This happened just an hour ago or so. Went in to a local grocery shop and grabbed some carrots, oranges and bananas. Paid in cash and went out my way to put everything in my bicycle’s panniers and… there she was going in her own bicycle. It was like in the Fellowship of the Ring when the hobbits see Arwen. At that very instant I saw her face my jaw dropped, almost literally, and I think she noticed I was mesmerized or something because she did a gesture of like trying to look my way but doing a gesture of “what a creep” or something. After 5 seconds or so she was gone and most probably I won’t ever see her again.
How do you get over something like that? I’m still so mesmerized I can’t believe a human being so ridiculously gorgeous can exist in the same plane as an ugly weirdo like me.
Post this on Craigslist’s missed connections?
I’m not from the US - does anyone actually look at those, or is Craigslist mostly used as a punchline?
Its still very much a thing in the US. Maybe not as popular as it was 10 years ago, but people are still posting to it. A local radio DJ used to read off some of them as part of their talk show for laughs…some are pretty entertaining lol 😂
