A favorite pastime of mine is checking out the “missed connections” on Craig’s List. More like, when I was in my early 20s, it was an amusing thing to do – especially for my friends who lived in DC; they were often the missed connections. One guy friend actually hooked up with dated a girl from a missed connection about him (she only turned out to be slightly psychotic, and by slightly I mean FULLY.)
One night after #Barcon (it’s really a thing, people!), I thought about all those missed connections because apparently 5 girls standing together and talking is intimidating! It’s Comic Con, aka nerd mecca, those missed connections had to be AMAZING. Like always, the internet does not disappoint.
Blood Type
Verdict – Possible Love Connection
Girl, if you are into long hair and staged-casual photos, this guy is for you. Hey, he went out of his way to donate blood at comic con (more than I can say for myself – figured my blood was too thin possibly from having an alcohol sponsor), which speaks highly for him. Unless this is how he picks up chicks before chaining them in his basement… Wait, basements are a rare thing in San Diego — clearly you should go for it! [UPDATE: WHOOPS, this was M4M, which makes it EVEN better. GET IT BOY.]
White Shorts
Verdict – One Night Stand
Perhaps it’s that I always appreciate an Ass-man, but once I got over the initial shock of the “i want to taste it and worship you” comment, I decided this hook-up should happen. You already have the D&D connection, let him be your Dungeon Master for just one gloriously hot nerdy night. Bonus points for Cosplaying in bed.
Spider Man
Verdict – RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
THANK GOODNESS this guy did not actually drop you off at your house. If his language wasn’t enough of a giveaway (EW), the tow truck job is the clear red flag. If this were an episode of Dexter, Law and Order SVU, CSI, or BONES, you would already be inside a metal barrel. It is ALWAYS the tow truck driver as the killer. RUN, Spidey, RUN.
Nerd Trifecta
Verdict – Wedding Bells
No mentions of your ass or hard body parts, AND talks of the comic con gods, like Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore? This man is a keeper. Respond to his post, meet up with him soon and have like 10,000 of his babies. Get it girl, otherwise, I may just respond myself. GEEKS are HOT.
Have you ever had a missed connection on Craig’s List about you? Would you ever respond to one? Are you reading your local missed connections right now?
