Best of RVA Missed Connections 9/13-9/20

by | Sep 20, 2016 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

Whether it’s the rainy and cloudy weather or the long lines in Starbucks, people are taking that extra look around to find their fall partner.

Whether it’s the rainy and cloudy weather or the long lines in Starbucks, people are taking that extra look around to find their fall partner. This week is full of longing looks across the room, exciting walks through Jackson Ward, and will someone please tell this man what fell out of his pocket at the Dollar General!

Cue the sappy love letters of this week’s batch of missed connections.

It’s raining and im thinking about you – w4m (Richmond)

I met you back around Christmas time at banditos. We went home together and afterwards saw each other for about a week or two. Ultimately you got back together with your ex girlfriend. I still think about you sometimes, and I feel like out of anyone I’ve ever met, I have the most in common with you. You don’t use social media and I got a new phone. And I tried leaving a note. Anyway, I just wanted to talk to you again to see if you would be my friend. But as I’m writing this, I see how pathetic and lame me saying that is. Sigh. If we never talk again, please know that I think you’re intelligent, that it’s awesome you’re also into comics and zines, and I think the way you can work with your hands on bikes and now houses is very impressive. Oh and also I heard you were at the Joyce Manor show too and that news broke my heart.

You Pulled My Ponytail & My Heartstrings – m4w (Colonial Heights)

Hi,

If you recognize that title, and Disney comes to mind, then this message miraculously reached you. I just wanted to tell you how delightful a person you are; that in the brief time I have known you I have felt such a warmth radiating from you. There is a sparkle in your eyes I noticed for the first time. It makes me hopeful for the future, which is something that has been fairly bleak until recently. I’m not writing this in hopes of “hooking up” with you. There is something shining and bright about you and I just want to at least bask in the afterglow of you.
I hope you see this and that all your wishes were granted, J.

Starbucks VCC 830am Tuesday – m4w (Va Center area)

You come in each Tuesday around 8:30. Today you wore a green and black zip up hoodie and perfect black workout pants. You have pretty brown hair, a sexy smile, classy and distinct glasses. You genuinely light up a room when you enter. You are beautiful with ease and stand out in such a positive way. If you see this and know Im your admirer, drop a note with my shirt color and let me know if I can buy your coffee next Tuesday 🙂

Marriott – w4m (Downtown)

it’s a long shot, but I’m an eternal optimist. My cousin introduced you to me as her friend, even though you just met each other. I wanted to get know you, but you took off too quickly. I was hoping maybe you would meet me at the bar again, but I didn’t see you. Hopefully you will look here for me!
