The 25 Thirstiest Craigslist Missed Connections in the Art World (Right Now)

Love is a hard game to play. People go great lengths trying to make connections with people, whether that's a corny pickup line or trying to make conversations happen out of thin air.

We're here to let you know that love can be found in art galleries and museums, and in case you've never tried looking there, let the ravishing experiences of the following Craigslist users inspire you. It makes sense: creative people want to find that special work of art to claim their art, but often these people aren't brave enough to say something until it's too late. Craigslist's Missed Connections has seen many people who are into art but not that into confrontation. Thus, we present to you The 25 Thirstiest Craigslist Missed Connections in the Art World (Right Now).

This is a classic example of thirst. The girl is "in a lot of like" (whatever the hell that means) with a guy who comes into a McDonalds. Sounds like she wants to give him an Egg McMuffin with a side of booty. Cedar design guy should contact her. Even an automatic drink maker can't quench her thirst.

Low and behold, even at the MET Gala there were some missed connections. This guy is trying to find a girl who looks like Ke$ha, and if she is anything like the pop singer, she'll be down for hooking up and whatever else he's trying to do. The poster sounds like he needs some backbone, though. Brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack, go out, and try to find out where your bride is at.

This guy doesn't seem like he's an art fan at all, referring to works as "big ugly paintings." We hope the person he's trying to hook up with isn't a huge art enthusiast or his chances are slim. He should have tried saying the person looked like a work of art, or some other art/beauty corny pick up line, right?

Sarah Rara is an edgy L.A.-based artist who has really cool style. Apparently she also looks like a woman who visits many New York galleries wearing clogs and round glasses (doesn't sound sexy to us, but eh, to each his own). This guy is so thirsty he even put his phone number on the ad. Damn, this dude gets the Big Gulp.

Respond to Missed Connection

Dude, you may want to question if you're into-ladies. You turned and "half hugged a woman" in a friendly way? And you are dwelling on it enough to write a post about it on missed connections? Get this boy a Gatorate and quench his thirst.

Respond to Missed Connection

Not only are art lovers trying to hook up in galleries, but they're trying to get it in art classrooms. This girl is looking for a mustached guy who is also a drinker. Hopefully they come together and make a masterpiece.

What goes with cigarettes? Apparently cookies in St. Louis. This guy is thirsty and hungry. We can't help but point out the blatant double-meaning of the title. Random nice cookie-giving female: maybe it's time to let your sweets stay in the jar.

Respond to Missed Connection

Yes, he smashed your phone while trying to take a picture for you. That must have been a complete bummer. However, just because you have a broken phone doesn't mean you need to have a broken heart. Hit the guy up, beautiful Asian with dimples! It will be a picture-perfect romance.

Respond to Missed Connection

Hot latin boy, you better go get him. A dude in a sub-par BMW who saw you at the Getty Museum wants to holler at you. He may be flush with cash. Do something strange for a little bit of change.

Respond to Missed Connection

At the St. Louis History Museum, apparently men are afraid to talk to each other. It's interesting that so many people find it hard to talk to people at museums. Use an art pick-up line: “If you were Marina Abramovic, I would sit in the MoMA lobby and stare at you all day.”

Respond to Missed Connection

This guy doesn't seem like he does well with the ladies. Yes, sometimes it's hard to know whether a woman is just being nice or is actually interested, but you're also in L.A. That happens. If you want to know if a girl really likes you, that may not be the best place. Jussayin.

Respond to Missed Connection

This post is thirsty but incredibly sad, too. It sounds like a woman had a really good time with a guy, and somehow distance kept them apart. However it does sound like she hit the dude up like a million times. Maybe Timothy Joe moved on. Sorry boutcha.

Respond to Missed Connection

Yeah, it's thirsty that he posted, but how many times has this happened to you? The thirst is understandable. It looked like one thing, but it was really something else. You know that guy isn't hanging out with that girl who c-blocked on accident anymore.

Respond to Missed Connection

He filled up your tires? C'mon hit him up. He was also admiring your chest tattoo (just the tattoo, of course). He's thirsty, but give him a chance. You went to a place called Fruitlands, why not?

Respond to Missed Connection

Aside from bad grammar, this guy also has thirst like you wouldn't believe. Basically he's a dude taking pictures of Star Wars things (probably not really). However he does want to take the girl out to dinner so he's a creep with a heart.

Respond to Missed Connection

So, many people who love art do not have any game. This guy needs a pick-up line: "Boy, you’re like a Rothko; when I look at you, I feel sublime."

Respond to Missed Connection

Dancing mime? What the hell is that about? We really wish we knew the inside story behind this post. It seems like they do it wild at the Denver Art Museum.

Respond to Missed Connection

This guy is thirsty but also equipped with a corny line: "Wish it never came." This guy just needed an art pick up line: “Do you have an audio tour, because I want to hear all about you.” Also, does anybody notice that there are a lot of places in California on this list? Just an observation...no shots!

Respond to Missed Connection

Maybe this is a new way of hitting on someone hot who works at a museum. All you have to do is pretend like you lost your ID and then slip them your number. Either way, the thirst is killing us.

Respond to Missed Connection

Here's Johnny a menage! Who knew Stanley Kubrick would later inspire a gay threesome? He may have won an Oscar and a Golden Globe, but this is a true achievement.

Respond to Missed Connection

Hello teacher! It sounds like this guy wants a lesson in the art of love. Don't leave him heart-Baroque-en. Sorry if that pink sweatshirt sexy gets away from you.

Respond to Missed Connection

Wow this guy knows this girl very well. After having so many opportunities to talk to her, it's odd that he never took the initiative to get those digits. Find that "radiant soul" and grow a backbone!

Respond to Missed Connection

So you're a street performer, but you're too afraid to talk to a girl? Why is that? Also, we get that you're probably one of those guys with a guitar and long hair singing vague lyrics about heartbreak, but your description of her is a little much. "A voice is not everything, but your communication is strong." What does that even mean?

Respond to Missed Connection

This is messed up. People basically want to exploit people who are already depressed. "Hey, you know what would make you feel better? Letting us use you for our own project and not get paid!" Good deal.

Respond to Missed Connection

This guy seems like an oblivious tool. The way he starts the ad like he's actually above doing something like this is hilarious. Apparently the woman he's after is also with a black girl who is trying to protect her friend from a creep who keeps eyeing her. The guy becomes especially creepy in the second paragraph, admitting to stalking her. She would never answer this even if she saw it. This is a first-place thirst case.
