Best of VA Missed Connections January 29 – February 4

by | Feb 4, 2020 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

It’s time for another week of Missed Connections from around Virginia — where, in a lot of places, blue-tailed lizards are more than just a metaphor. If you grew up in the country, you know what I’m talking about; growing up, it was always hilarious when a lizard foiled my hungry cat and left him holding onto a little blue tail with one claw. Chill out, kitty, you know there’s food in your bowl.

Speaking of food, winter is a great time for hearty meals, and a whole bunch of you are apparently dining at Outback these days. Sounds like it’s a real meat market around there, and I don’t (just) mean steak. Meanwhile, it seems like everyone else’s missed connections are happening in grocery stores. Have we got food on the brain, Virginia? Or was everyone just getting prepped for the “big game”?

Either way, we strongly support that smiles-across-the-milk-aisle vibe. Buy one of those high-end frozen pizzas and invite that cutie over for a Netflix date. That’s what winter’s all about.

Snuggle up, Virginia.

To my Skinks

Virginia has a lot of lizards that will leave you holding on to their blue tail.

walking dog on city trail (O-Hill)

We passed each other on a city trail mid-day Sunday; I was running, and you were walking. I commented on how well behaved your dog is. I like to think we can tell a lot about a person by how they interact with their pets.

Would love to grab a cup of coffee. 3 

Crazy about love and life..

I am the type of girl you never met, but always wanted to. I wanna have fun. I hardly complain and I don’t get mad easily. Do you wanna know more? Curious about me? If you’re the fun type of guy, caring and most of all, spontaneous…one who doesn’t shy away from a little bit of craziness, then I want to know you! 

Chester Target 2/1

Never attempted this. But you were white female walking out of the Chester target with what looked like could have been your sister and I stopped to just In case you were crossing into the parking lot. Wasn’t expecting the smile and wave but damn if it hasn’t consumed my mind. Something about that smile. Hoping to find you and seriously regret not turning around and at least seeing that smile again and talking to you.

BJ’s Mechanicsville (Mechanicsville)

Tonight, Saturday, 630ish. I bumped into you on the milk aisle. You were getting eggs. You made a awesome comment on your Ass. Which made me do a double take. I wanted to comment but didn’t know who you were with. I would love to chat with you. Send me a note if you ever see this.

In line at Target last night (S Laburnum Ave.)

We were in line just before close. You had a few more things and let me go a head of you. I thought you were super cute. If this is you reply with what I was buying. If you’re on Quickmeet let me know what name you go by.

Wendys at VCC

I was at wendys on Saturday, saw you standing in line with an older man. You’re a cute thin twink with dark hair. If you like older men, I’ll be your daddy.

Long line at the Gayton Kroger checkout. Want to meet up for a coffee sometime?
