Best of VA Missed Connections October 9 – October 15

Topics: , , , , , , ,

Did you do well with pop quizzes back when you were in middle school? If so, you might just score a passing grade on this week’s Missed Connections! You’re going to need to remember what color shirt she was wearing, what car he was driving, and what hand they ate with, but fortunately that last one’s easy — if someone’s even mentioning it, it’s always going to be the left hand.

This week also brings us tales of high school bullies plagued by regret later in life, rural lesbians looking for love (I’ve been there, sister), and a tale of what might have been road rage at a Hopewell Burger King. After a week off, we’ve also got the return of our favorite gas station/meat market, Wawa. And as usual, some third-rate dodgy online-hookup site gets dropped in at least one post. I’m always convinced those are stealth advertising, but maybe I’m overthinking it.

One word to the wise before we go this week: you won’t have to post a Missed Connection for someone whose car was broken down if you stop and try to help them. If you didn’t follow up on those locked-eyes moments by busting out your toolbox, pal, you blew it.

Get the jumper cables, Virginia.

looking for a gloryhole in henrico county. you must host. anon only. do not message me if you don’t have a GH.

Camo sweater (Brown’s Island)

I was walking from Oregon Hill with the goal of getting to the pipeline.

I wanted to ask for your name, you were quite a cutie. I hope you enjoyed your night

I want so say i’m sorry for picking on you in high school. (HHS)

I cant believe im doing this. But we had a few classes together and you never knew it but I really liked you and I didn’t know how to deal with that emotion so I would pick on you. And now I regret it. I’ve tried reaching out to you. but no response. I’d really like to meet up and catch up and see how you’re doing. I was a WM you were BF.

To the red head I work with

You’re awesome. I love seeing you walk through the door every day. I wish I was in a position to tell you how I feel but I probably never will be. Also I dont have any friends here to vent too so I might as well let it out to the entire internet. You’re cute, funny, and always know how to pull a smile out of me even when things are going so great. Your the kind of person I wish I was with. I think we would be great together. Ah well….

Bonefish Grill – Red Motorcycle – Friday 9/20 (Charlottesville)

You paid for my lunch on Friday 9/20 and I didn’t get a chance to say thank you. We sat at the bar next to each other but I’m super shy. Wish I had spoken to you. Let me know if you are right or left handed and what I ordered, so i know it’s you.

Your first name starts with an E. You like my outfit and asked me if I was a manager where I work. I told you, “almost”. Your dad was a singer. I found you attractive and I felt like you wanted more and you didn’t say. If you’d like to exchange numbers message me. You are very cute and I hope we cross paths again. Or come see me! You know where I work.

There’s a chill in the air this week, but if you need to warm up, things are always hot and heavy in the Missed Connections. We’ve got some pretty zany highlights this time around, but the wackiest of them all might be the couple who wants to test drive a sleeper-cab semi truck by getting down to business in the bunk. Either lot lizards have to get really creative to advertise these days, or that truck is never moving another inch once these two park it behind their house.

If you’re hunting for cheese or salt n’ pepper in the aisles of your favorite grocery store, someone might just be looking for you this week. Of course, there’s always interest in purple-haired rockabilly girls — even if they do smoke (bleh), but the desire to steal the innocence of a lady who’s pretty in pink is one we haven’t heard since the days of Molly Ringwald.

Finally, this week brings us the answer to a question we’ve never thought to ask: What if that Bouncing Souls song “I Like Your Mom” was actually being sung to a black lab? Does that make it more or less weird?

These are the quotes from our favorite 80s movies, Virginia.

Mixed Homeless Heath Ledger (Rite Aid on Broad)

If you followed me home I would keep you.

Delightful conversation (VB)

Ms. Emily, just a note of thanks for the very pleasant and delightful conversation we had over a very “interesting” subject. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an enjoyable interlude in my daily teaching routine.

Your charm, poise and outgoing personality mark you as a lady, and I mean that in every construct of the word, who will go far in life and who will bring warmth and happiness to all whom you meet along the way.

My best to you always.

Kroger Willow Lawn, salt-n-peppa (West End)

Slim with close-cropped salt & pepper hair, 4 p.m., you kept looking to see if I was still smiling at you ; ) What color was my hair? Gosh you’re handsome. Coffee? M 4 M.

Everytime you hear Britney Spears you think of me…

Dear JMG

I feel ridiculous writing this, and I’m sure you will never see it. I loved you when I was 16, and I loved you again when I was 24. You came home and I guess I wasn’t what you wanted. Since then we both got married, we both had babies. I’m now divorced and I assume you’re still happy and married. And I truly hope you are. I just want you to know I miss you and your friendship. You are an amazing man and I pray one day when life moves on wed be able to speak again. You cross my mind very often. And every time I pass a blue blazer I smile. I always have missed you, and always will.

<3MD

Purple hair rt3 (Mathews)

You were driving a blue car, smoking a cig. wearing a bandana in your purple hair. Wasn’t sure if you were going for a rockabilly vibe but it seemed like it and I need more people in my life with similar interests.

Couple wants to checkout your sleep cab (Dublin Hotel)

Hey, so we are still here at our hotel. Last night flopped, so me and my gf still want to check out a sleeper cab before we buy one. Any truckers staying close to Walmart in Dublin? Maybe at the truck stop across the street? Will need to try different positions to make sure it fits all her needs. Hit us up with a pic of the stick shift and I may send her to get a feel for the gears. Of course I’ll send a pic or two so you can see her coming. She’ll let you know what she likes about the sleeper cab so show her everything. Ready NOW.

P.S. We’ll consider going over the details in our hotel room, if all else fails and you’re not an asshole. Thanks in advance

A Passing Moment (Winchester)

You had a high heel mishap while entering the country store saturday evening. We had a passing moment outside as you recovered from your stumble. Wanted to chat but circumstances were not favorable. If you reply, tell me the type and color vehicle you were driving.

Gallery 5 Greg (Richmond)

We talked a bit, you complimented me and very gently took and kissed my hand. I was preoccupied looking for my friend, but wanted to talk more, shall we?

Where can my Baby be? (Bon Air)

Where can my GG be? We just drifted apart, but I’d give anything to reconnect with my turtle fan. It was my fault. Would really love to catch up. My kingdom for a chance.

Gorgeous brunette

Fueling your truck at wawa. Tight jeans and a pink and black shirt. Your smile makes you even prettier. I’d like to see you again. Interested in a date? Tell me your truck tag

In search of help. (Lynchburg)

Older guy seeking woman 55+ for help with a project I have in the works.
Details on request.

Missed you in the cheese section today.

Food Lion Westover Dr today. The dairy section by the cheese. I said to you that I hope you don’t think I’m following you. You had on pretty much all black with a black tshirt that said “Comcast Cares”. Blond hair and a very nice body. Probably a shot in the dark but you never know.

Blonde with old black lab roseneath (Scott’s adittion)

You are the finest thing I have ever seen. I’m always driving by while your out there with your well behaved very old black lab would love to chat. I’ll be his new dad

Hand on hip (RM)

I loved the way you stand with your hand on your hip. Remember I called it sassy. Hit me up lady if you think this is you!

You are all I think of. (Carney’s Point)

I miss my husband and my baby girl. I am lost and desperately want to know if they are okay. Our anniversary is coming up and I want to be with you. If anyone knows Wayne please tell him his wife loves him.

Petite in pink in NFCU Providence rd (Kempsville)

You were in line Wednesday at the navy federal credit union on Providence Road. You were in line Wednesday at the navy federal credit union on Providence Road. You were petite, brunette, cute as hell and wearing a pink workout top and stretch pants. As I walked out I had my hands full and said hi, you smiled and said hi as if to say you want me to steal your innocence. I do too

The ‘fix me’ pixie (Va Beach)

I closed my social media where we used to talk but I’m sure you’ll find this too. Shoot me a reply so we can set something different up.

M4W Hillwell and Hanbury stoplight smiles (Chesapeake)

This is the longest shot ever, because I bet a woman of your caliber is taken, but I have to try. I was taking a left onto Hanbury and you were going straight on Hillwell around 3:45-3:55pm. We looked at each other and you smiled and started playing with your hair. I swear you were showing me you didn’t have a wedding or engagement ring by the way you did it. You were wearing a ring that looked like a flower or something colorful. If you stumble upon this please reply! Let me know what you were driving so I know it’s you. I remember the color, make, and model.

Joker movie afterwards talk AMC 18 (Virginia beach)

We sat next to each other and talked some after the movie getting out after midnight. You said DC couldn’t be as cool as Marvel for the after credits. Message me and let’s reconnect to see what we could be missing

You mouthed H E L L O (Crab Shack)

You (attractive caucasian female, with braids and blue eyes) walked by our table a number of times, and must have recognized me checking you out. Just prior to leaving, you walked by the table, turned your head towards me, and silently mouthed, what I believe to be H E L L O. It was a pleasantry, that I wish, could be more, such as your whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

The month that ends with Halloween begins today, and that’s a cause for celebration for a lot of people, which might explain why we’re suddenly getting Missed Connections from the Poe Museum and the Psychedelic Furs show. Let’s do some raven-style partying with a bumper crop of Missed Connections, shall we?

We shall, and we shall also learn that The Locker Room continues to keep its reputation as Richmond’s foremost dive bar intact, even here in the MCs. That being said, are tattooed hands really that rare anymore? Seems like even office workers have “LOVE” and “HATE” on their knuckles in Old English script these days.

This week we also learn that outdoor showers are big news in places that aren’t right by the ocean, and kilts on the dancefloor might be a sign of incipient nuttiness (pun definitely intended).

Finally, this week, the Missed Connections start off with a pretty important question, so let’s just get this out there right now: a person once responded to a Missed Connection I’d posted for them. It didn’t work out at all, but I’m married to someone cooler now, so I’ve got nothing to cry about. Point is: it’s worth a shot!

Post away, Virginia.

does anyone ever

does anyone ever reply to a missed connection

Hand tattoos at the locker room (Southside)

You were standing next to me at the bar on karaoke night. Your hands were covered in tats and you had rings on, so I couldn’t help but stare. I wanted to say “has anyone ever told you you look like Charles Manson?” but I was too nervous. I knew you noticed me staring and I didn’t think you would address it, but you did. You bought two Coors bottles and payed in cash. You had a lot of cash. Reply with what you said to me and your distinguishing style of facial hair so I know it’s you. I need to see those hands again.

Walgreens Carytown One Ring leg tattoo (carytown)

I was in walgreens on Sunday and you were in front of me in line. I love your lotr tattoo and wanted you to know that you are the sexiest girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. Your one ring can rule over me anytime 😉

Outdoor shower Oregon Hill

Anybody know the dude in Oregon Hill with the outdoor shower? Want an intro – M4M.

You distracted me in Target (Stafford)

We were in Stafford Target, I was pushing a cart but looking at you and ran the cart into a display. You looked at me and I said, “that was your fault for distracting me.” You blushed a little and laughed, and we went our separate ways, but I’m disappointed in myself for not asking for your info. If you regret not asking for mine, too, email me.

Tell me what was on the display I hit, so I know it’s you.

Hope I get a chance to be distracted by you again.

Red dress at the Poe Museum (Shockoe Bottom)

We chatted for a bit then you and your friend went for another drink. I got caught up in another conversation, but wanted to be talking to you. Let me know what you remember and let’s pick it up where we left off!

Carson-you were funny as hell tonight.

I don’t wanna say anymore for your privacy, but if you see this, hit me up. I doubt you will, but what the hell.

We met at the Psychedelic Furs (Richmond Va)

You’re the pretty blonde who kept bumping into me. I’m the guy who wishes he had slipped you his number.

Let’s meet for drinks soon…

Lowe’s (Mechanicsville)

The cashier in the garden department was very friendly and helpful. I would like to get to know you better. I didn’t post your name because it can be embarrassing. I’ll let you know when you contact me.

Walmart Hull Street GMC Truck (Midlothian)

Saw you sitting in your GMC truck around 3pm today. You must have been on your phone with your feet hanging out the door window. Hit me up if this is you,

Your name starts with M, mine T (West end)

I asked your name today, tho we have seen each other many times before. If you are unattached, as I am, I’d like to take you to dinner. Interested? Please reply.

Wow! Stunning Tall Redhead (Glen Allen)

You were in line behind me at Wawa tonight 9/28 around 8pm. Just as I checked out I turned to chat with you and you doubled back for a sub. I know you saw me checking you out, but I couldn’t wait for you to come out. Tell me what I was wearing or what I bought if you see this.

Kilted boy at Barcode (Nuttsville)

You need professional help

cute short dude thrift store shopping (goodwill)

I ran in to you a couple times today at various thrift stores. Love your Hari Mari’s. Tell me what you were wearing so I know it’s you.

Bonefish Grill – Red Motorcycle – Friday 9/20 (Charlottesville)

You paid for my lunch on Friday 9/20 and I didn’t get a chance to say thank you. We sat at the bar next to each other but I’m super shy. Wish I had spoken to you. Let me know if you are right or left handed and what I ordered, so i know it’s you.

Krogers deli area – f4m (Richmond)

We spoke in line at the deli today around noon. You had on your work uniform. If you see this tell me where you work or if you’re on qwikmeet tell me what name you go by.

Saw you this morning at business on Jen Stuart Pkwy. You work there and so am a contractor. We shared eye contact and a smile. You are dark skin and dark hair and very pretty. I would love to talk with you.

You were on your way out of Aldi near Hull Street Rd and 288 and I said “hi.”

You stopped to chat with me and were so nice and we were both wearing orange shirts.

If you happen to read this msg, would love to continue our conversation.

I’ll know it’s you if you mention where you work 😉

Missed Connections often brings out the weirdest qualities of humanity, but every once in a while, it brings out the best. Such is the case this week, as you’ll soon see. And of course, we agree with the poster — catcalling women on the street is completely unacceptable.

Meanwhile, it seems that the action was hot in the campgrounds around the racetrack during last weekend’s NASCAR festivities, and at least a few people enjoyed the last weekend of summer by sunning themselves on the rocks down by the river. And for sure, a match between a BMW driver and someone who rides a mountain bike with an electric motor seems made in heaven. That said, anyone who’s out here grabbing attention with their car’s squeaky brakes should probably have those checked.

But I always approve of Missed Connections taking place at Waffle House. Next time you’re over there, pick me up a double order of hash browns — scattered, smothered, covered, diced, peppered, and capped. Add some hot sauce and that’s some good eating, y’all.

Take it slow and easy, Virginia.

To the poor person that got cat-called by my Lyft driver on Grace and Ryland st. (The Fan)

I could not believe my Lyft driver thought it was appropriate to cat-call you tonight. I assume he has done it before. I reported him and will follow up on that piece of trash. I think he thought because I was older adult male, that THAT behavior is acceptable. It is not.

I’m sorry you have to deal with that.

Cowboy at Field Day (Goochland)

Saw you several times throughout the day. Cowboy hat, boots…me too, but cowgirl!

Dude at Village Cafe

Dear Mr. Dude at the Village Cafe,

You were sitting at the corner bar stool tonight. I noticed you through the mirror. You looked kind of sad. Wish I could’ve grabbed you a drink before you left. Hope you’re ok.

New Life Thrift

Saw you at the NLT today while shopping. You were wearing blue jeans and a cowboy hat. Great personality and very friendly.

Bro (Museum district)

Hey, I’m a down to earth guy looking for a male friend. Preferably someone who likes to play video games, 420 friendly, open minded, looking to chill during the day mainly. I’m ftm trans, just to put that out there. (i.e. please be open-minded) I’m 30; I like adventures, hanging out, and having a good time. 

Looking for a good connection and friendship! I have friends but no one that I feel I can really confide in.

Age doesn’t matter, just looking to have fun!

Saw you at the racetrack (Richmond Raceway)

We passed each other walking by turn 2 at the track today – I bet you’re camping out here – I’m in lot F – you looked to be in your 40s or 50s and I was into your style. Maybe we should meet up later around the campfire and see what we have in common.

Mechanicsville Target (23227)

You had long hair, a black t-shirt, glasses. So damn hot. I know youll never see this, but just in case…what was on the from of the t-shirt

You were a GORGEOUS European sounding blonde barbie doll. You walked by me and told me I was driving very fast on my bike. You were driving a green BMW. 530pm at sunoco at wamsley and Turner rd. You were wearing blue shorts. I was riding a blue mountain bike with an electric motor. Wearing a flannel jacket and black jeans. If you see this, shoot me an email. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not getting your number, was in a bad mood at the time but you definitely made my day, maybe I can return the favor. Fingers crossed..

Beach house Wednesday (Beach house Wednesday)

I bought you a drink you introduced yourself as Sam I thought you were beautiful would love to take you out to dinner sometime

Smiled and Innsbrook near Cox Rd

We were both walking at Innsbrook around a lake near Cox Rd tonight. We walked past each other twice and smiled both times. I noticed you looking back to see if I was looking. I’m the dark haired guy with the dark blue shirt with white stripes and you are the beautiful female wearing jeans with a smile I’d like to see more of.

Longhorn steakhouse TO GO m4f (Glen Allen)

We shared a conversation about our order. You told me what I should get my kids for dinner. You’re a little bit older but I’d love to have dinner with you. Tell me what I was wearing. I ordered exactly what you ordered. I ran outside to ask you out but you left before I could do so.

World is different (Richmond)

My world is so different without you. I miss you so much! I miss riding bikes! Please reach out to me…

Graduate rooftop stunning lady (Richmond fan)

Stunning blonde lady. 930pm we shared elevator to rooftop. You were with two female friends. I should have introduced myself. We caught eyes a couple times. You were in my head the rest of the evening. Tell me you felt the same connection.

more fun going down the hill (Henrico)

Hey, we passed running up and down that brutal hill near the Raintree swim and racquet club. Do you want run together sometime? I usually go between 10-11 min per mile for four miles. I can adjust but just to give you an idea of where I’m at.

Nissan on Midlo Wed around 6ish with squeaky brakes…wonderful smile!

I turned left and pulled up next to you at Mall Drive to a traffic delay. Gray Subaru wagon was me, Nissan with squeaky brakes was you. We glanced…you smiled. Wow. We shadowed each other side by side for a couple of miles. We kept glancing and smiling. Wow. It came time for you to turn left….you beeped and waved…again that smile. Wow. How silly do I feel for not turning left? Connection or teasing an older guy? I don’t care…made my day!! Send me a note if I can buy you a drink sometime…

Couldn’t stop looking at each other (Hopewell)

You came into my work today. We both sneaked peeks. Let’s get to know each other. Tell me where we were.

U of R (Richmond)

You looked back. If you’re interested in either, hmu. If not me, I can set you up with the other.

Any Navy destroyer vets? (Richmond area)

Any US Navy destroyer vets around? I served on a Sumner class in the mid-60’s. 

Hit me up..we can chat about cruises, good times, bad times…

Gordon, I’m back. (Richmond)

We met on here years ago and when I moved away you even came to visit once. I’m back in Richmond and hoping that you see this so we can reconnect. We used to have so much fun together!

White Shorts In the bottom (Richmond)

I saw you near the Suntrust building near 12th and Main Thursday. You were wearing tight white shorts low cut. As I came to chat with you I noticed you were walking with a man wearing scrubs from VCU. You are a beautiful Asian woman tall and fit. I’m sure it’s a long shot but if you see this .. tell me who the guy was.

Caroline (Richmond)

I moved too fast and it made you leave abruptly. I don’t date much and didn’t know how to handle it. I said things I didn’t mean and I am so sorry for that. I wish we could’ve stayed friends because I thought you were an awesome person.

Lidl on Staples Mill

You are a middle aged man with grey hair grocery shopping in Lidl. I was the guy purchasing wine and we made eye contact quite a few times while I was in the store. If you remember making eye contact with another man in Lidl a few nights ago it was me. I should have introduced myself.

Bailey from dollar store/days inn (Midlothian)

We met at the dollar store last week you were staying at Days Inn. You were soo hot love to chat and meet again?-Steve

Looking for My Girly Girl (Bon Air)

It has been a spell, but I think of you often. We had our moment, but the stars were not aligned. Maybe you were spooked. Wouldn’t it be nice to catch up on D, S, I, and more? You left a lasting Kodak moment on my hard drive. You have been missed.

I don’t know about y’all, but buffets of any kind are a particular weakness of mine. I never would have associated them with Missed Connections, but this week, we’ll all learn that some people very much do. Digging in at Golden Corral is just the thing to get some people all hot and bothered, apparently. I guess I get it — the mac and cheese is really good.

But don’t let thoughts of the buffet turn you away from the rest of this week’s bumper crop of Missed Connections, which will bring you everyone from breast milk saleswomen to thirsty monks, as well as a rather harrowing glimpse of what Pig Destroyer’s Prowler In The Yard album would look like if it were a Craigslist post. Some of y’all really need to chill out and stop being psychos; that said, all of us will derive entertainment from you in the meantime.

By the way, confidential to the grammarian: you both spelled “calluses” wrong. Don’t throw out your dictionary just yet.

Belly up to the steam table, Virginia.

Eating alone at Golden Corral

Plates were stacked high and so was the tension. Even over the pungent scent of the buffet, I could smell the mad desire in the air, like the ozone after a lightning strike. You shuffled back and forth in your orthopedic sandals, and I could see you carefully calculating your next selection before loading up a fat slab of potato salad, mixing delectably with the barbecue sauce of your soaking ribs. I could see the discomfort in your hips as you waddled back to your booth to sink in to your king’s feast all by your lonesome. I got flustered as I fished another kernel from my teeth from the corn on the cob I had downed as I watched, wanting all the more to join you as the seconds passed. I noticed you pick up a piece of bourbon street chicken, licking your already untamed lips before stuffing the juicy piece inside to join the rest. I continued to match your meal, shrimp cocktail came next; I loaded up a healthy serving of cocktail sauce and ranch mixed, licking the excess off of the side of my cup. I felt your gaze locking onto me from your derriere indented booth as you rose from your seat, growing pooch unsteadying the table, belt and buckle hanging from the loops like a wilted flower. You, my sweet peach, headed back to the troughs for another helping, gaze burning as you threatened to pull me out of my own seat like a woman possessed. I scarfed down my seventh plate like a rabid boar and licked the cocktail of sauces off of my plate before heading back up for another heaping serving. We performed a delicate tango, dancing around one another, flitting to and fro between luke-warm grub. You moved left, I moved right, closer and closer, closing the gap. Our eyes both locked onto the king crab legs and we rushed forward with the urgency of a man who thought that his laxatives were cough drops. There was an especially plump bushel of legs, and I could see that you, a man of taste, thought so too, as our hands collided. Flustered, I retracted my hand, feeling the rough calouces of your barbaric mitts (I love a hard working man who knows a trade, I’d hook you by that blue collar any day). You looked up at me, studying my face while unwilling to release your legs. A moment passed and you licked your lips… I’d love to know if you meant it for me or for your meal. Call me?

RE: Eating alone at Golden Corral (Richmond)

You are an honest-to-god poet, and I am in love with you…but you spelled “callouses” wrong. So…fuck you.

Breast milk for sale (Spotsylvania)

I have breast milk for sale. Frozen fresh in 5 oz bags and stored in a deep freezer. Make any offer…

I’ve been away 20yrs. You used to think I was going to be the One.(chesterfield)

We were young. I was shy but hid my shyness with women, and partying. Always too much of both back then. You always knew no matter what you heard that my heart was good. If you are single now or just want to reconnect hit me up. Would love to discuss life and old times over a smoke or a drink. Just say my name and how we met.

Flat Elvis at Kindred Spirit (West Creek)

You had a greenish T-shirt, wearing sunglasses, white goatee, bald head, tattoos on your arm and very sexy. You left early with 2 other guys. You sat next to me for a brief time, but we didn’t talk. If this is you, please reply.

Kenny

I miss seeing you at your job. It’s been too long. I miss our conversations. I hope you are doing well. You are often in my thoughts. XO

Did you lose a blue Thirsty Monk tee shirt?

I found it, along with a few other pieces of clothing, laying in the street near my apartment. I was going to donate them to Goodwill or something, but I figured I’d check here first to see if I could return them to their owner.

CH Sheetz (Colonial Heights)

Sheetz colonial heights. We talked by the pump for about 5 minutes. You were wearing a black T-shirt and shorts with flip flops. Dirty blonde hair sunglasses. You were driving a truck. Me. Short black hair glasses wearing pink t-shirt and shorts flip flops driving a green car. Hopefully you are single and you will see this would like to continue our conversation.

Cute redhead at sheetz this morning (Colonial heights)

I highly doubt you’ll see this, but I’ll try anyways. I was in my work van and you pulled up in your white Toyota. You parked beside me and we made eye contact when you got out. You looked at me and smiled, I smiled back and noticed how polite you were holding the door for the coke lady. When you came back out we made eye contact again, smiled and both of us blushed a little. If you see this please reply back, let me know who your favorite baseball team is so I know it’s you

Motorcycle man, auslander restaurant September 14th(Fredricksburg)

You were alone, I was with my son. We talked about my dog.

To the guy at Rosies Emporium (New Kent Va)

African American guy at Rosies Emporium in New Kent Va. You had on a white tee, dark jeans, clean cut hair,with the tattoo sleeve or sleeves 9/14 at night. We caught eyes afew times. I was looking for an available machine on the floor. I was in the same section as yourself at one point. You walked pass me,we locked eyes. I was not seated far from escalator. I had on black rimmed glasses, blues jeans, denim shirt and a white tee hair up in a bun. You are nice looking. I would have said hello but I didn’t see you again. I’m African American female.

Psychic and friend at Farmhouse

It was a pleasure meeting both you beautiful ladies. Love the tattoos! I’m interested in a reading! It was flattering you thought I was a firefighter!

Ashley Teeeee (NC/VA Border)

I was on Facebook recently and couldn’t help but peek your profile. Saw you’re in a relationship now. So am I but I find myself still thinking of you from time to time. I remember how much I wanted you and how the timing was never just right. I’m not looking to change your situation nor am I looking to change mine. But if there is anyone who would tempt me for some fun on the side it would be you. If you see this and know who it may be tell me where you were working when I first met you and what I was doing for a living back then. Perhaps the feeling is still mutual?

Walmart today (Woodlake)

I know this is a looong shot, but it’s the only one I have. We talked for quite some time blocking customers in the paper products section. We obviously connected, but was interupted by your friend. I thought you were beautiful and sexy,loved your smile.

If you happen to read this, contact me, I’d love to finish the conversation and see where it leads.

McDonald’s (Fredericksburg)

To the Tow Truck Driver that was having lunch at McDonald’s on Saturday…I just wanted to say, Thank you for making my day! I was having a rough day, and you made me smile and laugh!

Beautiful lady in brown dress at costco on Sunday (North Chesterfield)

Saw you in costco Sunday 15th around 2 Pm. You were the beautiful sexy looking lady wearing a brown dress. Would like to know you.

Savana, what happened to you last night at innsbrooke?? (Glen allen)

Savana I went looking for you and could not find you. Hope to reconnect

Woman in the flamenco dress at Gallery 5 last night (Randolph)

I cannot believe that only one guy had the balls to approach you. I was not him, obviously.

Publix at the Village (Richmond)

You came into the store at about the same time as me. You had glasses and a hot green top. We eyed one another for awhile, then you left the store without buying anything. I’d love to introduce myself properly! Let me know what you remember about me so I know it’s you.

YMCA director (Richmond)

Hey, I know u cat ch me staring at you all the time when I see u working or working out!! Would love if you are actually into guys lol..

I sat outside your house …

And I watched and reminisced. We used to talk and I’d swing by while your husband was away. But then at some point, you decided, after 5 years, to “finally be faithful.” Right … now you know I don’t believe that.

Anyway, I know it’s creepy, but I parked a few houses down and looked at your house the other day. We made a lot of memories together in that same house that you live with your husband. For a solid 10 minutes I sat and watched as her head bobbed up and down and I grunted and came in her mouth. She is much younger than you and thought she was just giving an older guy a bj. She had no idea she was sucking me off right in front of your house.

I know how much you hate white women, and this would really, really piss you off.

Best Of VA Missed Connections August 28 – September 3

Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

School’s back in here in Richmond, and if you’re riding the bus, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections this week. After all, we’ve all gotta get there somehow.

We’ve got a bunch of fun stuff in the good ol’ MCs this week, from house flippers who want to flip more than just houses to athletic hikers and flirty Food Lion shoppers. Plus a lady forklift driver, which is a rejected Prince song title if I’ve ever heard one, and a Vietnamese food fan who really just wants to check out everyone’s feet. Putting the sandals into early retirement might not be a bad idea this year.

Finally, if you’ve got some donuts your hookup partner isn’t into, the RVA Mag staff is always hungry. But you can spare us the spit.

Get sugary, Richmond.

You want me to spit in your mouth… (Fan)

But you never eat the Sugar Shack donuts I bring over when we hook up. What gives?

On the #20 Orbital Bus (Going to Cary and Shepherd)

Hi there, if you actually somehow see this I asked you for help with directions and you were very kind and helpful. I wished I would have asked you your name and told you mine but I’m a little on the shy side. If you see this message me I’d love to hear from you and talk sometime.

Jimmy….I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the conversation we had. You were so helpful. I couldn’t stop looking at you. You have an awesome personality and I was dumb struck staring at those blue eyes. I could have stayed all day. You’re very sweet and I have had you on my mind. Just had to tell you that you left a great impression.

You were with 3 of your friends. You were the girl wearing the pink shirt. I thought I overheard you saying one of your friends had ugly feet. Well, you on the other hand had some of the nicest feet and arches I have seen. I’d love to massage your beautiful feet and give you a free pedicure.

Searching for Kimberly Walker

Trying to find Kimberly Walker who was originally from Aylett. We were long distance friends back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Just drifted apart and life went on. I spoke with you about 10 years ago out of the blue and you were happily married and doing well. Heard that your husband passed last year and would like to reconnect. Your Dad worked for the railroad.
