That's Amore: Pizza Is Handfood

Posted by Adam Kuban, July 25, 2007

In which Slice wades waist-deep into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections in search of pizza-related longing. So come with me, my love, to the swamp of love that spawns this That's Amore. —The Mgmt.

Hottie eating pizza - m4w: Yes you! Eating pizza in Wagon Wheels saturday afternoon. You stood at the table next to me and yes I was checking you out big time. I wanted to laugh out loud as your boyfriend was using a knife and fork to eat his pizza. You're going to marry this guy? You can do a lot better than that! Get in touch with me because I can't get you out of my head! [I second that. Life's too short to waste with a man who eats pizza with knife and fork! —The Mgmt.]
Sat. Night 1:00 am Ocean Beach Ferry - m4w - 30: You were a gorgeous blonde with the cutest pout on your face, wearing a white shirt and jeans. You were holding two slices of pizza that you never ate. [And she's still holdin' 'em, buddy, while she peruses Missed Connections for your ad. —The Mgmt.]
Mike #7bus in morning to NR from Mt Vern. - w4m: Mike, I met you on the bus this morning on your way to work to renovate a pizza place in Larchmont, we talked about our kids, you also said you were not living with your other half currently. If I may ask, what does that mean exactly? I'd be interested in chatting with you more, and getting to know you better if your open to it. I was wearing an old navy blue t-shirt and denim shorts, i wasn't looking all that great but we seemed to have a nice chat. I hope you see this and would be willing to chat. Where did i tell you i was going on the bus,and what stop did i get off at?
E 23rd St./ Park Ave. South Pizza. - m4w: This is for the young American/Asian woman sitting at Papou’s Pizza on 7/18/07 1:30pm with her? (Mom). You had the most intriguing eyes. We made eye contact several times. I wanted to say something, but I think I maybe almost twice your age. If you just want to talk and hang out that’s fine. Drop me a line and include what you had for lunch so I know it’s you… [Hi, it's me ;) I had pizza for lunch, silly. Hehe. Let's get 2gether! Email me at pizzagirl@tocatchapredator.com —The One with the Most Intriguing Eyes ;) ]
My CL Dating Summer - w4m: No, I wasn't saying they're all jerks - just the ones who said the would call, asked her for her # and then dropped out of sight. Women can take rejection, but not when men aren't straight-forward.
As for did I kiss the guy - I wouldn't go out with him after his comment. I have money for a nice meal and wine, and assumed if we went out we would split the check. Instead, it became clear that he thought he could buy some women a nice meal and get over on them. Now, if I like a guy, I can buy him a slice of pizza and still bang him on the first date. He doesn't have to be a laugh riot to get over on me. But he has to be sweet and seem really interested in me.

I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. But with seven million people in NYC alone, they're probably hiding from the crowds. [Yowza! —The Mgmt.]
