Just when the weather was cooling down, summer came back and smacked us all in the face like a disobedient child.


Just when the weather was cooling down, summer came back and smacked us all in the face like a disobedient child.

So now’s the perfect time to find some AC and a lucky man or woman to get cool with – perhaps you’ll find them below.

So keep posting those creative CL posts folks – and if you think you’re the one the poster missed, don’t hesitate to ‘go for a ride…’

Helping hand lol – m4w (west end) 7/21

Home Depot paint- Brunette w/ reddish pants – m4w – 38 7/20

So this was the Home Depot on Broad by Glenside. It was around 1:30pm on Sunday. You were walking up to the paint counter and we caught eyes and both kinda made an awkward eyebrow raised face. hahha.. I ‘m sure that’s an appropriate greeting somewhere. Anyway. You had on reddish pants, a white top and sunglasses hanging from the neck of you shirt. You had brown hair and brown eyes. So what were you painting pinkish anyway? I was listening to you talk to the paint mixing people and you sounded so nice. I have a lot more painting to do so yeah, you can help ;). There is a smoothie in it for ya!

John at Lombardy Coin Laundry – w4m – 34 (Floyd and Lombardy) 7/20

If your blues eyes hadn’t left me speechless I would have returned the complement or asked you to lunch.

Thank you again for what you said. I was sort of having a bad week, the kind where you contemplate giving up over your frozen dinner for one. I’ve got the confidence and self esteem of a turtle… Being called pretty is going to help me keep my chin up for a very long time.

Sad girl in the hall on Grove St apt. – m4w – 24 (the fan) 7/20

Around 2 tonight I heard banging down the hall and I spoke with you. You seemed pretty upset about your friends boyfriend? Idk what happened but after we talked you thanked me for checking on you and walked away. I can’t help but feel upset about whatever happened. You seem like a very nice girl and you’re beautiful. Not someone I would ever want to see cry. This is probably a shot in the dark and a pretty unusual way to talk to a girl but if you see this and want to talk or maybe get to know each other hit me up.

Almost bike collision – m4w (Fan) 7/18

I was the creepy guy on the bike that almost ran you over at w. grace and meadow Thursday night around midnight. By creepy I mean actually handsome, longish hair guy. I sheepishly exclaimed, “hey how’s it going.” You did not respond. Smart move. But your face said, “yes, this is a creepy situation – me walking alone on grace st. at midnight, however, he actually is a pretty good looking, normal dude.” But me, being the gentleman that I am, kept riding because I didn’t want to be creepy. I truly wanted to ride back and just say: “hey, you should come to this show with me — oh, and on a side note, you are beautiful and should not be walking home alone – especially on grace at midnight.” I kind of wish we had actually collided…

Cap’n Kittymuffnz – w4m (Richmond) 7/17

I was hanging out with a guy friend at the bar on $3 can night. You were super chipper and cute. Pretty sure you were lookin at me, and I was definitely lookin at you. Dunno if you read these, but I figure it’s worth a shot. Wanna hang out?

Treadmill Beauty – m4w (Mechanicsville/Burkwood) 7/15

We’ve been next to each other now a couple of times on the treadmills at Burkwood (evenings). You are young but oh so cute! You had on a VA Tech shirt the fist time we worked out side by side. Thanks for inspiring me to push myself beyond what I normally would do. Even though you probably have no interest in this “older” guy, I look forward to seeing you every time I come to the gym. 🙂

To the lovely girl with the pink flower in her hair – m4w (Harrison st) 7/15

Where to begin? We met this afternoon at Harrison st cafe. You were meeting up with some friends and I was grabbing a quick bite by myself. Your friend was in line a head of me ordering her food, but you jumped in line behind me so as not to cut anyone. A courteous act which I was grateful for, but I offered for you to jump ahead of me anyway as it wouldn’t have been a bother to me. You turned it down and showed your polite nature. I didn’t expect to meet someone so charming when I stepped out of the door today, and that smile of your’s could melt an ice king’s heart. I would have loved to continue to strike up a conversation with you, but alas! I must admit I was a bit nervous and lost my words like a set of keys you don’t realize were just in a different pocket the whole time. I suppose what I’m trying to say is you seem like the sort of groovy individual I would vibe with, and I’d love to get to know you, charming stranger, over a delicious beverage of some sort. If you read these and would be interested, let me know. If you don’t read these, which is a strong possibility, maybe we’ll cross paths again and I’ll know which pocket my keys are in this time. Haha
