Give love a second chance...


How many times in your life did you miss a love opportunity because you did not dare talking to someone or respond to someone who was obviously trying to make contact with you? I'm sure many times... Well, before (that is before the Internet age!) you would simply go home with your regrets hoping that fate would smile at you a second time. Now - if you live in Paris at least! - you can place an ad on Oncloupe.com (we missed each other.com) - describing your missed opportunity (eg. "you were wearing a red dress, I asked you when the next bus was coming") and hope that the "red dress" reads your ad ;-) Isn't that cool?

  1. I would NEVER have understood what that was about if you didn't post and explain it. I just thought Cupid ate one too many Maison du Chocolate, Pierre Marcolini, and Michael Cuizel chocolates . Not to mention Angelina products. Or the contents of Kayser bakery like I did. Nothin' like eating yourself into a coma over their white chocolate bread....and that was just in their NYC store!

  8. Cloupe.com means it all ... !!! But the concept is fun ... At least it implies that the two who missed each other have heard of the website before... I think this already worked in a few newspapers. I'm afraid 'Give love a second chance' is not common but this is nice to give it a fun try. Aaah the first time Aphrodite met Appollon... So many strong stories have followed... Sad or happy ones. I dislike sad ones except in books or movies... So long life to the concept.

  9. Village Voice in New York City was the place for those types of ads.

  11. Come on, don't compare craigslist to this beautiful cupid :)

    I checked the page and I love it - also try the link onblague.com on the page, lots of good french (and belgium!) jokes. i don't get them all though

  12. @Mrs M "This is a cool idea. But Cupid looks a little scary...." LOOOOOOOOOOOL

    @Alex does not agree though... "Come on, don't compare craigslist to this beautiful cupid :)"

  13. I guess this is like the way we text in English: r u happy? c for c'est? Have to agree with Ms M—that's the creepiest Cupid I ever saw! But it's a great idea.
