New personal ad feature from Don't Trust Snakes

Submissions are welcome for my new feature, "Too Timid to Respond to Your 'Missed Connections' Ad."

Examples:

Me: Reading Craigslist yesterday afternoon. You: On Craigslist yesterday morning, posting that "My friend and I were walking my little black dog. You and your friends were playing soccer." Should have answered your ad. Cute dog!

Me: Browsing through Craigslist late at night. You: Suavely posting on Craigslist: "Trader Joes/Pink shirt, blue jeans, white shoes woman. I saw you and could not keep my eyes from you. I think you were with your sister. I wanted to talk more and just talk period but we were in a hurry to go. I wonder if you're a student or just live in the area. I had trouble figuring out your age. I just know you are H O T ! I would like the chance to chat with you at least not in a crowded store with so much activity." Thought about answering your ad but I got scared. Not usually that way.

Me: Obsessively browsing Craigslist in secret. You: Crafting intimidating Craigslist postings, including: "Lovely asian cutie at Barnes & Noble. You were sitting alone in the cafe donwnstairs around 3:30 PM today(Sunday). Wearing red top, jeans and black shoes(I think). Looked like you were doing school work. I wore black jacket, gray sweater and jeans. I walked by you, we made eye-contact and you gave the cutest little smile. I sat in the corner a few tables behind you and couldn't keep my eyes off of you...was hard to read anything while I was there. Care to meet sometime?" Wished I could have summoned the courage to answer your ad. Coffee?
