Missed Connections

Strangers getting a second chance to make a first impression.

In the digital age, it's hard to remember the days of good ol' fashion flirting. You could be anywhere at any time and suddenly the perfect guy casually walks into your life. You lock eyes and you can tell he's feeling it too. If you're feeling bold, you'll strike up a conversation. But if you're modest, you'll hope he's the one to make the move. And then sometimes nothing happens at all. There is excitement, seduction, frustration, and mystery... a missed connection. This anthology series explores five stories of gay men making connections at the right place but the wrong time. They recall these moments of inexplicable spontaneous affection on the Missed Connections section on Cragislist -- a pre-Facebook corner of the Internet that's surprisingly still alive, energized by those hopeful romantics not willing to let him be the 'one who got away.'
