Summer is all about the extremes of the human condition. Sometimes you’re having amazing experiences you’ll remember all of your life. Other times, you’re just trying to keep from collapsing with heat-induced exhaustion. If you’ve had any of the latter moments this summer (and god knows we probably all have), you’ll relate to this week’s Missed Connections, where the main thing on our minds is just… we need some food!

That’s not all we’ve got this time around — we’ve also got what sure seems like both sides of a country-pop meet-cute, plus some adorably sincere nerd-girl flirtation, and a way-too-relatable story about spilling flour on yourself while trying to catch someone’s eye at the grocery store. In fact, there’s a lot of restaurant, grocery store, and even Sheetz action this time around. Missed Connections are always hungry for love, but this week, maybe they’re just hungry.

Chow down, Virginia.

Where is the food at (Chesterfield)

Where is the food

Pink haired dancing queen

We were stuck in traffic on dock street. You were going east, and I west. Your windows were down and so were mine, and you were dancing and singing in your car like no one was watching. You had a pink furry ball dangling from your mirror and were in a Prius. I would love to take you dancing. If it’s you respond to me with what color your car was.

The Annapolis sweetheart at the Brett young concert (Glen allen)

To the sweet and lovley woman last night at Brett young concert from Annapolis….I would love to talk to you again. Sorry I was to bashful to ask for your number. Lets chat again. 

Sisters looking for man who hit on us at Brett Young concert (Glen Allen)

At the Brett Young concert at Innsbrook on Thursday 8/8, you’re the middle-aged man who was hitting on us and offered to buy us a drink before learning that we’re 20 and 18, and we were flirting back. After we got home, we realized we should have given you a number or something since the attraction was mutual, so we’re trying this. If you happen to see this post, tell us in your reply what band’s t-shirt you were wearing so we know it’s you.

Exhale

You have to tell me with your words directly to me. I can’t read your mind. So if you really want you have to tell me. Because right now I assuming you’re just being nice to me. I can’t read romantic cues to save my life… 

Caroline red hair from cvill

Your beauty is only matched by your wit and humor. To say you are rare is an understatement, you are in a league of your own and they cannot touch you. You have a sister named k. I heard you were happy now and I wouldn’t want to disturb that but, you should know how special you are.

With love from R.

Happy Birthday (Richmond)

Today is your Birthday and I know you wont answer your phone for me to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY T&T <3

I repaired your car 

You were a very attractive black guy who seemed to flirt when you picked up your vehicle, I’d love to talk over a beer.

CAVA (Midlothian) 

You work at Cava in Midlothian. You seem chill bro and I fw the tats. I came in tn and we locked eyes a handful of times. Not sure if ur interested in dudes tho.

Missed chance at grocery store (Newport News) 

I saw you yesterday in the Asian market. I was about to go to checkout when you caught my eye. You looked incredibly beautiful with a nice smile and slightly spooky style. I walked down an aisle that you were on and pretended to look for something. You noticed me and asked If I needed help. We talked for a minute while you tried to help. Unfortunately, I was a goof and got flour all on the front of my shirt so I wrapped around the corner to wipe it off. I was hoping to pick back up our conversation but then I noticed you head to checkout.

This is a long shot but you’ve been on my mind.

short pump grocery store (short pump) 

you came into the store I work at late, just before closing. Very attractive blonde woman. Drive a white sedan. We had a chat twice and I gave you a compliment. Saw no ring, really hope you’re single.

Kroger Mech’ville Saturday (Richmond)

The last couple of times I’ve seen you, you’ve been looking at me and smiling. I don’t look nearly as old as I am so hopefully you’ll see this and still know who I am. About 5’7, blonde highlights. If u see this-u know who I am. Let’s talk.

Hancock Walmart (Midlothian) 

We both made eye contact and smiled at each other while checking out at the outdoor section of Walmart on 8/3/19 around 2:45pm. I’m sure you will never see this. You drive a white SUV.

Red headed guy at DMV (I hate the term Ginger:))

I know youll never see this, but to the red-headed guy working at DMV-my god you were so hot, and so nice. Whoever she is, shes lucky:)

Silver hair daddy (Midlothian, VA) 

I met you today. We joked about a military check up. You’re very handsome, Are you free this weekend? You should stop by.

CVS, cashier (Chester)

You were the younger girl cashier at CVS when I came through your line. You mentioned about having to hand out the card applications. I made a comment about not being able to leave until you handed them all out. You were delightful and I find myself still thinking of you. How would you like to have a lunch date sometime?

Sheetz, Brunette (Powhatan)

Around 8ish tonight i held the door for you a (brunette) female. You was gorgeous btw. You said thank you with a smile. I couldn’t stop looking at. You turned around and winked. You got in the passenger seat of a car with another lady. I wish i had of said something, but i think you’re a bit younger then me so I didn’t. If it’s you tell me what kind of car you got in.

Brunette is sheetz (King George)

St. Mary’s nurse (Richmond) 

A most handsome male nurse was at the 6th fl. station this morning as I was asking another nurse to call valet parking to have my ct.’s car brought ’round. Gosh, you ARE most handsome, but what could we say there and then? I was the guy in the pink shirt. What color was my hair? Coffee sometime? Mike

It’s summertime — time to be at the pool, time to get your car washed, time to try your luck at the Missed Connections. This week’s crop is sure to hit home if you’ve ever been ghosted without warning… and haven’t we all at one point or another?

We’ve also got some car-related Missed Connections this week, with cell phone addicts at Carpool and water signs at Pep Boys. Really, you’d think the water sign would be at the Carpool… but then, astrology’s never really lived up to the hype in my experience.

We’ve also got people beating the heat and finding summertime crushes at the pool, people who are fortunate enough to be able to afford to eat at Sushi King alone (it’s strictly a special-occasion place for me, but I sure wish I could afford to go there every day for lunch), and people meeting up at Virginia Center Commons mall. Years ago, of course… nobody goes to that mall in 2019; most of the stores aren’t even occupied.

Maybe that’s where people go when they ghost.

Smoking outside of the sandwich shop (Gayton Crossings) 

You are the woman with green hair, wearing sunglasses…. You gave me a nod as I drove by at about 5:30….. Maybe?

Pretty in Pink (Lancaster Gate Drive, Midlothian) 

You were walking your little dog today and slowed your pace as you approached. Guess you saw me nearly drop my phone. I almost laughed and you smiled. That outfit blew me away. You stunned me into a Heaven mode. Can i buy you a drink, dinner or make you dinner?

Missed D from PR USA (Midlothian)

Introduced to a beautiful woman and you disappeared. Thought there might’ve been something. We’ll never know if we don’t try. I cant reach you, but you can reach me.

Nicole (Crazyland) 

I’ve never dealt with someone so hasty. After chatting nonstop, making out, sharing LOTs in common, you just bolt after a.. week. Weak? Yeah.

One day, maybe youll stop micro-analyzing every guy you meet and get real. I don’t see that happening though. See ya at the river!

-Lame guy

Lynn Evans (Richmond)

Lynn my man I need you back. I have walked far and wide. I miss you bubby. So there’s a saying “there’s a stranger in your house ” 

Sexy Sandbridge Trans Girl (Sandbridge) 

Saw you out at Little Island Beach, up near the Back Bay Fence Sunday afternoon. Sexy blonde trans girl. Taking pics out in the surf. Tanning up on the beach. You looked incredible in, and out, of that two piece bikini. Love to see you again, on the beach, or not!

Where are you, Kimberly? (Richmond)

You once said: “I’m here but most men are full of drama………….”

Email me if still looking

Sierra at Tazza (Richmond)

You were my server Tues 7/30 night at about 6:30/ 7pm, I sat at a bar top facing away from the bar. Your name is Sierra and you are amazing and I cant stop thinking about you!

Girl in blue dress (Fredericksburg)

You were coming into the bank today. I was walking down the stairs. You had on a blue dress and an absolutely gorgeous smile!!!! Wow!!!! I really really really hope I get to see it again soon. If you happen to see this and want to set up a time to show it to me I would love that. Or at least come visit again

Cute guy Sushi King South side (South side) 

Super cute attractive guy sat Alone eating sushi next table over from me. You had tattoos light grey t-shirt and a beard. I keep looking over at you and wanted to invite you over to eat with me and my friend, regret not asking. When you left we made eye contact and smiled at each other. Love to learn more about you! Christine

Sr. Gentleman (South Stafford) 

Met U at Wawa as we were both getting coffee. U started some conversation w/ me. My gay-dar picked up that we could be a good match. We had some more conversation and I gave U a card w/ my email address. I’m still hoping to hear from U..

Capital Ale House- Main St (7/29) F for M (Richmond)

We locked eyes briefly as I walked in towards the back & went downstairs. I think it was around 645pm?

You were dressed in a white button up with a tie (blue & yellow I think) sitting in a booth across from two other guys. 

You’re really handsome & have beautiful blue eyes. 

Wish I had gotten a chance to talk to you. 

If you see this, email me & tell me what I was wearing or what I look like. 🙂 

ybm at carpool (Mechanicsville) 

You were at carpool today around 1pm. You went outside to use your phone. I watched you as you sat on the outside bench. Contact me and let’s see what’s up.

chamberlayne years ago (Henrico)

Tall dude with dreads went by the name L we met at vcc mall years ago.. I have some of your old things! Anyone can let me know of his whereabouts or info I’m sure he’d be happy! 😉

I had a dream (Patterson/henrico) 

Seems like I still miss you. When will it end. 

Pep boys

Looking for a tall dark male I met while getting my car repaired. He was a water sign and we had a great conversation. I believe he was in his 30’s and worked for Uber part time.

The Daily Restaurant (Carrytown) 

Sat next to your table… I was eating with my friend who was a girl. You were sitting with a younger boy child, and were with another girl and maybe your Mother. You were so pretty with big brown eyes and brown hair. I wanted to talk to you. Hope you see this.

Hot girl working at Deep Run Roadhouse

You were wearing eyeliner, shorts that were just right. You’re very attractive. It’d be cool to go out with you one day.

Lowe’s at Lombardy (Richmond)

Saw you at Lowe’s yesterday around lunchtime, didn’t get a chance to talk but would love to connect. You’re a nice looking guy, dark hair, well dressed, ball cap. It might be a long shot but if you see this please respond. 

7-11 on Cary St (Richmond) 

I didn’t get your name but I helped you out with gas at 4am on Saturday. You were driving a Lexus Rx. Maybe I can take you out some time. 

Tiffany in Petersburg (Petersburg)

The last time I saw you was at the motel at 95 & Reams. I was driving a Chevy Trailblazer and I used to drive a big white Ford truck. Please respond if you still around. 

Hardy wood west creek (Richmond)

Handsome white male that will be at hardywood west creek for happy hour. Maybe find a pretty woman to join me for a drink at hardywood and then a drink at my place?

Beer connection (Cville) 

I was giving a beer tasting at a local store last weekend. I served you a flight. With a wink, you indicated that beer would just be a start to slaking your thirst. I’d be interested to know just what you meant.

You: Ginger bear, but graying; tall.
Me: About your age; short haircut; horned rimmed glasses. 

Raven (Richmond Southside)

Hello. We met at the pool yesterday. You said my child swam well. I immediately was drawn to your smile and warm demeanor. I’m a single father. You seemed to be a single mother. Had a great time chatting with you and I’m very curious to learn more about you. You said your name was Raven. I def have a crush : )

Birthday month (Richmond) 

Your Birthday is right around the corner. Wish we could just talk. I miss hearing your voice. We both made mistakes. Please reach out to me…let’s go walk in the park and talk.

Your job and your family keep you in the closet 

I get that. And I don’t mind being your secret. Honestly, I want you to be my secret, too.

What I mind is that you disappeared with no explanation. Years have gone by and I still wonder if I did something wrong or if it was just all you and the pressures of your daily life. You never said. You never even said you were going to stop texting and shut down all communication. You just disappeared.

I felt a real connection to you. Even though our lives are very different, it seemed like we understood each others’ tension, loneliness, need for privacy coupled with a need for companionship and deeper connection. Not to mention the physical connection. We were just getting started on that when you evaporated.

If you had just given any kind of reason for dropping me, I could get over it, no matter how personal or hurtful or shallow that reason was. But leaving me hanging is the worst. I’ll never stop questioning, wondering what I might have done differently, whether that be to avoid putting you off or to help you be more comfortable in your own skin. Did you grow to hate me? Or did you hate yourself being with me? I’ll never fucking know, so I’ll never be able to fucking drop it. 

After a while, I got really mad at you. But then I also feel sorry for you.

I just find it hard to believe that I was alone in feeling the strong connection between us, and that you’d just walk away from that without any concern for how I might feel.

I hope you have a happy birthday, when it comes around. I’ll never not think of you then.

If you too have sometimes cast longing looks in the direction of your Uber driver, this will be a very relatable Missed Connections week for you. Because in addition to the time-honored tradition of falling in love with our restaurant servers, this week sees quite a few people getting all twitterpated about their Uber drivers… and sometimes, it seems, the feeling is mutual!

This week also brings us hot biker daddies grabbing cigs at Wawa, people who go grocery shopping in pajamas, and suburban q-tip shoppers, along with multiple dudes who wish a woman would go fishing with them. And of course, a lovely Parisian kiss (which leaves me wondering if I have any idea what that term actually means).

Go fish, Virginia.

Asado early Saturday night

I probably should have asked but you were working and I didn’t want to be that guy. 

Now I’m that guy doing this.

You made an excellent executive beverage decision.

Parisian kiss (Hofheimer Rooftop)

Hofheimer building rooftop. You asked for a Parisian kiss and I kissed your cheek. I didn’t catch your name. Why didn’t you come back? I’m in town for one more day… interested in meeting? 

uber eats driver (northside) 

you had an incredible voice. i’d love to hear it again. tell me your name or where the food was from and let’s talk again please

Uber Passenger (Richmond)

I drove you home Friday night. You were sitting in the back and asked if you could hop in the front with you. I should have asked for your number but I was trying to be professional!

John Cheesecake Factory (Short Pump Towne Center) 

You were an amazing waiter. Not sure if you like men but I was very attracted to you tonight. I knew I heard a Jersey accent. 

Sarah (Short pump) 

Hi Sarah,

You helped me out yesterday and were perfect. I think you might be just as weird as me outside of work. I found myself overly attracted to you and those brown eyes. Then you started quietly singing songs on the radio, rendering me a blubber idiot. 

If you weren’t at work I would have asked you out. Even if it bombed. It would have been worth the chance to at least get to know you.

Hopefully someone caught your eye yesterday, you see this and respond. Now that I say it out loud I realize what a long shot it is. Oh well.

B

Young AA female working at Bow Tie concession stand (RVA) 

Young AA girl smiled at me (middle aged white guy) buying popcorn and drink. You asked how I was doing and I said I was good because I was skipping work. Were you just being polite or was there more to your smile? I thought we made eye contact a few times. If you’re interested, maybe we could meet and I could buy you lunch or something else. 

Starbucks Downtown No Straw (Downtown. Broad St.) 

Thank you for a brief interaction that made my day better. 

Hot Biker Daddy at Wawa Saturday evening (Staples Mill & Parham Rds)

You held the door for me and my imagination has been running wild ever since.

You were wearing a Metallica shirt, bandana, and heavily tattooed. You stopped in for coffee and a cigarette…wish I would have joined you. 

McDonalds’s BRSC (Charlottesville) 

You were working behind the counter as a cashier, Thursday morning at the BRSC McDonald’s. You had your long black hair in a ponytail, if you see this and are available lets chat. I have something very interesting to discuss with you.

Have a great day .. .. .. .. ..

Fishing Lady (Chesapeake Bay and Beyond)

Im looking for a good looking lady to spend some time on the boat fishing with me. 

Boat girl (Vb) 

You used to come see me and we would take the boat out and have some fun, lots of fun! Miss those times and wld like to do again soon while it’s still summertime. We would go out of va beach marina. Let me know some details or where boat was. 

Kroger (Willow Lawn) 

You are tall and pretty, I think a red head… I had on my pajama paints… saw you first when I was grabbing bananas, then we smiled at each other as we walked by each other, but I missed out on talking with you. 

Your eyes melt my heart (Charlottesville area) 

You’re eyes are killer light. You’re a very very attractive man in your 30s and you are married as am I. I know this is a long shot but well worth the attempt. 

I have no idea if you are in the slightest interested…. 

I called you sir and you didn’t like that but you winked at being called sweetie.

Also at bar in Scott’s Addition (Scott’s Addition) 

You were tan tall younger at the bar with an older fellow. Good eye contact. I was with coworkers. If interested reply with name of restaurant and my discription.

P F Changs (Richmond) 

Was dining Sunday night. You have dark hair, fresh cut w/ a side part, white and about 5′ 8″. Nice dark beard. Caught me looking at you as you waited tables nearby. You’ve waited on us before. Would like to meet for discreet connection. 

Pink shirt in Petsmart

We actually noticed each other in the parking lot first, then smiled at each other inside the store. You were with a couple people, and had on a pink Myrtle Beach tshirt and blue pants. 

You definitely had a pretty smile and caught my attention. If you happen so see this get in touch. 

Give me some detail so I know it’s you.

Powhatan Walmart Today 5-530pm (Powhatan) 

You were in shampoo aisle with one item in your cart, dark hair, tanned, jeans, sandals (?)and green top, definitely beautiful and no ring that I saw. If you are interested, I walked past you and picked up q-tips and should have said something to you…no one ever accused me of being smart…

Congratulations to everyone who managed to survive the intense heat of the past week! If you’re still here, you’ve got a return to the massive downpours of the previous year and a half to look forward to, so uh… congratulations? Before we worry about all that, though, we can dive into this week’s Missed Connections and see what sort of intense romantic heat was generated over this apocalyptically hot weekend.

All the barefoot boys down at the beach have definitely drawn out some oddballs, but the people who come out for a bad-movie podcast might be even odder — in the very best way, of course. Shout-outs as well to the champagne snobs slumming it at the Cheesecake Factory; veuve cliquot and tiramisu is the ultimate in middlebrow bliss, am I right? That said, we’ve even got some Missed Connections for those of us living that Mickey D’s drive-thru life… whether we want to admit it or not.

Gotta say, though, some of y’all seem to think you can still reference “looking for Mary Jane” on Craigslist without anyone catching on to what you’re up to. Newsflash: the cops are everywhere on the internet — ask anyone who’s tried to book a house show in the past 15 years.

Loose lips sink ships, Virginia.

Browns Island (Richmond)

Trying to connect with the guy I briefly talked to on Brown’s Island recently. Talked about doing a bike ride or run sometime, but didn’t have a way to get your number. Felt like there was some definite interest. If you see this respond to me, maybe we can work something out.

The wolf at the grocery store 

You were an alpha among all the townie betas. A warrior after a workout.

I saw you last night but you didn’t see me. I would’ve become a puddle. omg

If no one can match you, I can. f4m

Dark Bae Badass 😉 (South side Area)

Wanna Go Skinny Dipping But Don’t know where hmmm lol the funny thing is what will it be that I run and jump on email me so that I could find out 😉

Barefoot guy$ at river (James River) 

Guy$ Walking barefoot at the river, you had very nice feet. Would like to wor$hip them. Hit me up. 

Buttercup (Colonial Heights) 

I miss you buttercup! I told all the secrets and you told all lies…can we call it even? 

Dolphins

Love and Miss you.

B…

Tattooed girl at the Lyndhurst country store (Lyndhurst)

I was there buying sodas in a uva ball cap. You were the cute tattooed blonde in the low cut tee. If you see this tell me what kind of sodas I got. I’d love to know more about you. Maybe I can come back and talk to you when you’re not busy?

Looking for Mary Jane (Carytown) 

I’m anxious without my friend Mary Jane. Hoping to find her anywhere. If you’ve seen her, please reach out. I’m in Carytown. Namaste.

Man in bright blue Jeep with no sides wearing scrubs (Henrico) 

To the man in the bright blue Jeep with no sides wearing scrubs- thank you so much for tossing my beagle a treat through the window while we were caught in 64 traffic tonight. You made our day! Wish there were more people like you! P.S. She did eat it when we got home 🙂

Girl walking dog near the Wharf/Boathouse (RVA) 

You are a stunner. Saw you look back several times and smiled. 1 a million shot you read this and get back with me, but i am definitely interested 

WaWa Weiner Dog with cute female Master (Suffolk)

On the slight chance I caught that smile correctly, the answer is yes….. yes I would love to have a nice evening of wine, maybe dinner if that gets more time with that smile.

VMFA (Richmond va) 

I know this site can be a shady place to post but i didn’t know how else i might reach you. 

You were at the VMFA today and I held the door for you as we went in and we spoke a few times. I’d like to take you out. I know I should have said something then. If this is you tell me what i was wearing and what we went to see. Or better yet what you told me about the moon. 

Note: If this isn’t you please don’t respond. I am not looking for some cheap hookup.

Lisa at HDTGM (Richmond) 

You were near where I sat and you got up to ask a question. You are glorious.

Squirrels game (RVA) 

July 19 male here….. I saw you. You saw me. We made eye contact. I thought you were hot (literally) and beautifully stunning. Get into something some time?

P F Changs (Richmond) 

Was dining Sunday night. You have dark hair, fresh cut w/ a side part, white and about 5′ 8″. Nice dark beard. Caught me looking at you as you waited tables nearby. You’ve waited on us before. Would like to meet for discreet connection.

You ordered veuve cliquot at Cheesecake Factory (Short pump mall)

You must have been on a date, but she didn’t seem very interested. I however couldn’t help but notice your impeccable taste!

Chipotle (Chester) 

I was in Chipotle the other day and I held the door for you, you were wearing red scrubs.

I think you’re very beautiful and I would love to get to know you.

Please respond to me and let me know if you need anything

McDonald’s drive through (Hopewell)

Went through the drive through at the McDonald’s next to shoneys around 1030 sunday night you were the cute older woman taking the money. You commented on my long hair, would really like to get a drink or something. Hit me up and tell me what sticker I had on my car.

Radley Chevy (Fred) 

Your name was Gena I believe. You were smoking & we said hello. I got out of my truck & we talked about your recent trip to Jamaica. I could barely concentrate, your beautiful curves had me distracted. I’d love to chat some more….what was I driving or looked like?

Uber driver (yeah maybe this is dumb haha) (Richmond)

You gave me a ride to work downtown this morning and I felt like we both kind of wanted to keep talking but obviously you had to go and there’s no non-awkward way to exchange contact info or anything. If you felt the same way, I’d love to talk some more :).

Re:uber passenger (Henrico) 

I think may have been me. Was it late, out past Parham? 

Fatigue dress beauty Tom leanords farmers market (Short pump)

I saw you twice we made eye contact. Wanted to come say high you moved fast. I’m sure if you see this you know who I am. Tell me something about myself would love to talk to you. Hope you see this. 

Old Town Last Thursday

We met in Old Town listening to DA. I was with my friend Mr. G. you were there with two friends. I was actually into you, you probably didn’t think so. Near the end of the night one of your friends was getting down I tried to cheer them up. You probably think I was interested in them, your other friend did. I doubt you’ll see this, but thought I’d give it a shot.

Mark ( lowe’s lighting dept.) (Bon air)

Have you ever bought a beautiful stranger Taco Bell to catch her attention? It seems, if this week’s Missed Connections are anything to go by, that this may be a successful strategy. I’ll tell you one thing for sure: it’s a strategy we here at RVA Magazine approve of.

A strategy we don’t so much approve of is waiting around to super-like people on Tinder. Everyone is sorta embarrassed to be on a dating site, so you gotta hit people up now, before they deactivate their profile again.

Meanwhile, posterior fixation seems to be sweeping the Commonwealth like wildfire. I can’t imagine the stripper-comparison pickup lines are getting anyone very far, though. Maybe the people seeking dudes and bros will have more success — summer is definitely the time for dudebros of all stripes.

Strike while the iron — and the weather — is hot, Virginia.

Chasing Rainbows (Henrico)

I walked by you when I came into your store last week. I walked around looking for something, found it, and checked myself out. You tried to convince one of your coworkers to talk to me, but I left before he could. Message me what store it was and your hair color. We were connected for a little while after I left, and I am curious to know what that was.

I love you!!! Thanks for paying for my food!! 💕 you just made a drunk ladys night 100 better lol i hope you’re having a fantastic night

Betty Queen Center Pool

We spoke briefly as you were doing laps. You said you scuba dive in circles. I wish we had a chance to talk more.

You shared a lane. (Henrico) 

You told me that you shared a lane at the pool today.

U of R (RVA) 

You are a stunning, dirty blonde female that came into my classroom today as I led discussion. I am a blonde male, and stood by you, making eye contact, hoping the attraction is mutual…. was it?

Pleep (Richmond)

Hey bud, time we connected!!

Your tinder said #strongerthantheboys (Richmond) 

I was waiting to super like you, and then you were gone. Let me know if this is you and I can send you my pictures and stuff.

We matched on qwikmeet (Suffolk) 

Looking for Danny from Suffolk. We matched up but I swiped the wrong way and I can’t fix it. If you see this send me the pic you have as your profile so I know its you.

Tattooed cutie at Busch Gardens (Williamsburg, VA)

Saw you waiting in the brutally long line for Lochness monster on Saturday. You had some sort of checkered flag tattoo on your neck. I’m unavailable and pretty sure you are too, but you are adorable and deserve to know. 

Publix Checkout (Colonial Heights) 

To the pretty lady in Publix checking out with maybe her husband… hopefully her brother. We locked eyes for a bit waiting to check out. I had to switch registers to get a better look at that pretty booty in those white shorts. You drove off in your matching white Toyota Runner and I’ll probably never see you you again, but wanted to let you know, I liked what I saw.

New cashier at Nuchols food Lion 

Good God I’m gonna need to see some ID for all that ass! You’re so attractive…with that body you should be working at a strip club lol. Your man is one lucky dude. He better be eating that ass like groceries.

Walmart today (Mechanicsville) 

You were setting up a display of 50 cent items near the registers today. I thought you were good looking with a nice butt! Hit me back.

Wal-Mart (Chester)

Absolutely stunning brunette in jean shorts and tank top with tat on upper arm at the Chester, Wal-Mart tonight around 9:30!! We crossed paths a few times and each time all I could think was OMG!!! You used self check out and I had my daughter with me so I was unable to say hello!! Def would love to chat.. What did my T-shirt say 😉 

Walmart Midlothian Tuesday (Midlothian)

Around 7:30 PM. I think you were with your son and he went ahead without you. I was walking out and we spoke to each other. You had on a white top and a tan skirt. “GORGEOUS” would start to describe you…..Wow!

Wegmans on Midlothian Tpk. (Midlo) 

Tonight around 8pm we were in Wegmans on the same isle….you noticed me and thought you were in my way, we spoke and laughed and then I found what I was looking for. What were you doing while browsing? Tell me so I know it’s you.

Lowes-South Pointe Saturday morning (Fredericksburg) 

A very attractive lady. We passed each other as I was going to my vehicle to pull to the front of the gardening section. I was loading my white truck with items I purchased. You were looking at flowers, picked one and then proceeded to the gardening. We both caught each other’s attention a couple of times and smiled at each other. 

This is a long shot and maybe this will pan out. You were wearing pink shorts. If “the” lady does reply, I hope the brief description of my vehicle and what you were wearing is a start. I saw the vehicle that you have and you can describe what I was wearing and loading — even the approximate time. 

Lowe’s Friday (Cville) 

You were very helpful in the hardware department today. We seemed to connect on an emotional level and the eye contact was phenomenal. Would love to get together to see just how much we have in common. We were both mature/older with similar physical profiles. 

Tarrant’s Server, Thursday (RVA Downtown) 

I was there for a business lunch. You’re beautiful, and you knew I kept checking you out. Couldn’t help it…

Elizabeth (Chesterfield) 

I keep having vivid dreams about you tonight. Making me miss you even more. Wish I could hold you.

Waiting for my coffee (Gaskins and Mayland)

You were a good looking man working at a table in the coffee shop today. I came in to get a cup of coffee. We met eyes a couple times but i tried not to look. I felt like you were checking me out but wasn’t sure. After i got my coffee i walked out. You are hot and cute. Hope you see this and know that i was flattered if you were checking me out.

Looked at each other at Milli Coffee (Charlottesville,VA) 

i WAS AT mILLI cOFFEE TOADY AND YOU CME IN FOR A MEETING ( ~ approx 3-330)

You were gorgeous in you dark jacket and slacks and white blouse ( with dots)

Captivating eyes ( behind glasses) and Yummy Red hair ( sorry for the yummy BUT !!)

I was researching and writing in my corner seat

If by chance you se this lets get coffee again…

Have a great day

Heading Out (charlottesville) 

Am leaving soon and wondered what connections I missed…
Was it you?
Will you show me your favorite places before I go?

It’s never too late to make a new friend or more… is it?

One last adventure?

Dude looking for 7/11 dude (Va beach)

This was a few weeks ago. I went in inside got some candy. You came in, looked my way and got your stuff. I went to paid and get gas. You came right behind me. Then I walked out but had to come back because the clerk gave me to much change ( I’m a honest guy) when I went to pump my gas I looked and you came out and saw you looking back. You drive a truck. Didn’t know if you was into me or into blk guys but thought I would give this a shot.

MIA Turtles and Trollbeads (Bon Air) 

It has been a long time GG, but not a day goes by where you are not missed. 

I would’ve done anything for you, if you had just shared. We had so far to go and so little time.

Salem bro’s (Pg) 

You wm rode up on bicycle We talked a little bit at store me blue truck tell me more so I know it’s you,yes people play games on here but real here hope you see this

i miss you so, so much. (woodbridge)

I know you will never read this, but i want to vent myself. I miss you like you have no idea. i miss how we feelt when we where with eachother. you were an amazing guy…honest, kind, smart, romantic. You made me feel the most beautiful woman ever, and you tried to make me feel it everyday. I loved that even though you did not have enough money, you did your best to take me on dates. I loved how you made food for me, talk, then turn off the lights, some candles on, and dance together in your room, with slow and romantic music, and then, make love. I still remember that you used to drive long distances just to meet me. You always tried to please me, even sexually….asking me “how can i improve?”. I remember you always used to tell me I was the most beautiful woman for you…and that I look like a model! I could feel you were totally in love with me, as I was with you. I am so regret to let you go. It has been around 2 years, and I still remember you everyday. I have met a couple guys, but I always end up comparing them to you. 

Last time I saw you, we met in a friendly way. As soon as I said goodbye to you…I cried like never.

Today at Aldi (Staples Mill)

I’m the guy you let cut in front of you in line today.
You – attractive, smiling brunette
Me? – you’ll tell me (and that will let me know it is you)

*also – tell me what I bought that prompted you to do likewise. 🙂 

Old man (Chesapeake) 

I miss you old man. I wish you could have seen past your pain and taken the chance to be happy. I wish you had stopped me from walking out that door. I want to stop missing you. It’s not every day you meet your missing piece.

RIC-CLT-LAS (Richmond International Airport) 

We shared a delayed flight and you invited me to follow you to your seat but I didn’t — I should have. I helped you find your connection gate, but I had a flight to catch and didn’t ask for your name and number.

Blonde at foot locker in spotsy mall (Fredericksburg) 

To the blonde lady at foot locker in the Spotsylvania mall looking at the nikes that i had a convo with, I thought you were beyond beautiful and I’d love to take you out to dinner sometime. Felt weird asking for your number because the salesman wouldn’t quit following you around. You told me you owned your own contracting company

We worked together

We worked together for a short time earlier this year, but we didn’t get to meet until you were leaving.

We met at a volunteer work event and got chatting but then you left. I was hoping we could talk some more. Please get in touch.

Best Of VA Missed Connections June 19 – June 25

|

Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

If you’re looking for love in all the wrong places, take heart — you just might find it in the Missed Connections. We’ve got a bumper crop for you, from those seeking their only true love to those who really just need a shower.

This week’s column also produced the most relatable Missed Connection I’ve seen all year — the person who thought the guy checking them out might be doing so because they’re ugly. I know the feel, friend.

But I don’t know why anyone would be looking for the stranger who offered them a ride in the middle of the night. Maybe I’ve seen too many horror movies, but if it were me, I’d just be glad I got away.

Anyway, it’s another hot week, so get your showers lined up now, Virginia, and keep on looking for love!

Super hot today .. I need a shower today (Glen Allen) 

This has been a super hot day.. I need a nice hot shower.. my shower is still not working. If you can help out that would be great. Must have a towel also. Email me ASAP!!! I’m a white male 33 

You can watch I don’t care.. lol 

Trying to Reconnect – my only True Love – KC (Cape Story)

Chic that vapes (Richmond/Chesterfield) 

Looking for a woman that vapes in the local area, just to have that in common to help get things going with a shared interest.

Cute guy at Babes last night (Carytown) 

On Friday night, I saw you dancing at Babes and we made eye contact a few times. You were wearing a baseball hat on backwards and had on a light blue button up shirt with short sleeves. I was the super sweaty guy in the floral shirt and khaki shorts who got really into Back That Azz Up yet was feeling too shy at the time to say hi. 

Now I’m hungover and regret not trying to talk or dance with you. You were real cute.

Midlo Walmart 

I’ve seen you a few times around Midlothian and Chesterfield in general. Nice truck and love the cowboy hat. You’re not too tall, but I’m short, so everyone seems tall. Dark hair, couldn’t tell eye color as I’ve never gotten close enough. If you may be that guy who has noticed a lady looking your way and you are not attached, it would be nice to talk and see if we have similar interests🙋‍♀️🤠👩‍🌾🐾🌳🌻🍉🌽🏖🏡🚜🛶

Blonde walking at Quantico 

We smiled at each other, then kept smiling at each other, then smiled even more when we both looked back and realized both of us were still looking and smiling! I was somewhat embarrassed to get caught looking back at you, but at the same time flattered that you were still looking my way as well.

You looked beautiful and I would love to hear from you. Give me some detail so I know it’s you, and let’s talk.
