Beer Glass – m4w (VCU)

So, I used this “beer glass” at a college party about a year ago because I don’t drink alcohol. I was hoping that, because it was dark and everyone else was drinking, no one would notice that it wasn’t actually beer. I’m not straightedge. I just don’t like drinking because it reminds me of my mother. Especially red wine in unusually large wine glasses. With lipstick smeared all over the rim.

I met you at that college party, and although you didn’t have red smeared on your lips, you had a familiar look of both drunk and tired. You came up to me and took the glass from my hand, drinking what was inside, confusedly asking, “What was that, water?” Yes, it was. You looked at my “beer glass” and threw your head back, laughing so sweetly.

Alcohol loosened your tongue, and you told me about your boyfriend who installed a stupid spoiler on your car without asking, who “borrows” money from your purse, and who speaks mostly in Hangover quotes. We talked for almost two hours: in the stairwell, in the living room, finally in the back yard. You told me about your father who, when you were 12, simply stopped speaking. First to you and your family, and then to everyone. “Life’s complicated,” I told you. “That doesn’t explain anything,” you said.

I didn’t ask for your number because you genuinely loved your boyfriend. I was too scared to post a missed connections for you all this time, and I’ve given up the hope that I’ll run into you again. Instead of looking at this “beer glass” and being reminded of what could have been, it’s sitting at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore where I donated it. I can only hope that by chance you will see it there. You might wonder, “why would someone ever buy something like that?”

Want to kiss your feet – m4w (rva)

Hey!
I’m an attractive guy in great shape looking for an attractive girl who’d be willing to rub their feet in my face. I’ll paint your toes and anything else you want. I can pay you too if that’s what you want.

I promise I’m actually sane! I just have a thing for feet.
Please change the subject to ‘pamper my feet’.

Yes I’m real. The weather in Richmond is beautiful today. Thanks for reading!

Redhead at County Fair Friday night – m4w (Chesterfield)

You long red hair with maybe a little streak, gray tank top and blue jeans. You caught me checking you out at the drop zone and I don’t really care, your smile was beautiful and your lips looks delicious. I was the older very tall mwm salt and pepper hair, but I noticed that you liked me checking you out, so if you read this hit me up and lets talk about our little slice of chemistry.

Doctor/patient fantasy – m4w (Moseley)

I thought this would be a fun idea. I’m a doctor (MD). I’m attractive, 5′-9″, stocky build, brown and gray hair. I would love to play out a doctor/patient fantasy with the right lady. Let’s be adventurous! Due to my profession, discretion is a must.

Shopping for wine at Wegman’s on Friday Night – m4w (Midlothian)

I know this is shot in the dark, but what the hey, I’m curious. I left my cart in the middle of the aisle, not realizing I was blocking your way. We ended up talking a little bit about wine and I handed over a bottle I thought you might like based upon our conversation. I am very curious as to your thoughts. Was it good? I was rude in that I did not properly introduce myself, but I am curious if you liked it. Let me know the vintner in your response so I know it’s you.
