Normally, I hate love. I hate most things. It's why I like this space. But because I was recently told by a fortune cookie that I "will find love," I have decided to be positive this week. As such, recess is dedicating today's sandbox to love. Here are some of the best missed connections from Craig's List in the Duke area. Love might be a battlefield, but today, we're on your side.
4th floor Duke library - m4w - Feb. 10, 2009: You kept walking by and looking...interested? Me: Black and blue striped hoodie by computers and elevators.
To the guy who proposed to me at Alivias... - w4m - 21 - Jan. 14, 2009: So, not really. But you were getting a drink, I was paying my tab, and we bonded over a shared love for gin. I wouldn't mind running into you again. Just saying...
Guy who mugged me Sunday night - m4m - 26 (Jones and West St) - Jan. 29, 2009: I really thought your thuggish look was hot. Even though you took my wallet, which sorry bro it had no money in it, I thought about how hot it would be to play this scene again in my place. Tell me the name on my driver license so I know it's you!
"following me" in Kroger - m4w (Durham) - Feb. 08, 2009: OK, we both like sweets, and I definitely liked your sweet smile and laugh..I was in a rush and couldn't talk like I wanted, so hopefully you will see this and remember me...I asked if you've ever tried the "Symphony" chocolate bar. I'd like to try and get to know you better.
intensity - w4w - Feb. 6, 2009: i want to know what you're thinking, feeling, doing... every moment. every day. i screwed up, and i miss you so much that it hurts. you'll never know.
I love you... - m4w - Feb. 5, 2009: just sending it out to the universe...i love you and miss you terribly. i will freely accept you back into my life. the past is the past it will not dictate the future.
