I respond to Missed Connections on Craigslist. Sometimes people hate me, sometimes I am sorry.

Sunday

Westin hotel downtown, Friday 4 pm. - m4w - 45 (Downtown LA)

Missed Connection:
You were looking for the lobby bar; I assured you you were already there.
I would do anything to see you again....

My Response:
Omigod- I'm so dumb sometimes when it comes to directions! LOL. Well- I totally like sorta live at the Westin right now. I go to the bar every night just to escape the shit, ya know? Meet me there sometime and we can totally chat- and like, maybe hit it off? I love a man in uniform. You were the bell boy, right?

His Response:
Just so I'm sure it's you: what were you wearing that day in the bar?
thanks

My Response:
A black see-through long sleeve shirt...American Apparel knee high socks...a choker..black eyeliner...I'm kinda hardcore...

His Response:
Hmmm... interesting... this sounds sort of like the woman i spoke with, but sort of not.... one more question: what's your hair style?
and, by the way, no, i'm not the bell boy... i was sitting at a little table between the bar and the fountain and you (or someone else) noticed me smiling at you and asked me for directions.

My Reponse:
There was a fountain!?! Near the Bar??! I am like so oblivious sometimes- and I LIVE there!

His Reponse:
what were you holding in your hands? and what is your hairstyle? :-)

My Response:
I don't like holding things- not even other people's hands...so...I don't think I was holding anything..my hair was way shitty looking too.

His Reponse:
i don't think you're the woman i saw. but you sound charming and gorgeous. so, yes, we should definitely meet up at the Westin (or elsewhere) sometime!
should we exchange photos?

My Response:
OK.
