Have You Ever Had a Missed Connection?
If you've ever looked at Craigslist's Missed Connections, you know just how many people are seeking out that certain someone they locked eyes with on the subway, at the grocery store, or at the airport but never got the chance to speak to. An article written today on Cnn.com explained this phenomenon perfectly: Craigslist, Kizmeet.com, ISawYou.com, SubwayCrush.com — these missed-opportunity matchmakers have become a staple of online modern love. They've also become a way for some singles to fantasize about the people they'd like to meet and those they hope will want to meet them.

The Harsh Truth About Craigslist Missed Connections
Have you ever spied your dream lover in the frozen food section of Trader Joe's but were too shy to start a conversation or flirt? Maybe you were moved to post a prose poem on Craigslist's oddball "Missed Connections" section, writing to that person in the hopes that they would read your true feelings, remember who the hell you were, and contact you.

Love For Sale: Personal Ads From the 19th Century
It's not often a history dissertation warrants consideration outside a university, but Pam Epstein, a PhD candidate at Rutgers University, has turned hers into a blog worth blogging about. She's using old personal ads to explore love and marriage in mid-19th- to early-20th-century America, and has dug up some real gems — both the ads and the men. What I love is that instead having categories like "missed connections" or "casual encounters," they have "matrimony."
Sunday Confessional: I Semi Cheated
I met a guy that I really liked before Christmas. It's been a while since I've felt a connection with someone, but I wasn't sure if he felt the same way. He went home to visit family for the holidays and I didn't hear from him for over a week, and I had no clue when he was coming home.
You Asked: Should I Take My Ex Back As My Best Friend?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of two years recently broke up with me. It was completely out of the blue and I still can't understand why he did it. He gave me 20 different contradicting reasons, but the main point is that he doesn't want to be with me anymore; and it hurts a lot.
GiggleSugar Interviews Margaret Cho!
When I think of Margaret Cho, I think of her hilarious standup act in flashes of representative scenes. There's Margaret telling everyone how weird it is to be an Asian American on an airplane with a flight attendant offering you Asian chicken salad. ("That is not the salad of my people!") There's Margaret imitating her mother's cute Korean accent and puzzling over gay men and their, uh, interest in "the ass."
You Asked: Is His Distance Normal?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost six months now. From the start, I was aware that he suffered from mild depression but he happily and routinely takes medication for it. In the beginning, he was perfectly affectionate.
Ruh Roh!
Who knew that one occupational hazard of being a news anchor was getting run down by a giant Zorb ball? My question though: How the hell is that thing almost $1,000?! Am I missing something?
