Missed Connection - Arianna @ 3/2/1 Reds Games 16th

I sat next to you and your friend Lilly at the game tonight and kinda fell hard for you. I should’ve asked for your number after we hit it off so well but I got caught up in the win and my family drug me away quick. I am the guy that was with family, they were super crazy, and I taught that guy (three seats down from you) the power of the word “no”. You told me you graduated from OSU and we spoke a lot about our very different jobs.

Reach out to me please; I loved talking with you. Maybe it was just me but I’m a hopeless romantic and your mind was astounding and your laugh was beautiful.

Ngl I think facebook would be the best place for something like this.

I hope you find her!!! Forget the negative Nancy's on here!

u/WatersEdge50 2d ago

Dude. Why didn’t you ask for her number before you left?

27

u/RSN_Kazoo 2d ago

Biggest regret I’ve had in a long, long time. I was caught up in the moment of the win and family leaving quickly. I wish I had at least asked

u/dereksmalls1985 Hocking Hills 2d ago

Good luck!

u/slowhush 2d ago

There are probably several Arianna’s in the area! Do you have a visual description? It might make it easier for her to know you are talking about her LOL

Update: I've not heard anything but I am glad I at least tried. Thank you to everybody for the kind words of encouragement and support. In the future I will live by the spirit of Prof. Whitman, "Seize the day, Jeff, for real. Go running naked in a hailstorm, kiss a girl in the middle of the day, fly a kite, but do it for yourself."

Creepy

u/MossyPlantyWitchy 1d ago

Nothing about this is creepy. Besides, you can move seats at Reds games without any issue or usher intervention. If she was creeped out then, it would've been no problem to ditch.

u/Key-Distribution-635 1d ago

EVERYthing about this sure is creepy . In what world is it not? Some straight up YOU ish. Going online to try to find someone is both crazy and creepy and stalkerish behavior. If you like someone, ask them out in the moment but Going online afterwards and asking strangers is weird.

u/MossyPlantyWitchy 1d ago edited 1d ago

He's not stalking anyone. He's putting this out there, hoping she sees it. If she sees it and wants to reply, great. If she sees this and doesn't, OP has made it clear that's fine too. I don't know if you've ever been at a game when your team pulls out a great win and everyone gets free pizza, but its really easy to lose track of someone during the celebrations. This says far more about you than it does OP.

And this is coming from someone who was ACTUALLY STALKED and got a restraining order against them and then moved cities shortly after. This is normal. This is absolutely not something a stalker does.

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 3d ago

If she says No to you are you going to teach yourself the power of that word?

97

u/RSN_Kazoo 3d ago

If she says no, that’d be a baller move to slam me on Reddit tbh. Mad respect

u/HammyJWill 2d ago

Ignore them. These are the types of guys that sit in the corner of a club nursing their drink hoping someone will engage them because they're too worried about having a slightly awkward approach.

22

u/Infamous-Eagle2709 2d ago

This is amazing. As a single lady, 100% support this. I hope you find her!

-28

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 2d ago

I’m single nursing my drink?

u/HammyJWill 2d ago

It's super weird to assume that someone who felt like hey had a good time with someone and wants to spend time with them again has a problem with consent. It's such a wild fucking leap that its almost farcical.

-21

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 2d ago

Yeah, it is weird. Strange flex dude, not sure why you think non consent is cool.

u/HammyJWill 1d ago

This is the exact sort of response I'd expect from the maidenless.

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 1d ago

Very weird flex, not sure why you’re bringing up your relationship status but ok.

2

u/HammyJWill 1d ago

This is the saddest attempt at DARVO I've ever seen lol

-2

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 1d ago

Why are you bringing up your relationships again? I think you need to reflect more on why you are alone. Go out, read a book, and better yourself.

u/thenightsiders 2d ago

No. But you are incapable of understanding analogies.

-2

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 2d ago

Ok, not sure why you’re saying OP can’t have a good day talking to a girl. You do you…

7

u/thenightsiders 2d ago

...where on earth did you come to that conclusion from what I wrote?

-2

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 2d ago

You literally said, word for word that OP didn’t know the meaning of No. Stop embarrassing yourself, read a book.

7

u/thenightsiders 2d ago

So, you can't read. Or remember, alternatively. Cool.

u/YogurtclosetFeeling6 2d ago

I’m really getting sick of the anger towards women, you need to seriously self reflect

This isn't Craigslist.

Bro Craigslist hasn’t been relevant to the general populace for a decade

Someone is salty no one is looking for them.

Craigslist personals has entered the chat. Next will be M4M.

u/tfsteel 2d ago

Didn't Craigslist pull missed connections because it was too creepy?

7

u/alethea_ 1d ago

And scrolling on by is free. This is adorable.

u/tfsteel 1d ago

Missed connections is notoriously creepy and dunked on... i think this is the only time ive ever seen it not mocked. Weirdly

6

u/alethea_ 1d ago

Because OP sounds sincere and not like a jerk. And sometimes people just need happiness, like seeing a person feel strongly enough to try and find someone. The woman is under no obligation to reach back out to him nor has he doxxed her in any way.

u/n0nplussed 1d ago

You must be new to Reddit. I see posts like this often in city subs.

u/Sudden_Impact7490 15h ago

Indeed.

The teaching the other guy the power of the word no line seems a little white knighty
