Full Tank, Empty Heart: Illinois Man’s Search For Gas Station Beauty
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and one Rockford man learned that lesson the hard way.
The internet is truly a place where you can entertain yourself for hours. From podcasts, to movies, to getting into arguments with internet trolls, and my favorite:
Seeing peoples' love lives unfold for the world to see.
I follow a few subreddits called /Dating_Advice, /DatingInYourTwenties, and /ForeverAlone, and let me tell you.. I spend hours reading peoples' posts.
And sometimes, I spend time on my local Craigslist scrolling mindlessly through the Missed Connections page seeing who's looking for the "one that got away."
What are Missed Connections?
"a missed-connection is a short message in a newspaper or website that attempts to find a person who had been seen in public by the author. The intent is usually romantic" [isawyou]

If you didn't think you could find love literally anywhere, think again. There's someone out there for everybody and that means you could meet them in the most bizarre places, like a gas station.
