comment: to the girl with pencils in her hair
analysis: the writer loves girls who are quirky -- by noticing the "pencils in her hair" he is stating that the woman is part pragamatic, part hippie -- in short, she is a mysterious, contrary stranger.

comment: kundera in her hands
analysis: ithe writer knows who kundera is -- may not have read kundera, but certainly knows who kundera is, based on certain other girls he may have dated in the past.

comment: to the girl with pencils in her hair and kundera in her hands
analysis: the balanced nature of pencils : hair and kundera : hands signifies that the writer might be an investment banker / advertising exec / lawyer, but he does have a flair with words and appreciates aesthetics (and contrary women).

analysis : the writer was searching MC for his yang-MC -- not finding it, he posted his own yin-MC. At 11:31. PM. on a friday night.

comment: I wanted to talk to you but was too shy. A second chance?
analysis: the writer's voice is silent, but his mind and his fingers are loud trumpets, blasting out the message of love. will his voice ever get the chance to connect passion with voice? further analysis will be needed.

comment: this is in or around 2,3 in the BK
analysis: the writer, by shortening "Brooklyn" to "BK" makes brooklyn seem more mythical-like, perhaps a castlle where he is the "king" and she is the princess that he will make his queen. also, by inserting "the" before BK, the writer peacocks his hipness, probably utilizing this technique to showcase his cool-levels, as well as his familiarity with New York City (e.g. "the 'burg" "the slope")relaying to the girl with the pencils in her hair, and alas, all the readers of missed connections, that the writer is probably an asshole.

rob's addendum - you do the math!

you could have added that the portions were half as small and twice as expensive and an eighth as good as even the most decent REAL diner.

NEVER EAT at the EMPIRE DINER @ 22nd / 10th

My review of this shithole, uncensored.

the empire diner is located at:

---------------------------------------------

these people are assholes who don't even know the basics in hospitality (e.g. - graciousness? promptness?). also, their food is overpriced and bland. i would say it was a totally underwhelming experience, except i left there feeling very angry and annoyed.

i'm glad that i went there so that i can never return.

here's a tip boys, just b/c you snort the coke after hours, doesn't make your waitstaff job any more glamorous, it's still food service.
