People Are Confessing The "Missed Connection" They Still Think About, So I Drew Them — Internet, Do Your Thing
Missed connections happen every day, and they're often the encounters we never forget about. I was reminded of this when I recently asked folks about the missed connections they still think about — my heart jumped at the level of detail people wrote in with. And since love is in the air, I took the details the BuzzFeed Community gave and drew their missed connections:
Internet, do your thing.
1.They met in an escape room and her "young gay heart flipped":
2.They shared a cab and a kiss — she's "looked for her at every women's event" since then:
3.They met 20,000 feet in the air. He offered her gummy bears, and suddenly she "was in a rom-com":
4.She got kicked out of the club. He was "an angel that night," and hugged her while she cried:
5.She took a detour. After "a semester abroad spent exploring alone," she found exactly what she was looking for:
6.It was the holidays, and he gave her the gift of a "kiss she often compares others to":
7.They were drawn to each other. But she was with family. So, she left him "standing awkwardly" at the top of the staircase:
8.They drunkenly sang karaoke together. In the morning, she was gone. But "her sunglasses were on the nightstand":
9.They were on the same bus, and every shared glance "felt like warm butter spread onto perfectly toasted bread":
10.Maybe it was love, or maybe it was Lush — either way, her "poor gay ass just stood there":
11.He was a boy. She was a lesbian. Can I make it any more obvious? It was the only time she felt "so at peace" with a man:
12.The subway doors opened, and it was "almost magical" the way he looked at her. But they were headed opposite ways:
13.She was "newly single and bi-curious." And the universe delivered:
14.They were on a hike. The scent of "pine and his cologne settled on him like morning dew," and it changed his life:
15.She cried on the L train. Outside, "he mouthed, 'You ok?' And it was enough for her to breathe and wipe her tears away:
16.They spent the entire concert "singing to each other" across the room. Three days later, the universe reunited them:
