They came, they PLURed, they conquered. And in their wake, the dancing, Day-Glo masses of Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas left many a' fellow raver smitten.

With around 135,000 people in attendance, it was nearly impossible not to make new friends (or more) at the three-day fest. Still, many were too shy or, ahem, preoccupied to follow through with those who caught their eye.

Thank goodness for the Internet, right? Between Craigslist, Reddit and Burner, a phone app that created its own EDC-specific missed connections website, there's no shortage of options to track down your EDC soulmate.

And the posts keep pouring in. Most are sweetly earnest, all are hilarious and some even restore our faith in love—though more manage to be straight-up creepy.

Below, take a look at our favorite star-crossed love stories from EDC 2015:

1. "You were maybe missing some front teeth and shirtless, you told me I was beautiful while dancing at kinetic field but I was too high to talk back lol. I think u had a Mexican flag. I was wearing American flag bikini top, u were cute, find me!"

2. "Day 3. Neon Garden. for Dubfire. You saw me recording & you started to shuffle in front of me & looked at me every time you faced me. After you stopped you came up to me & ask "Do you know how to shuffle yet?" Only problem was that I didn't notice that you approached me until a day after of reviewing this video. I was wearing a white tank top that had a Cheshire face drawn on it."

3. "Day 2 at Pretty Lights, I was the redhead girl from Oklahoma in the tie-dye swirl shirt & neon yellow shorts. You came up to me & showed me the heart trade instead of PLUR. You had green paint lines on your face. We talked then you hugged me & kissed my cheek. Then a little later you came back & we took a snapchat video & you kissed my cheek again & said you hoped I didn't mind. I didn't, I loved it. Then we saw each other leaving Cosmic Meadow & that was the last I saw of you. Should have got your snapchat or something. Hope you see this :)"

4. "In general: if I met you, I would love to connect! I was wearing a red, sparkle-y corset on Friday night, and gave out hand/face massages! Anyone in LA or Bay but didn't get your info!"

5. "Met a guy at the Sigma set - you had dark hair and black glasses and were shirtless. I had an Iron Man kandi mask and cyberlox. You picked me up and carried me to the stage where we danced together, but I had to go meet my friends before I could get your number. Would love to catch up with you if you see this."

6. "I was the really muscular black guy with a lot of kandi. I was jigglypuff for day 1, had a blue kandi mask for day 2, and Goku from DBZ for day 3. I forgot what day we met, but you were wearing pasties and i stopped you at Kinetic Field to trade kandi and then we made out."

7. "Your group of friends were from UCSB and met my friends on Friday night at Kinetic. We kicked it and it was dope. I got to talk to you a little bit later but I was so based that when I heard Kaskade’s set I had to get up and dance. It wasn’t until later I realized I completely just dipped while we were talking.. felt bad about it and wanted to apologize because I really thought you were cool and wanted to kick it again, I don’t give away my TRAP QUEEN kandi to just anybody."

8. "I was the big bearded guy with the man bun wearing a white shirt and a camel back. You lost your friends and I found you all alone. You were blonde and I think your name started with a K. And honestly you were beautiful as f*ck. Find me."

9. "Hey all! I was the turquoise colored statue friday w/ the trident. The silver-banana man saturday. Talked to a few kids, unfortunately recorded no name. hmu"

10. "You, with the silver hair and white tutu at the circuit grounds: I loved your enthusiasm for dance. Peace forever, tiny dancer."

11. "Just in general...any Jewish raver girls from New York area? Would love a partner in crime for future festivals"

12. "I met a girl waiting in line for water. She is from Seattle. She was my dream girl of edc. I need to see her again"

13. "Hey Mel. It's Alex. The one with the James Franco smile. And you with you're crystal heart that I'm attached too. I hope you hear my voice"

14. "You're the driver of the silver Prius with the Coexist (ugh) sticker. I'm passenger side in the blue range rover. You're not exactly a "missed" connection yet, but if we make it out of this standstill hell and back to LA, Ima find youuuu"

15. "I'm not usually into older guys, but I had to make am exception. You were at Above & Beyond's set, and you asked me to say your name. I could barely breathe but I still said it. "You're goddamn right" you said. Let's leave our families behind and run away together." Response: "I hear he's got a nice cabin out in New Hampshire"
