Before the world turned dark and wet, you were faced with a different kind of turmoil this weekend, no less severe and distressing: The knowing feeling that the sexy ____ on the L train was looking your way and the sequential anguish of a moment passing you by. Weather you blame the heightened emotional intensity that happens when everyone is wearing masks or the weekend's lax social rules and promise of romantic frivolity, hearts are hurting right now. We can feel them.

On the chance this storm takes us out, we want to give New York one last stab at love. Below, then, is a survey of the Halloween-related Missed Connections postings on Craigslist from Saturday night until this morning.

Hunker down and fall fast in love. We wish you the best of luck.
