This is it. I might have done it.
3:36pm
Location: Green line to Prudential
Significant Clothing: Black hat, black scarf, black jacket, lots of lip gloss.
I sat down on the train and noticed a young bro, probably 26, wearing a black hat and black jacket. We made eye contact several times and smiled at each other. He said "hey," and I said "hi" back, and then he came and sat down next to me. We had a conversation until we both got off the train at Prudential. He smelled like bro cologne. He didn't ask for my number, but he said "maybe I'll see you again." This might be the connection I needed!

craigslist | missed connections in boston
Statement
I’ve decided to take an account of the most common places for missed connections to happen in Boston, and then frequent those places. I will modify my appearance in regards to my location (“cute artist in coffee shop” vs. “young professional walking down Mass. Ave.”), and I will be purposefully aware of who I make eye contact with, who I talk to, and where I am. My goal in this social experiment is to see if I can be acknowledged at least once on “Missed Connections” over the course of the month, and to discover if modifying myself in the process may or may not change the outcome.
