Missed Connections: 'No Scrubs', 1 Cute Dental Patient

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 North Side Missed Connections of the week.

Lincoln Park

Friday, November 9
“You’re my patient and you’re adorable!”

Digging scum out of a man’s mouth wasn’t enough to stop this 26-year-old’s beating heart in Lincoln Park. According to her post on Craigslist, her patient at the dental office on a few days earlier couldn’t keep her from smiling.

“I thought you were absolutely adorable :) I think it's pretty inappropriate to ask patients out so I hope to see you at the bus stop :)” If you’re the mystery man with the perfect smile, this dental professional is looking for a date.

Wicker Park

“We smiled and waved & then it was over”

A 25-year-old man was obviously love-struck by the smiling woman in a car on Milwaukee Avenue, because it sparked a line from a TLC hit.

“I noticed you were… ‘sitting at the passenger’s side, of your best friends ride, trying to holla’ at me,’” the man recalled in his post on Craislist, to the tune of “No Scrubs.” He says the woman didn’t “holla,” but gave a big smile. “If I could've... I would've stopped the car somehow, but I was stuck in the gaze of that gorgeous smile,” he added.

North Center

“Cute host at Frasca”

Love was in the air for two North Center men Wednesday night, so much so that one 29-year-old pizza lover at Frasca Pizzeria and Wine Bar on Paulina Street could barely keep it together.

“This is for the cute host at Frasca ... Great smile, good with the kids, and personable. You look like a solid guy,” the man wrote on Craistlist. Are you the cute host at Frasca? Because this man would love to get to know you better.

Lincoln Square

Friday, November 9
“Asian cyclist”

One Lincoln Square motorcyclist is looking for a “badass” cyclist who stole his heart while riding around town.

“You appear pretty hardcore, with the compression gear and balaclava,” he wrote on Craigslist. “…You look about as superhero-ish as I do in my motorcycle gear.” Wherever you are, Asian cyclist, this motorcyclist is looking for you to steal his heart again.

Lake View

Saturday, November 10
“You bought a hat in Lakeview on Thursday night”

A 24-year-old Lake View hat connoisseur took one look at the man at Goorin Bros Hat Shop on Saturday and knew he was one the one. The man works at the business and spotted another man having a hard time choosing out the perfect hat. But according to the post on Craistlist, the choice was clear.

“I convinced you to wear the hat out because you looked great in it. You have the cutest smile I think I've ever seen in my life,” he wrote. Are you the man with a black jacket and purple shirt sporting a new black stingy-brim fedora? If so, a Lake View lover is looking for you.
