The missed connection causes fatigue for many individuals. If you’re not familiar with it, a missed connection occurs when a person is living their daily lives and suddenly comes in contact with someone where they create a real or non-real connection. They create something in their head that creates a fictitious bond with a random person.
For a split second in time they make eye contact, perform some type of gesture towards you or give up 1-2 seconds of their existence to acknowledge that you exist.
In my opinion, missed connections only exist for people that have actually created a connection with one another. Ie. You have spoken, developed a rapport with them enough to know their name etcc.
It’s funny going on Craiglist under the Missed Connections section only see people talk about “missed connections”. For example, a guy went into a local Tim Horton’s and noticed a girl sipping on orange juice. As he opened the door, the girl looked at him, then he went on Craigslist to say,” I really wanted to talk to you, I feel that there was something there when our eyes met.”
That’s horse radish: the guy was just afraid to talk to her.
Instead of focussing on trying to find the “missed connection” by typing a message on Craigslist in hopes of this girl going there too, why not focus on the real problem?
He was too afraid to approach her and say something.
He was afraid of that woman rejecting him.
The question then becomes, which is a worse feeling? To be rejected or to have not made a move and not know the outcome? Maybe that woman was new to the city and looking for new friends. Maybe she just became single and is on the market. She was sitting alone wasn’t she?
The fact of the matter is, you will never know until you try. Screw rejection. It doesn’t exist. It only exists for people who allow it to exist.
The Missed Connection is considered buried. R.I.P the Missed Connection.
