Missed Connections: Dollar Make Me Holler & Smoking 'Hookah'

Missed Connections are posts on Craigslist where men and women cross paths with a person of interest, instantly triggering a curious attraction. Alas, the meeting was too short, and the pair failed to exchange contact information.

This is a roundup of the best Missed Connections of the week:

Wicker Park

Wednesday, Nov. 21
“Gorgeous red head at Nick’s Wicker Park”

Those who say opposites attract obviously haven’t seen this redheaded duo at Nick’s Beer Garden in Wicker Park. Once this 26-year-old redhead laid eyes on the other “gorgeous redhead,” the rest was history.

“I was the red headed guy at the end of the bar,” he wrote on Criagslist. “You came up to me… I wish we would have said more.” So if you’re a vivacious red-haired maven who frequents Nick’s on Milwaukee Avenue, a Wicker Park lover is trying to reunite.

Lake View

“Dollar Store on Ashland and Wrightwood”

As television superstar Honey Boo Boo would say when trotting through the local Dollar Store, “Dollar make me holler!” At least, that’s what one 37-year-old Lake View man is hoping. He spotted a cowgirl at the local business Monday afternoon and is regretting not saying “hello.”

“We were at checkout and I could not believe how Beautiful you are,” he wrote on Craigslist. “You were wearing Jean's and Cowboy Boots and… Looked Amazing!” So if you’re the Dollar Store cowgirl, holler!

Lincoln Square

Saturday, Nov. 24
“Lost you number”

After locking eyes at the Lincoln Square Starbucks, it was obvious: time to smoke some “HOOKAH.” This 23-year-old Lincoln Square woman is hoping you’ll throw a text her way after finding her unique post on Missed Connections.

“We met at the Starbucks on Lincoln and Wilson, then went to Walgreens, finally back to your place and you smoked some HOOKAH,” she wrote on Craigslist, unassuming capital letters and all. So if you’re the Lincoln Square man who loves a decently priced latte followed by smoking, this girl is hoping to hang out again.

Lincoln Park

Tuesday, Nov. 27
“Penny’s Noodles hottie”

If you’re a “hot lil blone number” that is an employee at Penny’s Noodles on Diversey Parkway, get ready for the offer of a lifetime. A 28-year-old Lincoln Park man was on a date with another woman at Penny’s when he saw you, and all bets with his current fling were off.

“I saw you the other night while there on a date and couldn’t help take my eyes off you,” he wrote on Craigslist. “Couldn’t really say hello or even sneak you a wink, but I wanted to do a lot more.” So if this offer on Missed Connections sounds appealing, “lil blonde number,” this guy is hoping to hear from you.
