Tampa Bay’s Steamy ‘Missed Connections’ Are Gold
Craigslist is one of those jack of all trades kind of website. You’ll find used jail toilets for sale, job opportunities, and lovers looking to rekindle a long-lost friendship. Craigslist is truly one of the best websites of all time. Today, we’re here to help reconnect some of these missed connections in Tampa Bay.
Lost track of my female friend (Historic DT St. Petersburg)
Jeffrey lost track of his female friend and is looking to reunite. Jeffrey writes, “Miss my female friend. We used to spend a lot of time in your van talking and spending time together when we used to go shopping and parked in garages in downtown St. Petersburg … I still miss those experiences.”
Spending time in the van is an easy one to decipher. No need for a rocket scientist to explain this one, but if anyone knows of such a van owner, let’s forward them over to Jeffrey. Typically you wouldn’t want to advertise sitting in your van in a parking garage, but we’ll let it slide here.
Toys at your house (Largo)
Next up, we have a no-name listing “Toys at your house (Largo)”. We’re not sure if this is a man or woman writing this, so beware. The two met at a local adult store and theater and the posting says, “Said if I came to your house that you had many toys and games we could play.”
We’re definitely not talking about a good old-fashioned round of darts or Chinese Checkers. If you’re on the hunt for your long-lost adult film connoisseur, you can rekindle that flame by responding to the posting. We wish you luck on your journey.
Do missed connections work?
Look, we’re no expert, but whether you’re looking for love or just a possible friend, Craigslist might not always be the route. There are many missed connections where the posters are just looking for a friend as they’re old and lonely, but a coffee shop or a bar might be a better option. But, if you’re just looking for your parking garage hookup from back in the day, missed connections in Tampa might just be the best route.
Top Reasons Why People Love Being Single
Creating Your Own Routine
You can dance to your own music when it comes to scheduling. Single people can create a routine that works for them. This includes consistent meal times, bedtimes, and events. You never have to consider your partner’s schedule. You can even pick up more hobbies, like weekly trivia or a class you’ve been wanting to try. For better or worse, your time is your own.

Less Money Stress
If you’re single, chances are that you don’t have to worry about spending money on anyone else but yourself. You can keep your money for yourself and use it for a solo vacation or a rainy day fund. Not to mention, you no longer have the financial obligation of buying someone a nice gift for birthdays, and couple-y holidays like Valentine’s Day, Sweetest Day, or Date-a-versaries.

Well, Hello Free Time
Single people get more freedom. Without the obligation of another person in your life, you’ll have more time for activities. One of the many perks of being single is just having space and time to focus on yourself and emotional needs. You even get a chance to know yourself better during the added free time. Use your time the way you want.

It's All Mine!
Single people don’t have to deal with the phrase, “Let me try some” while eyes are glaring at their plate. That’s right, you don’t have to share a thing. Another food benefit of being single is taking advantage of not conforming to someone else’s habits or preferences. You can try a new diet or completely indulge without the extra commentary or worrying about someone else’s needs. You don’t have to worry about if the food you like is off-putting to your partner.

Binge Your Fave Shows, Without Waiting
Watch what you want, when you want without the worry. Many couples like to watch a new TV series or movie together. But Heaven forbid you tune in without your partner. That’s one way to start an argument. So, if you’re single go ahead and binge that new Marvel series without looking over your shoulder. Also, you don’t have to sit through shows or movies that you don’t care for, because your partner wants to. Watch what you want!
