Hi,
I was passing through Detroit today on my way home to Toronto (from LA—it’s been a long trip, I hope I wasn’t looking TOO rough!) and I stopped to walk my dog at the midtown dog park. You were the white guy with the brown brindle dog, either a pit or bully mix. You suggested I try Detroit style pizza and walk my dog under the Ambassador bridge. As I watched you walk away, I was kicking myself for not suggesting we grab a slice together before I split town. I know no one ever checks Craigslist anymore, and I know that we barely spoke, but, I just felt this little…SPARK. And it’s still here making my heart beat a little faster as I think about it. So, if you are somehow reading this, and thinking that while it may be batshit crazy that I’m posting this, it’s also kind of charming, and maybe you felt that spark too (right?!) well, I’ve been thinking of taking a short trip to Detroit soon anyway. So maybe while I’m there we can get that slice :) e-mail me and describe my dog / tell me what food we both dislike.
If I never find you, well…after a tough breakup and two weird years of trying to date and all the hilarious ups and downs that go with that, its just good to know that this feeling—this tiny lightning strike of an irrational crush on a stranger—still exists out there for me. A good omen upon moving back to the northeast, and for 2023. So thanks for that.
Happy new year to all you Craigslist romantics. xox
