Craigslist Romance: A Tale of Missed Connections

You called the cops on me after I followed you from the gas station.

DISCLAIMER: This post was discovered on Craigslist and has been edited and altered for formatting and ease of reading.


So, I'm sitting in my van at the gas station and you happen to drive by, looking up at me a couple of times. I was thinking that you might have been interested in me. So, I followed you as you walked to an ATM — I kept my distance and was going to let you approach me.


But you didn't so I went back to the gas station.

You drove around a second time and got another look at me (a few times) as you slowly drove by again and again. I thought you were giving me hints that you were interested in me.


I knew my tank was on "empty "so I pulled up to the gas pump to fuel up, thinking you wanted me to follow.


I expected you to come around a third time. I was preparing to follow you — I'm guessing to your house. Like, I don't know, maybe you were shy or maybe this was a fetish or kink for you.


Well, then two officers pull up, get out, and ask me for my ID. They said I fit the description of a person in a van that followed a girl to an ATM. I told them "yes" that was me and asked if you (the girl at the ATM) were freaked out. They said, "yes, she called us."

So, they ran my license and, of course, I have a clean driving record — no felonies, no arrests, and not even a speeding ticket.


I told the cops that I thought you were interested in me, and they said perhaps that a gas station is not the best place to be picking up girls.


I said, "I wasn't... but this particular girl honestly looked like she was showing interest."


The cops appreciated that I was being honest about the ATM situation. I said, "I did give her plenty of distance because I wasn't trying to freak her out. I was going to let her approach me to talk on my driver's side."


Interestingly enough, I'm glad they (the cops) were here because I have been interested in becoming a Kennesaw (Atlanta) police officer, and wanted to know if the training course was open again. I've been wanting to pass the physical fitness test but they've been delayed since the COVID-19 pandemic.

We finished the conversation and now I am back in my van, writing this to you in hope of you seeing it.


I wanted to apologize to you and for freaking you out — scaring you, first and foremost.


But, I also wanted to let you know that I am very much interested in you. I think you are very cute and if you are willing to date a Native American and Caucasian-mix guy, I would like to take you out to dinner and make it up to you. I'd possibly get to know you a little bit and see if what I was feeling may actually have some value to it.


And who knows, maybe I can follow you back to your place like I had originally thought you were trying to get me to do.

If not, then I wish you well, and again I apologize for making you uneasy. It was absolutely not my intention at all and I hope you can forgive me for that — regardless of any future endeavors.


One more thing: I would also propose that we go to the Kennesaw Police Department.


You can see that I have no record, no ill intentions, and just think that overall this would be a really great origin story for us. Hope to see you again on better terms.
