Best Of VA Missed Connections February 6 – February 12

by | Feb 12, 2019 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

It’s rainy and gross out this week, so I suppose it’s no surprise that methods of transportation are big in this week’s Missed Connections. Whether you’re stopping on Afton Mountain, waiting in the drive-thru line at KFC, or chatting about custom bikes at the DMV, cars seem to be a great way to get people’s attention. Do you own a motor vehicle? If so, this week is for you!

Of course, service industry workers remain a perennial favorite object of unrequited attraction from afar, which I suppose is only fair considering how little those jobs pay. Looking to get out from behind the cash register? You just might find your savior in the Missed Connections!

So dive in, Virginia.

Moon Hooch/October (Broadberry)

You are much younger then I and danced next to me all night. I couldn’t make eye contact with you; I was with my niece. But I noticed you, you are a very attractive man and I haven’t forgotten. If you remember, contact me.

Biker Guy From the Weekly Bike Meet Aug 2018 (Broad St.)

Back in the late summer we met at the weekly local meet up. At the time I had a boyfriend but you said if anything were to happen I should let you know. Well, we broke up and I never forgot meeting you. You said you would give me your number for me to keep in case I was ever single and wanted to meet. At the time I was a good girl and I turned your number down, but now I am regretting not at least taking your number considering how my BF and I split. You had a very popular American made Cruiser. If yo remember me, please reach out. You told me you check this site out often so I hope you’ll see this and reply.

Westlake Apartments Delivery 12/17 Afternoon (Southside, RVA)

Dude, I brought something to your apartment early afternoon. It was all I could do to not stare awkwardly during the entire exchange.

I remarked on your “colorful” pants, though that really wasn’t the word I was looking for. Those things hugged you in all the right places and I could tell you were in great shape everywhere else. And you were a damn nice guy to boot.

If there’s any way you’d be interested in my making an off-the-clock delivery, hit me up!

This weather is insane! I am insanely bored and even more lonely. Just wanting communication. I have given up on ever finding love as I don’t believe it exists. But still hoping talk, to vent, to get to know someone. That is always fun!
