Best Of VA Missed Connections August 5 – August 11

by | Aug 11, 2020 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

We’re getting downright produce-minded in the Missed Connections, and who can blame us? After sitting inside all spring, we probably could all do with increasing our fruit intake, especially if it offers us an opportunity to chat up a hottie we can’t take our eyes off of.

This week, we also learn that country guys rate each other by the hats they wear, that meetings in an alleyway CAN be sexy, and that the list of lewd metaphors Missed Connections’ recent influx of Casual-Encounters-by-another-name posters can come up with for sexual solicitations truly has no end.

But look: I don’t really care how bored you are. COVID-19 is more widespread than ever, and hooking up with strangers is just not advised right now. No matter how good they are at crafting a Craigslist post.

On a lighter note, shout out to everyone hanging out on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive in these trying times.

Get some space, Virginia.

Jackfruit (Glen Allen)

So truth be told, I didn’t know anything about a Jackfruit, but saw it as an opportunity to strike up a conversation. You are incredibly beautiful, rocking body, and what seemed to be a carefree spirit. Wish I had asked for your number….

Done with social distancing

I’ve been working from home for 4+ months, and it’s getting boring. 36 WM looking for a F to come break social distancing guidelines with me

Need meat for my veggies (Goochland)

Guy here looking for steak to go with my sides. Let me know

Hot country guy on his way out (Glen Allen)

Hey man, if you by chance see this I would like a chance to meet up. You checked me out and we both double backed to check the other out as you were leaving my job. Just so I know it’s you tell me what kinda hat I was wearing .

Sidewalk Pastry (Old Southwest)

We chatted about pastry as we crossed paths this morning.

You’ve got a great out-going personality – highly attractive quality that’s super rare nowadays. It definitely got my attention.

Wish I got your name as we carried on our own ways.

If you’re interested in hanging out sometime, maybe it could be something more?

Let me know which pastry you specifically mentioned and let’s see where we can go from there.

Hatcher White Dodge (Richmond)

White dodge. You are the most absolutely amazing most beautiful women I have ever seen. Your smile. Everything about you makes me so warm in my heart. Wish you give me a chance.

Neighbor (Norfolk)

You’re a neighbor of mine, we see each other on the beach or in the alley. It would be fun to know if you see this, and are interested in chatting more since you’re usually with friends. You love my puppy.

I Just let me love you (You)

I wish you would let me love you already. We can create a beautiful life you say you long for.

Vanlife UVA nurse with dog (Charlottesville)

We met at blue ridge parkway friday night, I believe it was by the stone fences lookout. I was wearing a grey sweater and was with my dog, while you were chilling by your van with yours. I asked you a few questions about living in your van and you asked me about my dog. It seemed like you wanted to continue talking but I was in a hurry to get home. As soon as I left I regretted it and wished I had stayed for a while.

If you see this, include something about the dog I was with to verify.

Lonely farmer (Hertford)

Just sitting round the shop working on the combine

Sam (Chester/,Varina)

I am looking for the beautiful Samantha. I have to yell you how I feel. I can’t hold it in any longer. If you are out there please get in touch though email. Thanks 

To the older woman I passed in the target parking lot (Newport News)

You smiled at me on the way in and I should have said hello- I wish I didn’t miss the opportunity. I’m 26 long brown salt and pepper hair, and would have loved to take you out(is that even possible right now?). Also if you see this and want to chat I’m open 🙂
