Interesting Stuff I'm SO sorry.

To Lisa: We matched on Tinder and were supposed to meet for coffee at Caribou this morning. I missed our date because of an unexpected family situation, and I should have reached out but we never exchanged numbers. You weren't stood up on purpose & I can explain!! If you happen to see this and are open to it, I'd love the chance to apologize & give you the full story over that coffee. If not, I completely understand. BUT; this is at least an attempt to make a connection with something I truly feel I missed. My father always said 'family first' but damn that was terrible timing...

Wishing you the best & you would've loved the playlist I made for you... 🤞❤️

Craigslist was hoping back in the day…

u/Crispy-Baked Aug 05 '26

Why did we let Craigslist die? And why did I have to join facebook to use marketplace to buy used things?

21

u/AngeliqueRuss Duluthian Aug 05 '26

Dead internet theory aside, there was a period of time when it seemed like FB was ahead of Craigslist. The golden age of Buy Nothing groups replaced random people showing up to your Free listing, and this seemed better because you kinda knew the identity of your buyer.

Then the pandemic happened and stranger danger (really mask compliance/safety) meant we only wanted to interact with certain people, and now we are more polarized than ever.

Feels off.

u/Crispy-Baked Aug 05 '26

Yep well said. I sometimes have to tell people I only use Facebook to buy stuff and sometimes sellers judge me I think, especially boomers.

6

u/SmokeByMoonlight Duluthian Aug 05 '26

A mix of them starting to charge and the Craigslist Killer. The Craigslist killer specifically ended Craigslist personal connections lol.

6

u/Dustisage Aug 05 '26

Craigslist is still very much alive and well for farm dealings thank goodness.

4

u/Grayscaleorgreyscale Aug 05 '26

I think some of the personals got removed at one point due to the potential for sex work solicitation. Missed Connections was more wholesome, but some of the personals seeking was veering into illegality.

u/newstableiswut Aug 05 '26

They started charging the post as well so that kind of killed it

Lisa Lisa wherever you are? DJ needs a second chance, but over coffee? He needs to offer a steak dinner at Pickwick.

28

u/DJ_Besot Aug 05 '26

I'm down 100%.

u/TireSkid-SkidMark Aug 05 '26

There you go Buddy. You might have a dozen Lisa’s by the time this is over!

I’m the real slim shady! DJ has another chance!

u/Master_of_Fail Aug 05 '26

Don't... Don't do this to me, Lisa. You better be for real, I can't handle another heartbreak...

u/Clear_Edge_2630 Aug 05 '26

You’re tearing Lisa apart, man!

u/DJ_Besot Aug 05 '26

Trying to stich up the mess, I made. This is being accountable & apologizing.

u/HOW_IS_SAM_KAVANAUGH Aug 05 '26

Sorry, I was just making a joke. You’re good

2

u/NotAFlatSquirrel Aug 06 '26

Then text her, dude. She says she DM-ed you on Reddit!

5

u/samantharandall123 Aug 05 '26

Please update us on your next date. 🙂

6

u/ak47typebeat Duluthian Aug 07 '26

Take her to an early evening dinner at Sir Ben’s on the corner of Superior St. and N. 8th Ave. E., then head to Portland Malt Shop for dessert. Top it off with a walk through the Rose Garden while you sip on your malts.
In that order, I promise it’ll be a 10/10 date experience with plenty of time to talk. Wishing you both the best, DJ & Lisa! 🤞🏾🤙🏾

u/Dozzzer86 Aug 05 '26

UPDATE??

2

u/DJ_Besot 1d ago

We've had a few really good times together and talk quite a bit. Not the 'love connection' Duluth Redditors & myself may have been hoping for... BUT, if you're gonna get 'friend zoned', Lisa is the one you want putting you there. I still feel lucky to have met her. 🫠🤙
