Best of RVA Missed Connections 3/21/17-3/28/17

by | Mar 28, 2017 | WTF?!

In this week’s episode of stolen glances and missed chances, Richmonders continue to come close to making a connection, and yet again seek the helpful aid of Craigslist. Perhaps you’re the girl with the bee tattoo, the Adonis on the skateboard in Carytown, or even the Giovanni Ribisi type who was sipping coffee on the outskirts of the Church Hill Irish Festival this weekend. Read on to find out!

Bartender Leslie – m4w (Ric) I hope our conversation Friday intrigued you, rather than offended you. Text me!!!
Yours (if You want me to be), Pathetic Dirty Old Man

Golds gym colonial heights – m4w
We crossed paths the whole time during our workout. You ran on the treadmill next to me. You were always on the machine next to me. You parked right in front of me . I tried to hang outside for a few to intentionally run into you but you snuck out the parking lot when I didn’t see. Not that I ever think you would see this or read these. If so reply , I would love to take you out.
You know if this is you.

Girl with the bee tattoo – m4w (RVA)
You let me cut in front of you at Wal-mart yesterday (3/27) I struck up a conversation about your bee tattoo and bee keeping. If you’re reading this I think you’re really cute and would love to grab a drink sometime. Reply to this ad if you’re interested.

next door dude with red truck – m4m (richmond)
You’re the dude in apartments next door with red truck, seems we check each other out every time we see each other – definitely want to meet you. You seem like a regular guy, brown hair, usually wear ball cap, slender, always working on your truck. I’m on the slender side too, 5’11”, blond, outdoors a lot when I see you and want to talk and see where this goes. Very discreet, laid back guy here, keep things to myself. Hit me up if you happen to see this and want to talk.

Hot guy with gorgeous eyes – w4m (Chesterfield)
I work with you. I think you’re hot and have the most incredible eyes. I think about you often and wonder if you feel the same. If you think this is you, put my favorite movie in the subject. If you respond, I know I have a chance.

Five guys girl. Sam c. – m4w (Five guys on broad at vcu)
Bought one too many five guys burgers on Wednesdays just to see you. You are short with intense eyes. I think your name is samantha. C. I am the slightly over weight guy who smiles and leaves the moment I get my order. I wore a white collar outfit the first time I saw you. I had a pen in the pocket like a geek.

Carytown Skateboard – m4m (Carytown)

Happy hour the other day – m4m (Near Downtown)
Hey bud. Enjoyed the drink. Story about the pic was a good one. It’s not the girls you can’t bring around, is it? Age in ad refers to you.

Weathered Giovanni Ribisi type at SubRosa – m4m
You: A slightly weathered and dinged up version of Giovanni Ribisi sipping a coffee outside SubRosa during the Church Hill Irish fest.

Me: A hotter version of Clint Howard wearing lime green corduroy pants with a belt buckle that has a visible arrow pointing downward that said “Kiss It, it’s Irish”. I was also wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.

I listened to your conversation with your hipster friend where you riffed on Cheers and Miami Vice and knew you were the guy for me. I was hoping you would notice my belt buckle after I gave you a subtle smile but alas it was all for naught. Maybe that 6’4″ hunk in the kilt noticed my subtle smile?
