This Week’s Missed Connections is a little like a creepy uncle during the holidays. Sometimes he leaves notes around the house for you to find expressing his love interest. Okay, it’s not like that at all. But it’s just as weird, and pretty much the same gig.
Feel the love after the jump.
You — violinist, Suburban Station, Wednesday afternoon – m4w
You were playing violin at Suburban Station yesterday afternoon (11/28) — you asked if I had any requests. We talked for a while – you, an adorable, sweater-wearing Temple music therapy student named Jodi (or Jodie?) making some extra cash; me, an average-looking, blue-shirted, glasses-wearing lawyer named Jason, waiting for an increasingly delayed train. But more importantly, I listened because I like violin music . . . and because I was so smitten that I didn’t have the cojones to ask you for your number. And then you had to get to class . . .
Maybe we’ll see each other again – but if you’d rather not leave it to fate, and you’d like to go out sometime, you know how to get in touch. Regardless, I will cherish the nuts n’ cranberries.
Someone’s gonna be cherishing nuts.
saw you in cafeteria – w4m – 19
J & H Dining Hall. Around 6-6:30. You had on a blue plaid button down shirt. You were super cute. We made eye contact a few times, I wanted to approach you but didn’t
Ahh, nothing spells romance like a trip to the J&H food trough.
Temple U Sarbucks Barista – m4m – 22
Ive seen you there a few times now, and each time you make me want to order the easiest drink possible, but i also know that that wouldn’t get me noticed, so today (29 Nov.) i came in around noon. You are about 6ft, well built, beard, earrings. You were working the bar and kept glancing over at the line and i couldnt take my eyes off of you.
I ordered a grande-half-syrup-peppermint-sy-white-mocha, and you had to ask me just to make sure.
Sorry bout the complicated drink.
maybe you want to do coffee sometime?
cheers.
Are you doing coffee, or are you doing grande-half-syrup-peppermint-sy-white-mocha? One of these doesn’t sound a bit high maintenance.
R 3 Train Going to temple U – m4w – 29
I sit next to you this morning on the R 3 train Going to CC and temple U girl u have the hottt asss i like to know u more taking you out shoping dinner out mami get back to me
THE hot ass. It’s epic. And like Moses, he wants to part it like the Red Sea.
Paris, Rome, Milan – w4m – 19
You wanted to kiss me at the train station, you took me to the best makeout spot in the city, and you signed on just to say goodnight. I’m just confused about her (and why the two of you are anything). I’m also a little scared, which is why I’m here in the first place.
If you can accept all of me – the total space case, the girl who still sleeps with a teddy bear and has never been kissed, the one who reads CL personals because they’re cute, who loves musical theater but can’t stand to really do it, who can’t write an essay to save her life (or her grades, apparently), the girl who kicks ass in scrabble, who (mostly) loves her body, but has a look-don’t touch policy, yet who longs to touch and be touched, the girl who will often pick a good book over other options, and will correct your grammar till the day she dies – then get back to me, and let me know what’s going on. Otherwise, I need to get over this.
Dude, this is the one. Ditch that other chick!
Missed Connection w/my palm no more
YOU are a saint. And you knew what to do with it: You handed it in. Did you read my palm? (If you did: yeah, my poetry’s pretty bad.)
Or, perhaps I’ve finally accumulated enough Karma (do bad puns add or subtract?)
I thought I left it in the stacks, either in music or dissertations in the library. A thousand blessings on you: may your children do the laundry, may your parents understand you, may your camel never founder, may you never sag or deflate unless you want to, and if you’re a musician may Carnegie Hall simply insist on your presence. Thank you!

May all your books have bindings—library love affairs are way hot.

Give it all away Grizzly man. Give it all away.
Annenberg Hall Temple 4:30pm – m4w – 21
I saw you in the atrium of Annenberg Hall on tuesday around 4:30pm. You had long black hair and you were wearing a tan coat I think. I thought you were gorgeous. I noticed you were looking at me as I was looking at you. I had a black hat and a black sweatshirt on. I was going to introduce myself to you but you had left before I got the chance. I didn’t even get a chance to know your name or anything. Hopefully you see this or I run into you again in Annenberg Hall.
Your a comm student. Communicating with others is really all you have. It’s time to graduate from Missed Connections, my friend.
Tee, I like your hair better this way – m4w – 22
You have been sportin a few different wigs or hair pieces over the past couple of weeks and although I enjoyed seeing you with new looks, I prefer your natural locs. You are a natural hottie dressed up or down and I am totally feeling you. I know that I am a little young for you but you do NOT look your age at all! When you walked into class today with your hair up in that ponytail you looked not a day over 21 and you will be turning 34 tomorrow! (sorry, I overheard you whispering to your friend). No need to whisper that. Happy Birthday and know that you have a secret admirer
Let me know how this one goes. I’m totally intrigued.
tall pretty girl i just saw 3 times in 5 minutes – m4w – 21
first at the circ desk, then walked by you outside the tech center, then saw you in line for coffee. i always read these but have never posted one. since i’ll be in the tech center all day, and will need something to break up the time, i thought now would be a good time to try! let’s hang out. today!
oh yea, i had a vest on with a bag over my shoulder and stupid messy rain hair. get in touch, will you?
This one screams “DATE ME. PLEASE.”
Anderson Hall Computer lab – w4m – 22
you’re sitting in the third row from the top right about now.
i couldn’t help but notice your adorable almost-fro and then i realized you are probably the most attractive man on temple. if anderson wasn’t so crowded right now, i totally would have taken one of those girls’ seats on either side of you but alas, i was sent to the front. maybe you’ll see this and it’ll make this rainy day seem a little better.
I’m really just surprised that anyone hangs out at the Anderson Computer lab.
teal ford escort near temple university – 18
i see you on most monday wednesday and fridays near the rite aid on susquehanna around 10:30. im usually walking to school from white hall. i love your style and your sexy messy long brown hair and tall lean figure. i would love to be the cigarette entwined in your long slender fingers. id love to see your diesel jeans in a heap on my dorm room floor.
Is that poetry or a pick-up line?
Hey Girl – m4w – 19
To the little asian girl with the brown bag and black coat:
I always see you on my way to class, specifically smoking with a very tall guy with shaggy hair. You are absolutely beautiful. I love the way you handle your cigarette, and I would love to have a smoke with you one day. I hope that dude isn’t your boyfriend.
I’m sensing an extraordinary number of cigarette fetishes on campus….
