After writing one of my last articles entitled, Dear Literary Princess: Missed Connections, I realized that other people enjoyed reading these ads just as much as I did. I received responses from readers that, like myself, found the missed connections to be interesting but never knew that these type of ads existed before reading my article. I’ve decided to share some of these missed connections again (along with my responses to the ads). I am left wondering why people place these ads and I also want to know who these people are . I am happy that people continue to write these personals because I am certainly entertained by these missed connections but I simply want to know…

…Who does this?

WARNING:  The following ads have not been edited (much).

I knocked on your door…  w4m
And offered you free carpet cleaning…you offered to get me drunk.  I totally wish I’d stayed to drink with you You’ll probably not see this, but then again…I’d love to take you up on that offer sometime.

Literary Princess:  I’m not Miss Cleo but, I’m sensing that there could be rug burns for these two in the future.  Carpet cleaner and beer has to equal carpet burns?

I LOST - m4w 
I’m sick of crying my self to sleep, I’m sick of hurting, but i don’t want to let you go even tho you pretty much don’t live at the place we got together, I feel like i have lost you and I know you keep telling me you still love me but its not the same, I know I have lost you romantically and it kills me inside …. I’m sick of spending these cold nights all alone, I wish I could have done something better to keep you around. but this guy …. is a lucky guy and I hope he treats u good… I can not ever love someone as much or how I love you this very minute …. now I understand love hurts… and wish we could start over.
Ya U know who I am

Literary Princess:   Nope, I don’t know who you are but I know that you’re telling a lie.  You’re in Texas and you placed this ad at the end of July, there aren’t any cold nights in Texas during this time of year.  So, unless you have your air conditioner set at sixty-ish, you’re not having any cold nights. 

Cute delivery driver - w4m
Hi, you delivered to my house tonight, you were super cute. You’re about average height, well built.. drove a car.. dont know what color it was too dark out..but I’m going to leave it at that I saw your name tag so tell what your name is so I know that your a real person and not one of these dumbass fakes!!

Literary Princess:   Bobby, Ronnie, Ricky…maybe Mike.  What’s in a name?  I’m guessing that you’re going to know whether or not he’s a fake by his name?  If  a guy’s name is Ryan he’s probably a real person, not a figment of your imagination.  A guy named Jake he might be a jerk and if it’s (name goes here) he’s definitely a dumb*** fake!  Wow, now was that really necessary? 

Lil Caesars pizza girl – m4w
You were so wow I lost all words I was wondering if we could get together some time you asked me if i wanted my change back how much was it

Literary Princess:    I’m going to need you to know how to spell “together” the correct way before we can get “together”.  I had to correct your misspelled word in order to publish it, but you left a space between the O and the G.  Together is one word, not two.  I’m just having some fun, I know it was just a typo…right?

Party Time- m4w
Hey Ladies,
Just two Men in town for the weekend looking to have some drinking buddies at our Hotel room in Temple! We are harmless as fly’s just want to Drink and party the night away. We have never done some crazy stuff like this before, but to prove that we are not freaks we are both Firefighters from Virginia. e-mail me back sorry can’t put phone number

Literary Princess:   I’m not totally convinced yet, let me think about it over the weekend. 

Walmart whisper…  w4m
You were watching me as I shopped Saturday around noon.  You walked right by me while I was perusing the cereal aisle (i think it was the cereal aisle) and said something to me in another language.  Can’t be sure which, because it was barely more than a whisper.  We made eye contact again as I was leaving the aisle and you were walking away along the registers.  There was definite chemistry there, I just don’t usually act on things of that nature spontaneously.

Literary Princess:   I wonder what the chances are of meeting a serial killer on the cereal aisle?  I’m just curious.
