Craigslist missed connections – how to give it your best shot

Craigslist missed connections

Craigslist has a vibrant missed connections community. This community is one of the reasons I decided to set up Missed Connections.

If you post a missed connection to craigslist, which I recommend you do if you’re looking for someone, also post to the other missed connection sites, including ourselves, to give yourself the best shot of meeting that special someone again.

The good thing about the other missed connection sites is that they don’t have craigslist’s expiry policy.

I think craigslist NYC missed connection personal ads now expire after a week or perhaps a fortnight (it used to be 6 weeks). This advice is especially important if you are posting a missed connection that happened a few years ago, because the object of your affection is less likely to check craigslist in the 2 week window after you post, compared to checking at some point in the following few months/years. Your best bet is to post to all sites and re-post to craigslist everytime your post expires.

Good luck with your missed connections!
