Best of RVA Missed Connections 9/5/17-9/12/17

by | Sep 12, 2017 | WTF?!

In this week’s batch of Missed Connections, sparks fly over bow ties at Hardywood, a Hermitage High 2007 alum looks for an old crush, two strangers REALLY bond over dipping sauce, and apparently Food Lion is the place to be to catch nip slips? Check all that out and more below.

We’re friends, are you into me? – m4m (Richmond, VA) 

We’ve been friends for a while now and I think we like each other. Both of us are openly straight, which makes it hard to ever bring it up. I drove you somewhere around a month ago. If you think it’s me, reply with which date and where we went.

Carpool Twink – m4m

I was at West Broad Carpool today at 12. You were the dark-haired, skinny twink that worked on my car. Damn it, you’re cute.

Hardywood Brewery – m4w

We were at Hardywood brewery on Thursday evening. I had just gotten off work and was wearing a bow tie. You were a gorgeous brunette who commented that my bow tie was “awesome.” I mumbled something completely incoherent in reply because I’m a spaz around attractive women and you smiled at my obvious awkwardness. Maybe we could have a drink there some time.

What being untrue to myself has cost me – w4m

We’ve been friends for a long time. I have always loved you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw your face. I was actually terrified. Every time you’ve ever looked me in the eye I’ve felt a devastating connection. A spark, something electric like getting shocked. Yes, I’ve been in love with you for a long time.

I could never be honest with you about my feelings because they were too complicated, and I couldn’t be honest with myself about them either – there were too many problems I needed to sort out on my own, first. And I was too lazy to ever sort them. I was content just to hover in the back of your mind from time to time. I let the vaguest fantasy of you get me through the dull, endless days. I have always been weak and cowardly.

I’m sorry I never tried to take more risks and really open up to you. I don’t know if it ever would have worked, though. We are fundamentally different in too many important ways. You could never, I think, love someone as weak and broken as I am. Plus, now, I’ve worked so hard to destroy myself with substances and self-hatred that I wouldn’t even wish myself upon my worst enemy.

You finally have someone of your own, someone perfect for you. beautiful in every way. Someone I can never be. I’m beating myself up, hard, for my own failures…I’m happy for you but it hurts me it hurts because I know this pain is no ones fault but mine. I should grow up and get my shit together, I have been crying all day.

All I can think about is the beautiful path you two have to walk together…from glorious autumn days hand in hand, into whatever future you build. I can’t be jealous, but I don’t know what else to do with the agony I am in knowing I’ll never feel that way again, that I am unlovable, disgusting and unfixable. Your glowing, radiant joy should make me happy – but I am currupt and awful and all i can do is want to die. I honestly have no idea how I am going to go on.

I wish I could have been a better person, an honest one, and a strong one.

I know you won’t see this, but there’s no one else I can tell.

Anyone else out there who might happen to read this ridiculous shit – don’t waste your time, don’t lie to yourself, don’t live in dreams. Go out and make shit happen for yourself before it is too late. It’s too late for me – but trust me – missing opportunities is the worst thing. The Worst Thing. Even failure or death is better. Death is definitely better.

Came in for dipping sauce – m4m 

You came in to the chicken place I work because they for got your dipping sauce for your tenders in drive-thru

You were wearing a red shirt and grey sweats, and your hair in a pony tail, you also had your nails in the grey shad. I thought you was cute and wanted to talk then but we were a lil busy. I hope you see this because I would love to take you for drinks or just talk some time

Hermitage high class of 2007 Rebbeca – m4w (Glen Allen) 

I’m in search of a girl who was in my world history class at Jsr in fall 2007. You had red hair and went to Hermitage high. I ignored you when we were at JSR together but I am interested now.

Or if you know me from Hanover High or somewhere else around town like through rrrc, feel free to email me.

CuteBlack Lab Pup and You… – m4m (Monument Ave)

Really cute mental picture of you (sunglasses, baseball cap) and pup with a red leash on a beautiful day today…around 4 or 4:30 pm sitting on the grassy median together. Not sure who was cuter or cuddlier.. ; ) Had to rush home or I would have turned around…Hit me up if you think this is you.

Let’s do this asap- you host – w4m

Serious replies only!

Looking for a man that likes being with bbw, big women, fat women, etc whatever you’d like to call them. You must be ddf and able to host. Im mostly attracted to tall white men, muscular or sticky build, at least 6 feet or taller. That’s just my preference, of you don’t like your women chubby and round, then I’m not for you. Don’t care about your homenlife, not trying to change out situations just looking for someone who has similar availability. Only serious replies, must provide a pic.  Happy hunting!
