Craigslist's Missed Connections = Possible Stalkers?

I have been visiting Craigslist in looking for freelance writing gigs and through browsing I came across a section on Craigslist called Missed Connections. The section for men that have spotted women is much longer than the section of women searching for men, now isn't that a surprise?

Anyway a lot of them made me laugh and some of them were quite creepy to me as it is seems like some of the guys are watching the same woman over and over, talking about what she wore, and what she said to him or not say to him. Some were even specific as to what the person was doing at the time. I can't help but wonder why they did not take the chance to talk to the person at least.

Here some samples:

"You had a unique Louis Bag.
Great smile.
Amazing body.
Mail in your hand after you were at the teller.
If I didn't get that look back while you were
on the way out, I wouldn't be writing right now..."




"Asian woman with the magic eyes...... - m4w - 35

You saw me, I saw you. We stared into each others eyes from across the street. We did not look away and kept the gaze until we passed. Then we both looked back and you waved. How did you know I longed to stop in the middle of the street and kiss you until the cars blared on their horn? I know you knew. I have never been with an Asian woman, and obviously you thought i was as handsome as I thought you were beautiful. One night with me is all I ask. One night of blissful, secret, romantic passion. Can it be? could you find me?"



"I was doing some work on your block this morning and you walked past me while I was on my cell. I was toatally blown away by how beautiful you are. You came out of your house and moved your car. I wanted so much to say "Good Morning" but decided against it. Now I wish I had. I doubt you'll see this but if you do, tell me what kind of car you moved, color and model."

"Retreat on Sat 5/3 - Cute girl called Moon? - m4w - 23
Hi we were talking and dancing for a bit that night at this ghetto lounge Retreat, and I was going to get you drinks but then the bartender took too long, and somehow you left with your friends.

You had a twin sister who went to the same school as me.

Can't get you out of my mind! Hope you read this!"



Need I say more?!
