In November of last year I read the sweetest story ever about 21 year old Patrick Moberg of New York City who saw the girl of his dreams in the subway, but missed his opportunity to talk to her before she got off the train. He went straight home and created a website complete with crude drawing, an assurance he's "not insane," and as many details as he could remember of the situation.
Believe it or not, in a city of 8.3 million people, a friend of 22 year old Australian Camile Hayton stumbled across the site within days and the two connected. You can decide for yourself how things turned out, but I'd like to believe in an ending as romantic as the story itself.
Well, now Ottawa hopeless romantics have a similar option available to them! While browsing through Craigslist I noticed the "Missed Connections" classified section - an amazing board where people post looking for people who struck their heart (or possibly other sexual organs). I couldn't stop reading - it's like a soap opera... exchanged glances on the bus; coffee drinkers wanting more than an espresso from their Barrista; passersby at Bluesfest or on Canada Day; sad tales of loves that can never happen for whatever reason - it's more interesting than most television!
Makes you wonder if any of them are about you! Check it out for yourself at: http://ottawa.en.craigslist.ca/
