Best Of VA Missed Connections March 18 – March 25

by | Mar 24, 2020 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

It’s surprising to see just how strongly the Missed Connections roll on regardless of the fact that we’re all quarantined in our homes. Personally, I’ve only been around other people once in the past week — I was at the grocery store, frantically trying to grab some toilet paper. How is it still out of stock everywhere? Do some of you have entire spare rooms filled to the ceiling with toilet paper? Were you hoping to buy enough to last the rest of your life?

Anyway, there are apparently still other ways to interact with people besides fighting with them over the last pack of crappy generic TP, and the people in Missed Connections are finding them this week. From checkout lines to hospital waiting rooms to broken down on the side of the road, people in the most desperate of circumstances are still checking each other out. And of course, people spending way more time alone than they’re used to are delving into the back of their minds to obsess over unrequited crushes of the past. Don’t do that, y’all — social distancing is difficult enough without emotionally torturing yourself.

On a lighter note, there’s at least one guy out there who sees a glory hole as a proper way to get around the quarantine guidelines we’re all under. Message to that dude: this is a bad idea. You can’t socially distance with a stranger’s junk in your mouth. But no one ever said you couldn’t make plans…

Save it for later, Virginia.

I wish… (Richmond)

We could have been quarantined together. Maybe the next pandemic.

Bored?, going stir crazy, always wanted to try it, then Let me draw you like one of my French girls….

Okay.

I want you too. I asked for signs. And now no reason to ignore them anymore.
This couldn’t be a weirder time.
But when this thing is over. We’ll go from there.
See you around…

Snow

You were in my dreams last night. It’s been five years, so I’ve no clue why. Maybe because your birthday is mere weeks away. Maybe this IS the apocalypse. If not, have a Happy Birthday, Doc.

Looking for Her (Roanoke)

Looking to make a connection now so that we can have fun after all the madness is over. Are you stuck at home looking forward to things getting back to normal? I would love to form a relationship with a likeminded woman, build the tension, share fantasies and then see where it goes. Discretion is very important. I am in my mid thirties, 6 foot and in good shape. Age is not important to me, confidence is!
