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.

Taco belll

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 July 3 – July 9

RVA Staff | July 9, 2019

Topics: Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, RVA missed connections, Virginia Beach

I don’t know what it is about this summer, but a lot of people seem to have the post-Fourth Of July blues in the Missed Connections this week. Lovelorn poetry, bitter goodbyes, and solitary laments are thick on the ground in this week’s trawl through the world of Craigslist. But don’t get too sad — there’s plenty of amusing hijinks to keep your attention as well.

For example, we’ve got the guy looking for a TV commercial hottie he met on a cruise… I’d love to hear the full story behind that one. And we’ve got a guy who blew it and forgot to get the girl’s number at FW Sullivan’s — an age-old story we’ve all been part of at least once. Meanwhile, if you like cartoonish metal from Scandinavia and the Far East, someone in the Missed Connections is looking for you! Please forgive those of us who had to google to find out what you were talking about.

We always get the Dr. Seuss references, though.

Get your metal on, Virginia.

OMG Babymetal and Avatar

Could this be a show made in heaven? Who all is going?

You smell nice

Family dollar on mercury. You passed me a couple times. Your cologne made me notice you. After the leg tattoo. Pulled off in a silver truck. We looked at each other. I see you.

Not Green Eggs! Sam! (Huntington YMCA)

Dressed in black. I always notice your pleasant calm demeanor. You are truly a wonderful person. I imagine your parents can’t help but to be very proud of you.

Devo

I miss CraigsList (West End)

I miss CraigsList…the Personals section. It wasn’t perfect by any means. I miss the really nice guys I met. Anyone else feel this way?

Lost best friend (Richmond)

You were my world, you were my best friend and the love of my life. It is so hard for me to wrap my brain and heart around the fact that you are gone. No, it wasn’t because of death, but because of the choices you made. I don’t even know how to process it all. I wonder if I would feel better if I knew the real reason why or had the answers, but I know you wouldn’t ever give me the respect and closure I deserve.

Last Summer

I’ve been thinking of last summer and the time I spent with you and the fun we had. I still think about you everyday. I miss you very much and I’m sorry things didn’t work out. Sometimes I feel I made the wrong choice. I want to talk to you and give you closure but I’m sure at this point you don’t need or want it. I wish friendship was an option for us but I’d end up getting myself in trouble. Just something about you.

Hope this summer is treating you well.

Do I Love or Hate you (Chester)

My heart and head can’t decide whether I should love or hate you. You literally put me through hell emotionally. Every memory or thought I have feels tainted by deception. Everything you put me through says that you never loved me, yet I still think you will show up at my door and end this nightmare. I know this change is gonna take time, but you were my life and now I really don’t know what to do.

50’s to 60’s man at Depot (Midlothian)

I told you I liked your glasses.

I would like to buy you a beer sometime.

Young woman with double labret piercings (Short Pump)

Hi, I came into your store the other day and you helped me locate a few items. I thought you were really cute and tried to make you laugh, even succeeded on one occasion. I’m quite a bit older than you so it’s a long shot, but I thought if you were interested we could grab a drink and chat. If so, tell me the name of the store and what I bought from you.

sex and the city (scuffletown)

I feel like we met at the wrong time, I hope one day you see this

I’m looking at the moon
To try and get a glimpse of you
It really does look so beautiful
I hope you can see it too

-a

Older black man at the music store (Richmond)

I saw you at the music store today and was hoping to introduce myself. I was checking you out and I suspect you knew it. I was the older white guy in the blue shirt and white shorts. I went next door to the other music store and just missed you as you were leaving and was hoping to make an introduction. Please contact me if you think it’s you.

We hung out at FW sullivans (The Fan)

We hung out a few friday’s ago at FW sullivans, for maybe an hour. I thought we exchanged numbers, but we did not! 🙁 m4w

Down by the River M4M

We talked about bikes. If you were sending me a signal tell me what you said and I’ll tell you what you were doing.

FAST FIT TV COMMERCIAL (Hampton Roads)

To the woman on the FAST FIT commercial. We were both on a Bahama’s cruise out of Norfolk in May. We made eye contact several times and I felt a connection. Me… wm, mid-50’s, in good shape.

Would love to actually talk to you.

Trader Joe’s (Charlottesville)

So you will probably never read this and I’m kicking myself for not saying more to you, but you were my cashier today and you had the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. You’re name began with a B and I would love to get to know you more… I was wearing a gray shirt and glasses.

Saw you at Colonial Heights Publix (Colonial Heights)

I saw you there in the frozen food isle all dressed in your black dress. Then I found you near the pharmacy and i walked over there to see if you would follow and you went to the next isle….i passed in front of you.

I wanted to talk to you….you are about the sexiest thing i have seen in a long while.

I would love to get close to you.

Please say hi.

Food lion (Montpelier)

I always see you in food lion I’m in there frequently you work there you are dark skin tall female about 21-28 I don’t know your name but I always try to get your attention when your working if you see this I know it’s a long shot but maybe it will work

Girl in purple scrubs (holland rd kroger)

We were both attempting to get gas but pumps weren’t working.Your demeanor was so friendly and your wave as you drove away was so enthusiastic i thought (maybe) if you see this please email me.i’d like to talk or get coffee whatever suits you.

Girl with red cap at Lift (Richmond)

You are so cute! I love your red hat! Let’s meet for coffee sometime… at Lift?

Salem bro’s (Pg)

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

It’s another week of Missed Connections from around the state, and this time around it brings us a lesson: sometimes it’s best to come straight out and tell people who you are and what you want. Like if you’re a soccer mom who wants to buy some weed for those long late mornings when the kids are out of the house. Or if you work in a warehouse and just want to serenade that cute co-worker. And of course if you’re having cute shy encounters with ladies at the OTB. Our message to you: go get em, tiger!

We’ve also got some fun ones from people who may or may not have been in Richmond punk bands 25 years ago (Social Violence, is that you?), and photographers looking for their subjects. We’ve got optimists at Domino’s and pessimists at Starbucks. And of course we’ve got your Friday Cheers Missed Connections as always. No Wawa this week, though — their streak is finally broken.

Get those snacks, Virginia.

Soccer Mom wants to meet you at 4:20

Yes. I really am a soccer mom and I want to buy weed.

You liked Punk Rock (Henrico)

Love your dream locations and the fact you like mythical creatures… that are real of course 🙂

Hope our paths cross again someday …

Only girl ever to have a orange mohawk 20 years ago

Tina. It’s C. R.

You cycled into my photograph (Fan)

You stopped and talked with me about what I was photographing. You had red sneakers, dark pants and a sleeveless light green shirt or light jacket (I know because you’re in my photo). I wish we could talk some more…

a co worker (fredericksburg)

hey there, we work together in a warehouse setting. you have a beautiful smile. I sang a song and you said it got stuck in your head. Tell me what the song was and we can chat some more.

Lady at Rosie’s (Richmond)

You were the lady in all black, standing in front of the members benefits line about 230 pm. You smiled at me and made eye contact. I smiled back but looked at the floor, embarrassed.

I should’ve stopped and talked to you. Email me if you get this.

Home Team Grill (Nuckols and Twin Hickory)

Younger male here, just sending cheers to all the lovely people and drinking crowds, let’s keep this neighborhood bar jumping!

Who’s going today?

Wednesday at The Grill (Patterson Ave)

You were working, clearing tables, running food. Blondish hair, jean shorts. Thought you were very attractive and hated to leave. Would love to chat if you are single and interested.

Optimistic lady at Dominos (Newport News)

I’ve seen you twice now and each time you’ve made me smile.

Would you like to meet officially? I’m not even sure you’ll see this message, but I’m hoping you do 🙂

Starbucks lynnhaven (Va beach)

You were in a blue Mazda riding passenger with a friend, you had curly hair and kept looking back at me in my truck. You looked really cute what color was my truck and where was I parked. You’ll probably never see this.

You came to my brother’s work

He said you were asking if I was okay and that we used to be together. How’d you know who my brother is anyways? If by some chance you read these, tell me how else he could describe you so i know it’s you

Women with Orange shirt and overalls dress? (Friday cheers)

I just saw you an hour ago at Friday Cheers. I don’t even know why, but I want to talk to you. Not in a weird way.

You : 40 something. You have a nose ring, boots and a had your hair up with a stick.

HMU if you like conversation.

Great swimmer (VB)

girl you had some moves in the pool! describe what I was wearing and doing. I should’ve asked for a few lessons..

Walmart Delivery (Fredericksburg)

I delivered your groceries today but thought it might be inappropriate to ask if you were single and wanted to hang out. If you see this and you’re interested, let me know. If you see this and your not interested, pretend you didn’t see this so it won’t be weird if I deliver for you again. I know I’m not as fit as you are but I am working on it. You are very beautiful and of course your apt smelled amazing again!!!

Buford Road Pharmacy (Bon Air)

I’ve posted here before but I’m trying again. You work at Buford Road Pharmacy. You have dark brown/reddish hair, curly hair, usually in a ponytail, and really pretty blue eyes. I haven’t seen you in about two months. I keep looking for you. I can’t get you out of my head. I will keep trying.

At the TR concert you said my camera… (Richmond)

What a great show! You and your friend thought the guy with the cameras could get you back stage. When I told you I could not, you said the cameras made me look sexy… :). I took a couple pics of you and your friend, gave you each a card… the pics are available! Sorry I could not get you in to see the big guy, but you both made my night!

Wine Tasting (Charlottesville)

Liked our meeting at the winery. You were with a group of friends and wanted your picture taken. You held your group up because you had to apply some lipstick before the picture. I found that so sexy. You said you were from a Richmond and I mentioned my home town and you knew where it was in Maryland. I know you probably won’t read this but if you do write me back your smile inferred the attraction was mutual.

My Lady

Looking for that woman I know from school we graduated in the late 80’s. Zip 23111 Name starts with any letter. We watched Calabash Seafood being built. Contact me to talk about old times.

Grace of MCV ER-ADMISSIONS (’97-’99) (MCV HOSPITAL)

One sharp-witted, black female who worked the evening shifts as my data source for incoming ambulances cases to the Trauma-Medicine units at VCU Hospital. She was “..a true friend to the end.”

Science museum girl (Richmond)

So I was being bashful but considering the company I was with, I had no choice; you were also there with young kids and we kept running into each other. Really wish I could have stopped and talked because you are so beautiful! Just wanted you to know I was falling over myself looking at you! Hope I run into you again someday

You were my hair stylist (White oak)

You cut my hair this evening. We talked about all kinds of things from cars to jobs and other things. Should of got your number but maybe you’ll see this. If you can remember what I drove let me know so I know it’s you

Kroger Quioccasan (Henrico)

You were the sexy blonde woman walking down the chips/coffee isle this morning around noon, we locked eyes twice and smiled and I was instantly attracted to you. Let me know what I was wearing if this was you.

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

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🙋‍♀️🤠👩‍🌾🐾🌳🌻🍉🌽🏖🏡🚜🛶

It’s too hot outside to walk — we all get that. But if you took an Uber instead of hoofing it this week, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections, where it seems all the lovelorn Uber drivers of the Commonwealth have chosen to congregate this week.

But they’re not the only ones seeking their momentary crushes; some are looking for airline buddies, some are looking for fellow Wawa coffee lovers, and some are seeking tearful karaoke singers.

Some are writing the poetry of failure in the age of social media. (That’s deep, man.) Meanwhile, some just want their cars detailed by a handsome tattooed hunk. And some are still seeking that person they sat near at a Frankenstein stage play several years ago. Hey, hope springs eternal!

One thing’s for sure — the arrival of the Kings Dominion Missed Connections lets us know it is officially summer.

Ride the rollercoaster of love, Virginia.

Your uber drivers (Va)

If you take uber and you think your driver is cute or cool
You should give them a missed connection on here
They may feel the same.

Doesn’t matter the age difference
Or gender
Or race
Or marital status

Let them know on here and make them feel good

Uber Driver with Beautiful Eyes (Richmond)

I drove you home from an afternoon party with some friends. You said I had beautiful eyes. You are a general manager at a local restaurant. I thought you had beautiful eyes too. If you’d like to grab a drink and chat message me and tell me which restaurant you worked at.

Uber Deiver (Midlothian)

Uber driver here, I picked up a nice young Asian fellow last week in Midlothian and drove him home. We had a great conversation on the way and thought I felt a little chemistry but wasn’t sure and didn’t say anything. Now wish I had guess this is a long shot if you happen to see this give me a shout and lets continue the chat.

Quick Smile at Matchbox (Short Pump)

We just exchanged a quick smile, but I swear my heart skipped a little beat when we locked eyes. I turned around and so did you, but then didn’t see you for the rest of lunch. I think you were wearing a hardywood ball cap… if you’re out there, let’s grab a drink!

Happy fathers day to all single dads out there

Just wanted to wish a happy fathers day to all the single dads out there that don’t hear from their own children. Yes, I am one myself, and I know how gut wrenching that can be. I wish us all the best!

6 Bears (Stafford)

To the handsome man on Fathers Day at Bruch with a friend. We caught eyes a few times. Anyways I thought you were cute.

Where did you go? (Norfolk)

Peggy you brole my heart when you left

I bought you coffee at Wawa on Rosemont today (Rosemont Virginia Beach)

I saw you when we were both getting coffee today and you got in line behind me. You were surprised and thankful when I bought your coffee. I am kicking myself for not asking you to go sit down for coffee sometimes. If you see this and reply tell me the question you asked me that I kind of short answered. Or any other thing that would let me know it’s really you replying. I did see the color and type of vehicle you pulled off in so that would be a good verification. I doubt you’ll see this, but if you do I would be so excited!

I Hope To See You Again (Charlottesville)

The last time I saw you, you were tearing up while singing The Rose at the Shebeen. I hope whatever you were going through is easier now. I remember wanting to make you laugh but not knowing how. I know who you are and what you have done for C’ville, but I still don’t know how to say hello.

Hello.

you sold me a picnic ticket (Mary Baldwin)

You sold me a ticket to a picnic at Mary Baldwin. I think your hair was dark. You had your glasses on, and I thought you were cute. You were very busy.

Also. I think maybe we saw the National Theatre Live Frankenstein at the same time, a few years ago? Specifically in Greensboro, NC or thereabouts. I cannot for the life of me remember exactly when, or what theater (you will, because you seem like you would). But we were both there, for both nights. I didn’t know who you were, but we were both there.

I liked Jonny Lee Miller as the Monster better.

I hope I find you.

To that really cute girl in kings dominion (Richmond)

To that really cute girl I saw in Kings dominion in a group of 3 or 4 other girls, saw u in the beginning of the day behind u in line and at the end of the day on the bench near intimidator. Hope you see this 🙂

Auto Detailer and Gutter cleaner (Walmsley)

Hey man you changed your number. You used to come by and take care of the car and clean the gutters when needed. You were young, energetic, talkative and liked to have fun. You had the chest tattoo. If you see this holla back.

Spirit airlines Beauty (Richmond)

Just wanted to let you know that you are one Beautiful lady. Saw you on the trip down and on the way back as well 🙂

Aldi Colonial heights (Colonial heights)

Beautiful lady at Aldi’s today. We exchanged a few glances but I was too rushed to stop and talk. If you see this, give me a line.

Failure Celebration (Richmond)

Sometimes the small failures in life add up to be one big cluster mess. Other times they slide by only affecting one or two folks on your social circle. This is for all the times I misconnected with you.

Notifications clog my mind like a cork stopping a fine bottle of Rose.
Alerts, Text, Emails and Calendar events start and end my day.
Organization is always the end goal,
and being on the same page is what I am told.
Calendar lines of blue, red, green, purple, orange and brown
Seem like a like a Subway map to get you cross town.
Dates and times are are one click away.
The woods are calling and so I must say,
My 5 year planner will keep me up to date.
But even still you wont know my fate.
So learning our calendar and replying to invitations,
Will not only improve our joy and libations.
I can see a day where paper will go
and the colors of the rainbow will show.
you all where I am and where I am going
and maybe you’ll even know when I am mowing.
Thanks for your patience and working with me.
Remember the days of my Env 3?
We will get this together, you’re one step ahead.
I am trying you see, don’t count me as dead.
Just know its not yall, its me.
and in the next calendar year maybe we will see
A beautiful beginning with Blue Skies and me.

Best of VA Missed Connections June 5 – June 11

RVA Staff | June 11, 2019

Topics: Best of craigslist, best of missed connections, Central Virginia, Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, missed connections, richmond, Richmond missed connections, Virginia Beach

This summer is getting rolling, and things are heating up in the Missed Connections this week. Unfortunately, things don’t always go smoothly — which is why people end up here in the first place.

This week, we’ve got someone who appears to be looking for a dungeon master — in the role-playing game sense, that is. Which still sounds dirty, now that I think about it. There are also people trying to meet the girl of their American Dreams by chatting with customer service representatives about their favorite fantasy films.

Also, the plot of a 90s one-hit wonder by Geggy Tah plays out in one of our favorite missed connections this week — but chances are if you’re under 35, you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about.

Make moves, Virginia.

Tats on Cherry St. (OH)

Tattooed, handsome man walks by my house in the mornings – curious? SWM is !

We rode the elevator together (Richmond)

You had a pup and a pretty cool leg tattoo. Tell me what it was so I know it’s actually you.

Dog barked at you (Richmond)

Hi, black shirt with hat, sorry my dog barked when she was startled as you turned the corner. You seem like a dog person and I would have let you say hi to her!

Flag Stop girl with DU shirt (Parham)

Cleaning next to you and might have been caught checking you out. But, call me crazy, you were doing the same. Except with an expressionless serial killer stare. I mean. I’m into it so it’s all cool. But a little bit of a mixed msg. Anyway, I like your clean and tidy ways. Shoot me a msg if you are interested.. Even if you are a serial killer 😉

Beautiful blonde in the dark green mustang

You literally took my breath away looking like an angel with your blonde halo of hair and beautiful face. I pulled in beside you in the parking lot at Outback, watched as you got out and confidently strolled thru the restaurant, completely unaware of the other men that were eyeing your beauty. You must’ve been on a date, the gentleman with you looked so nervous. I don’t blame him. Women like you are rare here. I could kick myself for not asking you for your number. Your license plate says you’re not from VA and I highly doubt a woman of your caliber would ever look on here. But if you see this and would like to get to know each other, reply with what state you are from.

❤️warm (Hull & commonwealth centre)

You were so beautiful.

Dragon (DM) (Dinwiddie)

I wrote you a letter…. msg me if you want it.

Lowes cahsier- D (Mechanicsville)

You are incredibly beautiful and always so cheery. LOVE your eyes and would love to make your acquaintance outside of work. I am the generous type.

If you think this is for you and think you know who I am (since I always come to your register) let me know what I bought last night (Monday 6/3)

Or, provide your real name to prove you’re real

Guy at Chesterfield Mall (Midlothian)

To the dude shopping at Chesterfield Mall. I saw you in Pacsun and then H&M Men. I was a bit shorter, messy bed head look, in navy shorts and dirty white hightop converse. Anyways, something intrigued me…maybe your good looks and athletic build. I stole a couple looks but it was hard to tell if you’re bi/gay so I kept to myself. Hmu if you want, I like your style.

Virginia credit union. Hobbit.

This is a long shot. But I called Virginia credit union and We talked about the hobbit and credit. And also the American Dream. If you do see this, I think your name was Hannah, well. Idk.

Pleated Khakis (RVA)

I see you downtown, in your pleated khakis and tucked in polos. Hair trying to hang on just like your 90’s style. Got a great build and kind smile. Always a pleasure to smile back at you. Say hello sometime – never know what might happen 😉

Lady at stop light who let me cross over (Henrico)

I couldn’t merge over, and while we were at the stop light you let me come into your lane and pass you. You were in the right turn lane. We made eye contact twice and you gestured that you’d let me switch lanes and make my turn while we were at the light.

You had dark hair, wore sunglasses, and drove a car that could be described as gold or bronze or cream colored. I was the guy in the black car with the short beard. This was somewhere near Skipwith Road, but I forgot what street exactly. Just in that area.

Firstly, thank you for helping me. Secondly, You’re such a nice woman, please keep being so nice and cool.

If you want to meet up, feel free to reach out to me. If not, that’s fine, I understand.

Girl from DMV, GET TO WORK (Midlothian)

I saw you at the DMV, You were shirt with dark hair. You were supposed to be at work at taco bell but told them you were stuck in the DMV. I was pretty pissed I didn’t give you my number and I have no other way to find out who you are

McDonald’s drive thru Sat morning (Powhatan)

It is Sat morning and I can through drive thru for breakfast. Your name is Theresa (I believe, hard to see name tag) but you were super sweet and cute with a tattoo on your neck. I told you about an issue I had at drive thru and you beamed that smile and I couldn’t help but turn red and smile back. So, what was my issue I told you about that morning? What kind of car was I driving?

Really hope to hear from you.

Hull St. KFC, Sunday June 9 5:30pm, Ginger Bodybuilder (Hull Street)

You, tall male ginger bodybuilder, red shirt and tan boots/shoes, were waiting for your order. We glanced at each other a couple of times – let me know if you’d like to exchange glances again. Thanks

Lady at Lowe’s Tappahannock Parking Lot (Tappahannock)

Hello to the good looking lady that was standing in the Lowe’s parking lot in Tappahannock on Sunday afternoon. I drove by and we made eye contact twice and smiled. If you by chance see my ad please message me and let’s talk. Thanks.

woman from colanna’s shipyard at kroger (vb)

Talked to you at the entrance to Kroger at Kempsville. We spoke about DoD work and a few other things. You’re very cute. Very huggable. Wish I could have got your name or email address or something. I think you’re very pretty 🙂

Wegmans helping hands (Fredericksburg)

I see you often at Wegmans and we have exchanged hello’s in the past. You are usually smiling. You are tall with blond hair. There is something about you that intrigues me and and I am always left wondering what you are thinking behind that smile. Would love to connect.

Tractor supply show (Pantops)

Damnnnn

That was too good to be true.

Anyone else see her or know how to get in touch? Hottest thing I ever saw in public

Power … (Richmond, VA)

of voice … it never fails to make me smile.

Gorgeous woman in full piece white bathing suit (Wyndham)

I saw you two times today close 5 PM walking with a girlfriend from the pool to your apartment. I was in a car waiting for you to pass so I could check you out ( just being honest) as gorgeous as you were always hard to resist and about 10 minutes later saw you walking back to the pool. We both live in the same complex and thought we could get to know each other
