Best of VA Missed Connections February 13 – February 19

by | Feb 19, 2019 | WTF?!

Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but judging by this week’s jam-packed Missed Connections, a lot of people out there are still looking for love in all the wrong places.

It’s been a tough February for some of us too — especially Tommie the pit bull, whose tragic story touched us all. Others have wrecked cars to deal with, and that’s never fun. It can leave us breaking the typical Missed Connections mood to offer a very sincere plea for genuine people.

But it’s not all bad times in this week’s selection from the files of Craigslist; hope still has a place in our hearts. Whether you’re looking for a long-lost roommate, trying to catch back up with that alluring lesbian classmate who never did tell you the story of her high school track coach, or just trying to figure out who keeps driving through your alley, you might find what you’re looking for in this week’s Missed Connections.

Fire it up, Virginia.

Genuine? (Fredericksburg)

Where are the genuine people at these days?

To the girl that wrecked her car today (Old Gun Road)

Dear Young Lady,

I hope you are ok. You seemed so afraid and shaken. I would have been too. It was a serious accident and I’m so glad you were able to walk away from it. Old Gun Road is a dangerous road and you are by far not the first, nor the last to have trouble on it.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, just remember…….this too shall pass. You didn’t get hurt. Cars are just stuff and can be replaced. You live to fight another day. In the end….this is a day to feel lucky, to learn, and then move right on.

Signed,

The Father of two, who’s tree you hit.

TOMMIE THE BURNED PIT BULL DOG (richmond)

Thank you to whoever find this sub human and please again note,this is not a joke, you will in fact Receive $25,000 if you know who did this!

Starbucks Rt 1 near VCC redhead (Starbucks today)

You were studying…..books out hard at work at abiut 11:30. Red hair….purple pants. You had a glow of happiness and kindness about you….lit up the room. Thanks for making the world a better place.

Outside of the brewery (Virginia Beach)

To the pretty girl that followed me outside just to talk to me, thank you for the compliment; it really meant a lot.

picked up medication (Virginia)

Goddamn Sir, that ass was fat! How the way it moved in dem joggers — I wouldn’t care if you caught me staring — I’ve only met one other man with an ass as fantastic as yours. And that beautiful skin. All that military conditioning — WOOF!

Not that I wouldn’t go down with a fight. You’re much stronger than me. That nice smile. Your patient demeanour. Those muscles…

That ass! You know you have EVERYONE turn their heads and you love it!

Thank you for patience. I hope I get to see you again soon.

Young hot minivan mom (Fredericksburg)

There was a young lady parked at the pump next to me at wawa a few days ago and I’d like to find her and take her to dinner. She looked to be early 20s, her hair is kind of dark, long and was down and had it curled. Dear girl,

You were driving a dark blue Toyota minivan with temporary tags. Maybe you were just borrowing a friends vehicle, as you look too young and hot for any kids, but whatever. You have a really nice butt. There was a sticker on the back windshield that said “there’s hella kids in here” which made me chuckle when I saw it as you were driving away. I don’t know how many “hella” is, but you can only fit 5, 6 tops in a minivan and there’s worse baggage you could have than some babies. I noticed there’s no ring on your finger, so hopefully there’s no crazy “baby daddy” that comes along with you. If not, I’d like to take you out sometime for dinner and drinks (if you’re not old enough for drinks please don’t reply).

I’m military, I’m 33, mediocrely handsome, averagely in shape, I’m not in debt, drive an F350 with some bangin tires, and I want to get to know you. Who knows, maybe we’ll fall in love and one day upgrade you to a mini-bus? I like kids.

Hope to hear from you soon

Swish and Flick (Innsbrook)

You came into the restaurant I work at and I saw a license plate in the parking lot that read SWSH FLK and said it was a Harry Potter reference and you gave me a look and said it could mean something else. Well I found out what it meant and I’m definitely interested in you. Let’s meet up sometime.

Colorful Leggings Playing With Your Dog Friday (Richmond, VA)

Jackson Ward near Adams Street and Leigh. I was walking by, you were playing with your dog in the grass Friday afternoon. Your smile was stunning, the way you filled out those colorful leggings was jaw dropping. I think you smiled at me, but that might just be wishful thinking. I am pretty sure you live nearby (and possibly drive an older maroon/red SUV). I am not your typical “man” is a hint I would give you if you happen to be reading this. I doubt you will but if you do..I would like to get to know you.

I live nearby and I am a smoker, I have been looking that way since hoping to see you again every time I go outside to smoke a cigarette.

In your Expedition (Carytown)

I saw you driving through the alleys a few times. Tell me what car I was in. Were you trying to signal me? What were you looking for, bud?

seen: long lost lesbian 5th-grade classmate (between my memories)

this was a while ago– the last first friday of 2018, on the corner of broad and shafer, crossing for the bus, around 9pm i wanna say. you were with your friend who had a cane and had just graduated; i believe i complimented them on their cap and gown but you looked at me just a second longer than i’m used to as if in recognition but i was too shy to say anything. i wish i had. i have been thinking about you somewhat lately; i thought i saw you on the richmond dog park facebook page but you never added back. i remember back in 2008 you running around all elfin at the playground singing ‘gay or european’, gushing about xena, making both the boys and girls compete to be by your side in your mock-queenship. i always admired that. i don’t usually reach out old classmates, nor do i have any romantic intentions, but you have remained such an enigma and its such a longshot on here plus i just want to know you still exist.

Bo’s Cafe (King George)

I saw you eating with people who I assume were your parents. You were wearing a cardigan and had dark, curly hair and big glasses. I thought you were pretty, but I never said hello.

Who knows, maybe this will work?

Looking for Blaine A. Fields (New Kent/Richmond/possibly others)

I’m looking for my long lost roommate. It’s as though he has vanished. I’ve tried calling and texting him, I’ve tried different emails, I’ve tried sending mail to known former addresses. I’m stumped. It’s as though he has fallen off the face of the earth! I would be utterly devastated if he’s passed on. Blaine was a very social guy and kept up with everybody! He was the best friend that anyone could have.

I do know that he got married and I would love to meet his new family.

Praying that I hear from him!

Should have tried harder (Richmond)

We talked while getting gas at the Broad St Costco months ago. I saw you walking in, and we looked at each other as I drove out. I should have parked and gone in again.

You’re changing the world… (Crozet)

We ran into each other as you were going in and I was coming out. Seriously…I was stopped in my tracks and left so much out of what I wanted to say. You…yoga. Me…no idea. Let me hear from you, please.

amy at UVA/NC (Charlottesville)

We were having a nice conversation over the summer, but got interrupted before I could get your contact info. I know you’re back at school now and I’m hoping you’ll see this so we can continue the conversation. There was a story about your hs track coach that I wanted to hear.

Looking for MikeMike (Henrico)

I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking for a guy named Mike I met when I worked at the Aplus off of Glenside and staples mill. You lived one or two streets over from the store. It’s been months since we spoke, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with you. We hung out a couple of times and I would like to see you again. I lived off of Hilliard and lakeside by the 7eleven. Tell me my name if it’s you.

Prometrics testing today beautiful blond (Knuckles road)

You were stunning in your pink pullover. We made some small talk but we’re both pretty focused and didn’t want to add any stress. Would love to get together for a drink or some fun with you any day. Hope you were as intrigued as I was. Let me know your name in your response so I can make sure it’s you. It was a pleasure.

CFS Friend (Fredericksburg)

I’m looking for my friend Stephanie that worked at CFS a long time ago. We use to hang out all the time and even did karaoke. I’ve been thinking a lot about you recently and would like to connect with you again. Me, you, and Emmanuel hung out often. Please message me.

Happy Valentine’s Day S.

God, I miss you. I wish you would give is another chance. I know you tried. I know I hurt you. I just want US again please

Three oaks guy

I see you occasionally walking your dog, a chocolate lab. Your smile is to die for, I often wonder if you see me checking you out..but then again, I won’t strike conversation so just know you’re admired 🙂

Arby’s 9080 West Broad (Richmond)

You were the cute, young Asian guy that took our order at the Arby’s on West Broad near West End Dr. The receipt has a name on it that starts with L. Not sure if that’s your name or another employee that was logged into the cash register you took my order on. I would like to take you out.

You were loading a bunch of pizzas into a white suv (Little Ceasers Hopewell)

You were loading pizzas into a white suv about 2:20 Saturday. All I can say is while. I wanted to approach you but were people in SUV and been weird. Lets go get a drink.

Taekwondo belt ceremony

We were both at belt testing Friday night. Would love to chat. So I know it’s you, describe you or the shirt I was wearing…

girl riding away on bus

Pretty curly haired blond with a cute cute smile climbing the stairs onto the bus. I was the dirty blond with a blue beanie waving goodbye. hope to see you again, soon. In the meantime, i tried to put together a lil thing from lyrics that remind me of that cute girl looking goodybye. i am not good at this, but that’s ok I suppose:

when the hours are still

light moves across this room

like it could reach us.

my one, bad as the sun, raises up

her voice to say

we’ve got time.

when the hours are still

the moon looks fine from where we lay

oh, how I would trade all my yesterdays

for one more day

with you.

miss it when it’s gone and love

know it’s always gonna come back around.

I believed in something

knew its coming

when we are already there, it seems.

here together, still.

4mv love wk
