Best of Missed Connections 8/18-22

No matter the weather, love finds a way – be it at a gas station, GWAR-B-Q, or in a downtown gym locker room. Never close your eyes to love, my friend. Because who hates love… well

oral exam, introvert party, cunning linguist – m4w (VCU)

you’re just looking for a good time but no one seems real and, worse, no one can meet your needs. you want someone who’s going to satisfy you and listen to you. you don’t mind the social scene but appreciate the anonymous intimacy of the internet, where the unknown and known swirl together, and you can explore yourself.

me? i just got back from vacation and settling in am reminded of all the fun when school started last year. looking for a clicking fit to snug into the autumn with. (english is not my first language.)

let’s chat.

dusk and its embraces (rva)

Rivets of head worn gold
A great dead army
Please rescue them from us
Make merry in your sad storm
Little plasma
Caravan of torn britches
Sons of negativity
Daughters of doubt
Banners bearing the sign of what once was
Which hammer may mutilate your embryonic mass
Creases in that pile
Perhaps a person polluted
But believed otherwise
But bore schasms
Of old hells scattered like bee bees
Just a war torn resident
Here signaling to there
Vote for new emissions
Puffs of lice
Lurking in your rotted coroners
Ug what last degree
Regretted informally
A missed match
A lighter fluid embalmed in solid state
Behind that bridge

you saw a guy and wanted to fuck him – m4w (RVA)

It probably wasn’t me, but I’m willing to take the fall. Fuck me and you will know how good sex can be. Then walk away free of any commitment or drama. Until you want to experience orgasmS like that again. Notice that I said orgasmS. With a capital S at the end.

To Romeo, from Juliet – w4m

[Romeo], the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget the movie song,
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, [Romeo?]

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I were just another one of your deals?

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah,
Now, you just say, Oh, [Juliet], yeah. You know, I used to have a scene with her.

My Romeo, you know how much I love this song,
And you also know that you exploded in my heart.
I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real,
How can you look at me as if I were just another one of your deals?

Romeo, all I do is miss you and the way we used to be,
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song,
Romeo, it’s just that the time was wrong.
Romeo . . .
Romeo . . .

UnluckyDeadGurl – m4w – 28 (richmond)

I see you at your job,.. and tell myself im fine. The next day im a fucking wreck. It’s been 2 years and i know you are happy with this new kid,.. and im stuck destroying myself over us. You left with out a word ,..never to be seen from again. Im sorry i Hurt you,..and you labeled me as abusive over that relationship and I did to until today. The only time I became abusive is when you would hide things from me,. and when I would find out i took that as you not caring about me at all,.. What ever abuse was minor,.And I refuse to let a couple months out of 6 year relationship,.define it or either party involved.I never ever tried to control you and we both know that. I did get a little ridiculous with the messaging ,. But thats only because I felt like you had the option to read them or ignore them. I would never back you into a corner or let you be anything but free. I love you Kiddo,..and without you the world has no Luster.

downtown gym – runner – m4m – 54 (Richmond)

We talked about running, outside the steamroom. You sat near me in the steamroom and maybe eyed me a few times. I didn’t suggest anything “else” since you had a permanent “symbol” that could suggest your frown upon things like that. If not, I definitely would be interested in more. Tell me what we both had in common, although your’s was bigger. lol 😉 …and I’ll know it’s you.

A letter to the nicest guy at the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah show – w4m – 23 (The Camel)

You wore glasses, the round kind that frame your eyebrows so that you look sort of surprised all the time…in a good way. Like in a “Oh! Hello! Lovely to meet you!” type of way. And a green shirt, probably, I’m totally guessing. The chances of green are high. I just imagine that you wore like faded forest green. Let me tell you, Green Shirt, you’re a nice fucking guy. And here’s why:

Out of the corner of your round-ish glasses, you saw me there. You saw only enough of me to realize I existed, only enough to realize there was less of me than there was of you. However, you did not turn around, see me, think for a few minutes if you reallllly gave a shit, and then ask if I’d like to step in front of you to calm your concious. No, like a reflex, you thought, “oh shit, this fellow human can’t see over my towering body, she should definitely be in front of me.” AND THEN YOU ACTED ON IT. When I thanked you, you were just like “of course, you’re shorter than me”, like it was no big deal. But it was a big deal. You’re a lovely, kind, and generous person and I will always remember you. I will always tell the story of the ONLY tall stranger at any show ever that has let me stand in front of them because it seriously doesn’t make any sense when tall people stand in front of freakishly short people at shows.

I was there by myself and I told you that you were one of the best people on earth, but I am unsure if you heard me. Then you touched my shoulder like we were old friends, and any anxiousness flew far away from me. So thank you, Green Shirt, your pure and effortless kindness (and the band rocking the F out) truly made my evening.

Quite sincerely,
— just-realized-she-was-also-wearing-a-green-shirt

Two good looking cops at the Regal movies on Friday, 15-August – m4m (VA Center Commons Mall)

You both were extremely good looking. I came in with a couple of buddies, we were all military, and went to see the new cop movie. It was sort of busy so I doubt you paid attention to us but I noticed you both when we walked by going into the auditorium. One was tall, high and tight cut, very close cut, had a sexy stance and looked serious. Brown hair with some silver, enough to be hot. The other was shorter also with a high and tight cut, brown hair. You looked younger. The sight of both you guys beside each other got me really turned on. Looked like an older brother younger brother kind of thing. Anyway, this is just me shouting out and getting this off my mind!! Hope your department keeps putting them out there like you two, SEXY!

GWAR-B-Q in Richmond – w4m (Richmond)
This may be a long shot. But here goes…

I met you at the Double Tree. You were in town from Salem/Boston Mass for the Gwar-b-q with some buddies. You have a long beard, long hair, were wearing jeans and a black Tshirt. One of your buddies had a farmers sunburn! For whatever reason, I can still see your face and hear your accent. They eye contact was nice. Different from what I’m used to. We introduced ourselves before you headed out Friday afternoon. If you see this, which I really hope you do, tell me where we first saw each other. What part of the hotel did we meet? What ball park were you and my friend talking about??

Hope you see this…
Megan

The two beautiful girls who gave me molly at the rope swing – m4w (texas beach)

We never introduced ourselves but one of you had your septum pierced with dark hair and your friend was bleach blonde with red lipstick. Both of you were so sexy I couldn’t keep my eyes off you

Yall came down at the same time as my friend and I. We all smoked a little and tried not to make our stares too obvious. Whatever you gave me before you left has me feeling crazy good. Thanks, let me know if you wanna chill sometime.
