I'd Love to Connect with You Outside of Carpet Buying: 'Missed Connections' at Fridley Stores

Shopping in Fridley is not all business for some people, judging by "Missed Connections" listings on Craigslist. For Valentine's Day, here are a few recent postings:

Home Depot Carpet Gentleman - w4m - 34 (Fridley, MN)

I met you over a month ago in my quest for new carpet, you were so helpful, and I think we enjoyed chatting. I met with you a few different times ton figure out my carpet wants...I kept changing my mind. :) In any case, I would love to connect with you outside of carpet buying. I hope this message reaches you if you are interested.

I wish I'd said something... - m4w - 50 (Target - Fridley)

I saw you, several times, shopping at Target off of Central Avenue on Tuesday January 29th around 3:30pm.

Me: Brown hair, blue hooded winter coat, shopping with a couple of pals.

You: Strikingly attractive, dark coat and black (?) slacks.

I recall locking eyes with you. You seemed startled?

My hope is that you found me as intriguing as I do you.

Perkins in Fridley - m4w - 37 (Fridley)

... [Y]ou were my server today. You have the most beautiful eyes that I have seen in forever. I was there doing my homework eating lunch and I could not stop myself from staring at you each time that I seen you. I did not see a ring, so I hope that that means you are single. I would love to chat it up with you sometime when you are not so busy at work. If this is you and you respond please put what I had for my meal in the subject line so I know you are real.
