Best of VA Missed Connections April 10 – April 16

by | Apr 16, 2019 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

It’s still a bit chilly today but the weatherman says that spring is really honestly actually finally here, so it’s really no surprise that everyone’s writing Missed Connections from the gym this week. Gotta work on that beach bod, amirite?

In addition to a fair amount of surreptitious gazing happening at the gym, the Monument 10K created a few missed connections of its own this week. Shouts out to everyone flirting with runners, though I do have one tip: chances are, if a woman “forgot” to give you her number, she didn’t actually forget anything.

For the rest of you grocery store flirts and ABC store cruisers, this week is for you. And as always we’ve got to give it up to Wawa as the single most likely origination point for any Missed Connection, though just between you and me, Sheetz is way better. Yeah, I said it.

Get your coffee on, Virginia.

You need someone to talk to (Richmond)

This post is for you.

Everyday we struggle with the trials and tribulations that life throws at us and we don’t always have someone to speak to, vent to or talk things through.

I’m here to provide the ears and opinions to those in their time of need.

By no means do I claim to be a professional or all knowing. I’m simply here for you to talk to and hopefully provide some ideas and means to remedy your bothersome situation.

I have my own past that I am fully willing to disclose upon your request.

Serious inquiries please. I’m here to help.

The struggle is real everyday.

Canal Club

You accidentally ran into me a few times during the INK set, but it’s all good-I’d forgive that smile anytime. We stood by each other for the rest of the set, I only caught your name till we both disappeared into the crowd to leave. Wish I had caught more though. If you ever happen to see this, tell me your name and (if you remember), what I complimented you on.

What happened to Melissa who worked at the old ABC store on Cedar Road (Chesapeake, Great Bridge in Shopping Center on West Cedar Rd)

W Cedar Road. She was so friendly and nice, and also so attractive, as well as Sexy. She was always smiling, and when she saw you, once she knew you, she would come up and give you a big hug. Does she work at another ABC store, or somewhere else. Let me know if you know anything. Love to make contact with her.
