The ten best Craiglist Missed Connections from a gas station, Colorado's top spot

A recent study in Psychology Today mapped the most common locations of Craigslist Missed Connections by state -- and Colorado's isn't glamorous. In the Centenntial State, the most likely place to fail romantically (and later document it publicly) is the gas station. Considering the amount of active outdoor adults here, our volcanic music scene and our never-gets-old nightlife scene, our first reaction was that this can't be true.

In honor of that fact, here's a list of the ten best Denver Missed Connections from gas stations.

This turned into a clear case of stalking when the "misser" of the "connection" followed the other person to Taco Bell and then watched from afar at the gas station. 2. This is the sign of a true Casanova. He actually stops in at that gas station to see you, and he now knows that you don't work there anymore. Think he'll get the hint that it's a little creepy? 1.
