Best Of VA Missed Connections January 22 – January 28

by | Jan 28, 2020 | WTF?!

Welcome to this week’s Missed Connections, where the kind of sensible dating advice you’d expect to be a no-brainer (“pee first”) turns out to be a strike against you. Of course, this is why dating over the internet turned out to be such a great idea — because we’re all total weirdos, and it’s much easier to admit that from the other side of a computer screen.

This week’s MC installment also includes some truly great ones: Texas Beach cruisers who can’t get decade-old encounters out of their heads, street photographers falling in love with passing joggers, and some flirtation between UberEats and GrubHub drivers… does that sound like the beginning of a 21st-century version of West Side Story to anyone else?

One quick word of advice for y’all — never try to get somewhere with a woman by telling her she needs to smile more. No one wants to date someone who says the same annoying shit their boss from the McDonalds they worked at in high school used to say all the time.

On a more positive note, shouts out to the anime nerds flirting over Evangelion. Y’all sound like my kind of people.

Get weird, Virginia.

Seeking…

…a mature woman with a full bladder. In Richmond at the end of March.

Plus Sized Women Are Beautiful

I am an established man who has an opinion tonight. I think plus sized women, or women who have a little extra are beautiful. I have absolutely nothing against women who are on the smaller size. I just think it’s something so awesome about a beautiful plus sized woman. Especially one who is sweet on the inside as well. Just showing you women with a little extra some love tonight.

No toes in sight (Surrounding Area)

The dog days of Winter have all the cute toes bundled up in boots and shoes. I long to see the warm days of Spring as the warm air has the sight of sweet feet for guys like me to enjoy. Care to share yours Ladies ? A warm set of hands await. Mature male with gentle touch. Shoe size in subject line will get my attention.

Tuesdays At Texas Beach 10 yrs. ago

Tuesdays were your days off and you would come to Texas Beach to sunbathe. This was about 10 yrs. ago – long shot – I know. You were always ‘suits required’ & I was always ‘optional’ We ran into eachother lolling on the rocks maybe 4 times, nods and hellos, never did any fooling around though – drat it! There was strong attraction btw us. In parting I always exclaimed the same thing to you and you grinned like the sun. Maybe you’re still around town. If this seems familiar, what did I say about you? M4M just so ya know…

You waved (Goochland)

Bear daddy at Food Lion we flirted in store the ended up we parked beside each other. I came out after you and you waved at me. Grrr. I got in car with my significant other but you sat there staring over. Interested?

My breath was taken away on 1st street (Roanoke)

I was at the top of the pedestrian bridge by 1st street taking pictures. You walked past me after what seemed like a jogging session. We greeted each other and made eye contact. We shared a moment but I was too taken back by your beauty and glow to muster up the courage to stop you and chat you up. I feel like such a dork doing this lol, but I can’t help it as I’m a hopeless romantic. It’s funny how a brief moment of nervousness and inaction, can lead to hours or even days worth of regret. At the very least it was a great lesson to stay present and live in the moment.

So I leave this here in case you one day come across it, and our chance to connect gets a second chance. You would remember me by my unique ride. 

A connection that’s missing (Chesapeake)

There’s never a more isolated feeling in a relationship , than being alone. It’s a situation that seems to only worsen , no communication , no connection , your voice and opinions go unnoticed and the physical chemistry doesn’t exist. The arguments escalate and the emotional gap widens. The question remains , am I the only one who feels this way ?

Hiro Sushi – GrubHub guy (Midlothian)

Can’t remember your name, but I was the guy waiting for food to deliver for Uber Eats. You were delivering for GrubHub. You commented on my Chelsea jacket and started a conversation with me. You asked if I was a coach. I had to get the staffs attention so I could deliver the food, but I wanted to chat more with you. Sorry I walked away without finishing our conversation, but I felt awkward waiting for you. If you want to hang out sometime, let me know.
