was devastated! It felt like that was my one chance but I already had a boyfriend. When I told him I couldn’t, I remember this glimmer of what I figure was regret. He wished me well with school and then he kind of drifted away over the months to come.

Ugh. I feel that teenage heartbreak again now that I think of him. He’d have made the perfect first everything.

I have one.

She commented on a story I wrote a long time ago under a different username, we wrote back and forth, became friends, and shared everything about each others lives for awhile. I was wed, so I felt guilty and stopped, then a few months later started up again with her. I think we conversed for a year or more with me sending her a homemade gift as she was that much of a friend.

We were on opposing ends of the country so never met in person, but it was beautiful just the same.

When I got divorced I was available, but chose a lady closer than across the country, but should have at least flown out to meet her. I always wondered how she fared, if she got married and had the kids she wanted. There was a mass shooting in her city and I always wondered how she fared through that?

In this weird way it was really the perfect relationship since everything was in writing or calling, so very few misspoken words, and the sex well scripted with no awkward wet spot afterwards like in real life!

YUP, I read!!

 

[bwmom]

That's cool. I think I can guess the subject matter. If you want to pm it to me I'd love to read it.

You can, can you?

 

[youngladformommy]

Mc !

All the time. I find it fascinating!!

Years ago I met a woman here from Ohio. She was a server and pharmacy tech until she left for medical school. I’m not sure why I am suddenly remembering you, but hope all went well!

Hopefully she’s still on and will see your well wishes!
