Missed Connections

Being the romantic that I am, I sometimes peruse the Missed Connections site of New York City and read the most darling things in the world. Quote from today:

we looked at each other and smiled a few times. i've never spoken to a stranger on the subway, plus you had headphones on, but i wish i slipped you my phone number or email on my way off, (i got off at union square, we looked back at each other once more) just to know that i didnt completely let this opportunity pass by

Too amazing to handle, right? Well thanks to Sophie Blackall, a Brooklyn-based artist who specializes in illustrations, you can enjoy these amorous missives complete with their own little sketches

You were reading Catch-22 on the subway this morning. I have never seen such a beautiful profile. I wanted to say hi, but then you’d turn towards me and I wouldn’t be able to look at your profile anymore. You were so into your book, I don’t think you noticed me falling in love with you. But I thought I’d ask, just in case}
