Missed Connection Monday

Your last chance to find the one who got away.

Even before the rise of dating apps and an international pandemic that made us forget how to interact with real, non-Zoom humans, asking people out in person was hard. Like really hard. Just ask Chandler Bing, circa 1994:

But these days, going up to a person you find attractive sounds even more terrifying/creepy/utterly insane. Why put yourself through that when you can hop on Hinge and send a carefully constructed text message to someone you already know finds you attractive?

Now, the horror that is the thought of approaching a potential partner in person probably doesn’t mean you haven’t seen someone IRL that you liked. That’s where Saratoga Living After Hours comes in. Starting this very moment, we’ll be accepting missed connection submissions and publishing them on Missed Connection Mondays in hopes that we can help at least one regretful single find the one that got away. Have someone you’d like to send a message to? Email us at editorial@saratogaliving.com for the chance to be featured on a future Missed Connection Monday.

To kick things off, we’ve got three messages from three Saratogians for three Saratogians. Is one of them about you? Email us for a chance to be, yes, reconnected.

You were the man wearing the hat that said “Sports” at the Maple Dell Stewart’s on Saturday around 8pm. I was the girl who likes sports. Want to play tennis?

To the two guys at Tin & Lint a few Saturdays ago who appreciated the proper use of the word “whom”—Do you want to be friends?

To the tall blonde at the Latham Dibella’s on New Year’s Day who wouldn’t stop making eye contact with me but was afraid to approach because he was with his mom…How you doin’?
