9 of the best Missed Connections in Charlotte

Kylie Moore

Ah, Craigslist: the only place you can rent a life-size, living, breathing Elf on the Shelf, consider becoming someone’s nemesis, sign up to be a bridesmaid AND get your dentures back all at the same time.

It can also be used it as a dating service. Take it from this guy, who felt a connection too strong to be ignored with a woman whose purse he stole and asked her for drinks using the information found on her driver’s license.

What a time to be alive.

Okay, that’s an extreme example — when I say ‘dating service,’ I’m not thinking snatch-and-grab or even swiping left or right. I’m also not talking something along the lines of eHarmony, Bumble or Match.com.

I mean Missed Connections.

Missed Connections is the section of Craigslist that functions the way a classifieds section would in a newspaper: a small write-up from one anonymous Craigslist-er to another because when they met in real life, one was too shy to say anything.

Hey, Agenda readers: if you’re ever too shy to talk to that handsome guy you pass most mornings that wears nice shoes, try Missed Connections.
