I think we met eye contact several times, I could not keep my eyes off you! We were at the Concert at the fair and you had on jeans and black blouse, and danced most of the night, I think you are sexy and very classy and beautiful baby, would love to meet you? We was sitting not but a few feet from you, what was I wearing? Would you like to talk and maybe meet sometime? This was on Saturday night around 8 pm!

Striped Dress by The Jefferson (Downtown)

I seen you walking to 711 today at 12:15 you have short brown hair and you had a black striped dress on. Not to mention you had a killer tan. You may even be darker than me. Wow. You are hot. You turned up and went down Franklin Street I wanted to say something but chickened out. LOL. You are one very hot woman. Tell me what color shirt I had on. I know this is a longshot but who knows.

Thank you for saying I had a cool shirt at Brown’s Island/Belle Isle (Brown’s Island/Belle Isle in Richmond)

I was walking with my friend around Brown’s Island/Belle Isle around 4 pm Saturday and you said our shirts were cool but I didn’t realize you were talking to me so I didn’t say thanks but then I realized you were talking to me but you were already too far away and I felt like a jackass for not saying thanks so if you see this: thanks for saying my shirt was cool I really appreciate it Keep up the good work,

Your pal,

The guy with the cool shirt and the friend who had a cool shirt too

Guy in Marshall’s Parking Lot – Henrico (Henrico) hide this posting

So, I was coming out of the Shoe Carnival and happened to look up to see you smiling at me. I thought you were a really cute guy and you had a nice smile. That and you kinda look like Markus from Love and Hip Hop Hollywood lol that’s a good thing. I probably had a stupid look on my face because I got nervous and jumped into my car. I wish I had asked for your number. Maybe you’ll see this, maybe you won’t.
