Best of VA Missed Connections June 12 – June 18

|

Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

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.

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

It’s that time once again — time for the Missed Connections, where every week we hear from a broad swath of Virginia — the hopeful, the forlorn, and of course, the kiiiinda creepy.

This week, we learn that backyard showers are apparently not just for beach houses anymore — although if you have one, you better stay vigilant, because your neighbors might just be watching. And it seems that in a certain Carytown bar, the jello shots have been flowing like water. Also, we get an introduction to textspeak poetry, which seems like a Generation Z literary movement on the cusp of exploding into full flower.

People are meeting up in all kinds of places this week — cookie factories, urology waiting rooms, and always, always, Wawa. By the way, shout out to the guy who doesn’t ask girls out while they’re working — you’re doing it right.

Get your checkup, Virginia.

Oregon Hill backyard shower

Dude! Just moved into OH and saw you showering in your backyard. Hot! Company? SWM wants to kno.

I need someone who can give me a check up (Midlothian/ Richmond)

Looking for a female or even a male who can give me a full body check.. I don’t like going to a doctors office. So if you have any medical back ground that would be great. Email me ASAP!! Looking for this afternoon if possible

Looking for my hippie Goddess (Norfolk)

So many people who don’t seem to live in the moment and fill their lives with pursuits that only bring stress. I don’t need a big house or a fancy car, a big job title or the trivial things in life. I just need my hippie Goddess to come into my life now that I am finally ready. I’m here for you!

Let’s live our lives in the moment, enjoying the simple things and focusing on what’s truly important in life – Love.

Jello Shots (Babe’s)

We chatted while in line for the back bar. You were ahead of me and bought 10 jello shots, 5 for me and my friends. You wouldn’t let me repay you and then you were gone. I owe you a drink or 5.

Starbucks girl (Richmond)

You work for Starbucks. You’re super friendly with a geeky personality. I like your gray hat. I see you a lot. I don’t know if I’m writing this because I’m sad today or if I like you. I think you might like me.

I don’t ask girls out while they’re working. You should ask me for my number next time I come in.

Can Can Sat 06/01 (Cary St)

Can Can Sat 06/01. You on date, me solo at bar. Locked eyes many times.

Wow….I just saw you in Chic-Fil-A (Westchester Commons)

Cute girl at mission bbq (Rva)

You asked me what was good while we were standing in line, the lady behind me answered haha. I rode off on my motorcycle without getting your number. Tell me your name and what you ordered so i know it’s you.

Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Auto Show (Montpelier)

You had a sweet Ford Truck that your dad bought. You were sweet enough to make conversation with me and tell me all about it. Sorry that I didn’t make more conversation with you!

However, if you’re single, available and would like to talk more, let’s!
I’m interested in getting to know you!

Blue eyed Cutie – can’t stop thinking of you (Food Lion Montpelier)

To the cute lady wearing a skull t-shirt and white converse….your laugh and piercing blue eyes paralyzed me. You were there around 3:30 on Friday….tell me what you helped me find so I know it’s you. If this does not work I just have to hope to see you there again.

Female kidney stone patient lost in parking lot (Mechanicsville)

Wawa Yummy milkshake (N Chesterfield)

M4w Was in Wawa on Thursday afternoon getting a milkshake and you very seductively said “ yummy”. When I said I can’t wait to taste it I was more thinking that about you.

You were an older sexy woman wearing white athletic leggings. You looked damn sexy and totally had my attention the whole time I was in the store.

If this is you tell me what I was wearing and maybe I can treat you to a milkshake sometime.

Wawa (Staples mills)

To the young lady in the rainbow stripe dress. I was backing up and you were going to the car beside me.vYou are a beautiful woman even though it was just a quick glance it was enough to make me wish I’d at least said Hello. What did I look like? Or my car let know your thoughts or having a conversation

You seemed to be a manager and you treated me nicely

Pretty far up the hill and didn’t want to chase you down! You looked cute, wanted to get in touch.

Hot Deputy at Chipotle (Warrenton Rd. Rt.17)

It’s really hot this week, y’all. I’m talking about the temperatures outside, but I could also be talking about the Missed Conections. Now that we’re past Memorial Day weekend, I think we can all agree that it’s officially summer in Virginia, and you can tell from this week’s crop of anonymous internet flirtations.

For example, we’ve got a Tidewater resident hunting for a nanny who brought her kids to the beach. They’re offering a 5 star dinner as a reward just for information on this lady, so imagine how baller the actual date’s gonna be! Then there’s the woman who was barefoot at work — which may be a good way to attract attention from potential suitors, but the last I checked, it was still “no shirts, no shoes, no service.”

Some people out there are missing their college days, while others plot to run away and join the circus. And of course we’ve got a death metal fan looking for headbanging love and plenty of grocery-store flirts. Imagine the possibilities.

Beat the heat this week, Virginia.

Today at VCU

I just wanted to say that I had to walk through the VCU campus today and good God!! Wow!!

I’m an older white guy, almost 40, and wow!

One can only dream.

Would love to get a coffee sometime

You were in line behind me and we were talking about the weather.

Really didn’t know how to ask for your # but thought you were super cute! Let me know if you want to grab a beer.

Blue eyed Cutie (Food Lion Montpelier)

To the cute lady wearing a skull t-shirt and white converse….your laugh and piercing blue eyes paralyzed me. You were there around 3:30 on Friday….tell me what you helped me find so I know it’s you. If this does not work I just have to hope to see you there again.

I looked into your ignorant soul and screamed

You fuckin racist

I was at the 7-Eleven Tuesday night and you accidentally got into the wrong car you were a nice looking blonde and you got into my car I would like to know who you are.

Guy at River Rock (Downtown)

Black dress colorful jacket silver suv (Sliding hill gas station)

You were absolutely captivating when you walked up to the drink machine . I damn near dropped my cup.

You walked out just after me and as you were walking to your car I waved. Should have tried to say something but it looked like you were on your way to work, I did not want to make you late.

Contact me. I want to talk to you.

Black Kia Soul (Powhite`)

To the lady in the black Kia Soul driving toward Chesterfield on

Powhite that looked at me while passing me then again. I would like to get to know you. Tell me what kinda vehicle I was driving so I know it’s you.

Nanny, Monster truck, help me Richmonians! (Virginia Beach)

OK, people of Richmond! I met this totally hot and sweet woman (nanny) in VA Beach last weekend. She lives in Richmond. We spoke for 20 minutes and like a dufuss, I didn’t pursue (for whatever reasons… I don’t know) and I have regretted it ever since. I know she has a a fun-loving young daughter about 9 years old. Oh, oh, did I mention she has big ones and is around 42 years old. I don’t know her situation and would like to know. Help me with this. I will take you to a 5 star restaurant!

Room 221 (Henrico, Virginia)

Wish I had taken the time I had to get to know you. Going to miss those gorgeous blue eyes and southern accent. Here’s to hoping you actually see this. I was on the floor below you. If this is you, what motel were we both staying at?

CVS

Hello you came up to me talking about leaving for a circus if this is you tell me what color dress you where wearing!

Any heavy metal / death metal fans? (Virginia beach)

There are not many of us death metal fans in general, but I’m looking for a girl for friendship that happens to be into the same music as I am. Would enjoy sharing music, listening and going to metal shows together.

Some of my favorite bands are: Whitechapel, Carnifex, Suicide Silence, Chelsea Grin, Aversions Crown, Fit For an Autopsy, Job For a Cowboy, Thy Art is Murder, Lamb of God, All Shall Perish, Lorna Shore, The Black Dahlia Murder, Winds of Plague, and others.

About me- I consider myself a fairly attractive, clean cut white guy. Professional type appearance but with tattoos. (If any of that matters.)

Just looking to meet a cool girl with the same taste in music. So if any of this sounds good, reach out…..

Older guy with gray beard (Chesterfield, VA)

Hopefully you see this.

I ran into you again last night. You were the older guy with a gray beard and I lost your contact info.

You are around 5’8” and probably weigh between 210 and 240. I’m the younger guy who you said you wanted to get to know a little better. Hit me back if you read this anytime soon.

You never look at me anymore (Richmond)

I used to always feel you looking at me whenever you were nearby. Not anymore. Are you no longer interested?

Cute hardee’s girl (West hundred rd.)

Had went inside to get my order fixed. You were up at the front counter staying cool in front of a fan and man did I think you were extremely cute. I would have told you but I’m a bit on the shy side, so if you happen to read this and wanna go out for a bite or whatever hit me up. Your name starts with an S if that helps.

2 the dorky ladies who found Chernobyl intriguing and disturbing (Va beach)

So I’m a 32 year old dork looking for another dork who was super happy it was Monday yesterday so they could watch chernobyl and see what they thought about it

Target Missed Connection (Virginia Beach)

You worked at Target, your initials were JQ. It’s been a few years since I left. Never knew if you were in a relationship or not. You probably don’t work there anymore. I always thought you were really pretty, guess I should have made more conversation.

Beautiful ts woman at Target (Central Park)

We passed each other a few times today and I felt there was a connection. You looked so cute! You were white wearing all black with your hair pulled back. Tell me something about me so I know it’s you. Look forward to hearing from you. It would be amazing to spend some time together

7-11 Seven Pines (Sandston)

You came in as I was coming out of the isle. We almost collided. You said excuse me and after you passed you looked back and smiled at me. I smiled back. You were getting gas on pump 5 and had 2 prices of pepperoni pizza to go. I thought you were cute.

I hope you see this and reply.

Childrens museum for Kindergarden intro

Saw you with your son in the store area, we smiled at each other like to say hello. My daughter brought you a plate of yogurt, then you you attempted to bring her a plate of pie & milk, but she escaped us. Then we left at the same time, you had a silver journey, me a silver durango. You looked a bit down, just seemed like you would like some adult conversation, maybe more. I have more details if this isnt enough.

Box lunch employee (Towne center)

I stepped into the store about half an hour before closing to kill some time while waiting for my five guys order. You were sweeping the floor. I thought you looked incredible. Would love to get to know you.

Once around the fountain. (Newport News)

A few years ago… we met, got a coffee, and walked around the fountain.

You told me about your interest in cameras, photography, and that guy named Navin.

We hit up El Tapatio then said our goodbyes.

I got really nervous with you towards the end… maybe enough to spook you?

Well. I was in a situation at the time. That might be a better explanation.

Maybe you’d like to meet again? Part of me hopes that you’re a sort like me… looking through these and wondering if it’s about you. I think I’ve provided enough hints.

Reply with something I told you about me.

May is heating up, and once again we find ourselves with a bumper crop of Missed Connections. The indubitable star this week is a middle-aged dad who’s out there living that American Beauty life — and not in a good way. But the rest of you who are getting out there and meeting people with no connection to your immediate family… don’t get us wrong, you’re still hella entertaining too!

Like the young lady who is using the Missed Connections to try to get someone to buy her a video game. I’ve heard of using Tinder to get someone to send you a pizza, but this is a new one. Also, speaking as a book nerd myself, it’s tough not to root for anyone who flirts with girls in vintage dresses by talking about L. Frank Baum. I also can’t help but appreciate the open-mindedness of someone who is willing to make a Missed Connection for a person whose gender they weren’t sure of.

Finally, a big shoutout to the big-box home improvement stores out here trying to take Wawa’s crown as meetup spot of choice. Must be a spring thing.

Get out there, Virginia.

My daughter’s roommate

Since I know that I most likely won’t run into my missed connection on here, I thought I’d at least put it out there. It’s probably about as close as I’ll get to the real thing.

In reality, my daughter has a friend that comes over from time to time. Maybe once a month, maybe once a week. They hang out from time to time, and when she comes over, she makes little flirty jokes. When I tell my cheesy “dad” jokes, she laughs. I want to pull her aside so bad, but I know I can’t. I know that either a. I’m reading too far into her flirty behavior, or b. if she told my daughter, all hell would break loose.

So since I’ll most likely never run into my daughter’s friend in real life, why not put it out there? If you like dad types and have a similar interest, let’s chat.

Bygones (Cary Town)

I saw you for the first time behind the counter today when I came in. You had a maroon 40’s style dress on, and we were talking about L. Frank Baum and old books and movies. If you see this and remember and maybe want to go out sometime I’d love to take you out. Couldn’t get you out of my head the rest of the day…

The guy who complimented my toes (Wawa brook rd)

We were in the line at Wawa and you told me you like my sandals and polish. You were cute, let’s hangout and I’ll let you rub them. Mention what color my polish was so I know it’s you and tell me a little about yourself.

See you on Grove Ave. in the Fan

I see you on Grove Ave. between Blvd. and Meadow-ish (idk the streets exactly, it’s in the Fan) around 10:30a most mornings. You must work at a daycare center because you are always pushing a car-cart with a bunch of cute preschoolers. You’re tall, tan, and absolutely gorgeous.

You never look at me, I’m always riding my bike. I first noticed the kids, I love kids. But one day I noticed you. If you see this, look for a guy wearing spandex haha. I hope we can connect one day.

I see you all over the place in Hanover (Hanover)

I see you out from time to time at places like the grocery store, the home improvement store, gas station all right near my house in Hanover so I guess maybe we must live close to each other. You’re somewhere in your mid-50s, incredibly handsome, beefy/stocky build and always well dressed and well put together. I’ve always admired you from afar as I am shy as it is and you’re handsome look intimidate me although I am considered attractive as well. I’m sure you wouldn’t ever be on here looking at these ads but I feel like I should put this out here in case you’ve also noticed we keep crossing paths.

TRAVIS (FOOD LION) (1100 COURT HOUSE RD)

TRAVIS,

YOU CASHED ME OUT TODAY ABOUT 340 PM IN LANE ONE, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE TALKED, I HAVE TO SAY I THINK YOUR CUTE AS HELL!!!

TOM T. ( DRIVER MARCO’S ) (MIDLOTHIAN)

TOM,

YOU DELIVERED MY PIZZA, WINGS AND SODA LAST NIGHT, YOU MADE A COMMENT ABOUT MY DOG THAT I THOUGHT WAS NICE, YOU SEEM REALLY COOL AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD LOOKING GUY, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK HIT ME UP

Cute Guy at Stony Point (Richmond, VA)

Met the cutest guy today near Stony Point while I was out shopping solo. Had the cutest smile and was so nice. Not sure what cologne he was wearing but when he walked up behind me that was the first thing I noticed. We talked about Richmond, where he went to school while waiting for our coffee. They got my order wrong and he suggested something else and it was good. He then commented on my smile and I swear, I almost died. I wish I would have been brave enough to ask him for his number but I was so scared (cause I’ve never approached white men in my life :(). And I rarely know any white guys that are into black women – well, at least not the type I am attracted to like him – kinda WASPy, preppy, but down to earth. I know he mentioned he worked downtown. Had so many thoughts running through my head as I got on the Amtrak back to D.C. Damn. Hope I cross paths with him again. Ugh. Gorgeous.

Upset gamer chic 🙁 (Carrollton)

I am a gamer chic and I want to get the new Zelda for Nintendo switch. My m0m will not get it for me and I am not waiting any longer. U must be cool and nice. I am in the Carrollton area. Hit me up 🙂

Beautiful girl hiking up humpback rock, I was hopping down the rocks (Humpback Rock Trail)

You were a beautiful darker girl hiking up humpback rock trail with a friend, I was hiking down, but more like hopping down from rock to rock. You stopped and watched me pass with a big smile on your face. I wanted to stop and say hi, but my momentum kept me going downhill.

If you’d be interested, we could meet up for lunch sometime or go on a hike somewhere with friends?

Walmart short pump

You were in a blue mini in the back seat with a couple friends, I was parked next to you in an SUV. I should have said something to you. What did you do that made me smirk?

Dahlgren Walmart (Dahlgren)

It was about 1:30pm this past Wednesday when you passed by me. Tall blond in a skirt a d not sure if you were a female or male. I am very interested.

Lowe’s Broad St

You were sitting in the car next to me and noticed I was struggling to push my car in Lowe’s parking lot. You offered to help. You pushed my car and explained to how to jump it. It worked! You were wearing an orange shirt. Let me get you a drink to thank you.

Lowe’s Mechanicsville (Rt 360)

You were helping load plants and mulch. Bulging muscles and nice hair. A hot black man. I would be interested in getting to know you better.

Lowes returns (Short pump)

We just chatted in line would love to buy you a drink 🙂

Home Depot Lady (West Broad)

You helped me get what I was looking for . You are smart and cute and know your way around

let me buy you a cold one and show you how much I liked what I saw.HMU and tell me what you helped me find so I’ll know it’s you. SO CUTE

low key Reg. guy exchange at Home Depot (Car Mia Way)

We pretty much had a bromance right there on aisle 7 lol. You like my sneakers (lime green soccer shoes) and we got in a conversation about running/working out at the Planet fitness on Robious & both purchasing fixer uppers and doing some of the work ourselves but not trying to spend all summer doing it. You walked over and we both grabbed a push mower too.

You seemed like you were trying to find out how to take it further but man I was just in the “I aint trying to vibe with no dude” head space. I should have just holler’d at you man. I don’t really have any other outlet to run across dudes I may be interested in. Just not interested in dudes whose sexuality sexuality is a thing. Just too much for me. Too, not too many seem to be interested in vibing and building. I am.

Thought I may run across you at the gym but haven’t. If you see this shoot me a message bruh. Lets grab some sushi at the spot we mentioned or meet up at the park for a workout! I keep my rope and weight in the car lol.

Attractive Blonde at the Boathouse (Midlothian)

You took a picture of me and my Marine buddy out on the deck of the Boathouse. I joked you had a gift for photography. I wish I could have chatted with you some more.

Y in Chester- We Locked Eyes For A Moment (Chester)

We were both at the Y from nine forty five until appx. ten forty five on Tues, April 30th. You had your daughter with you and I had my baby with me…we both dropped our kids off in the childcare center. We kept crossing each others paths ( even parked close to eachother ) and had a moment where we were crossing paths in the hallway and locked eyes. If it’s you, tell me the kind of car you were driving.

If my brain could slap my heart

interesting you want someone to show you love, but all you do is push people away.

Christina I miss… (Richmond)

Just talking to you, our great conversation. Your big boobs hanging out.

I just miss you. Let’s get back together.

J

Older man with wife at the park (Richmond)

I was sitting in my truck just enjoying myself. You and your wife were there for a walk. Im pretty sure you knew what I was doing. Is that why you lingered so long before going on your walk? I did enjoy the view and I did finish just so you know. Wanna get yours?

Tits out (Pump house park)

I miss seeing that woman at the park who wore the low cut top, your tits would fall out and you did not care. Just kept walking like it were nothing.

Best of VA Missed Connections May 8 – May 14

|

Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Here we go with another spring edition of Missed Connections, in which we can plainly see that when the winter clothes went back into the closet, the tattoos went out on display once again. Based on this week’s crop it seems like almost everyone in Richmond has tattoos… but then again, if you’ve lived here for more than a week, you already knew that.

We’ve got a lot more for you besides tattoos this week, though. Wawa continues to be the champion meet-up spot — seriously, not a week goes by without a Wawa Missed Connection. But this month, we’ve also got a bunch of Walmart shoppers up in here; guess people are pinching their pennies so they can afford summer vacations.

Honorable mention must go to the person out there who’s trying to hit on a first responder who arrived on the scene when they wrecked their car. We support it! Just don’t think you’re gonna slide references to strippers past us by referring to the street their workplace is located on. We’ve got google over here, y’all. We see you.

Finally, a shout out to the Barbers Of Cville ultimate frisbee team — the RVA Mag staff wants you all to know that we too can appreciate some opera puns.

Keep ’em coming, Virginia.

Babes (Babes)

You were wearing a Bird of Paradise shirt (old navy little boy section you said) and I showed you my tattoo that matched. Long shot but you were adorable and I’d like to get to know you.

The connections I miss (Chesterfield)

I miss the days when I could skim through CL and find ladies looking to make new friends.

Pretty lady with chest tattoo (Walmart on Hull near 288)

I was walking into the garden section of Walmart yesterday and you were looking at plants (I think). You were very pretty and had a tattoo showing from your shirt on your chest. I just wanted to tell you that you are a hottie and you made me smile when you said hi.

The gorgeous blonde in the yellow Pathfinder (Richmond 95 South)

I was the guy doing wheelies for you and your friends a few weeks ago. I like your smile and reaction. Come riding with me sometime and we’ll grab dinner.

Lidl Market on Sunday (23228)

You were at the Staples Mill Lidl Market on Sunday, about 11am. We were both shopping the same aisle, but I didnt notice you until you walked away. You’re a good-looking guy with dark hair and tats. I hope to see you there again.

Christine dfw-ric yesterday (Richmond Airport)

You made me feel special yesterday. The few minutes with you made my day, and I was sad when it came to part ways—thank you lovely aviation underwriting lady!

Coxcomb red…

I still love you…even if your eyes are viper black…😏

Bdubs mechicsville (Mechanicsville)

Meredith, you were my server a buffalo wild wings tonight. I’m not going to hit on a woman at work but wanted you to know you’re gorgeous. You’ll probably never see this but I had to put it out into the universe.

Walgreens Plank Rd (Fredericksburg)

You probably won’t see this, but we had a brief conversation in the card isle when you needed help picking out a mother’s day card. You were a shorter girl, but I thought you were kinda cute and hoped to at least get your name!

You work on labrooke concorse (Richmond, VA)

You’re beautiful and I was so drawn to you. You probably get this a lot but I really felt something. If it’s you tell me what I was wearing.

We met somewhere around Fburg (Fredericksburg)

You were a beautiful woman over 35 with a stunning smile and we had a wonderful conversation about giving up dating men and only dating women. I’m the buxom woman with long, red hair. I’d love to take this lovely woman out….find me?

Handsome older wm cashier at Walmart on shiela ln (Richmond Virginia)

Hey i was in Walmart on shiela lane lastnight i had to return something and you were my cashier. You were a older gentleman maybe upper 40s 😊 bald wm. With a beard. As was i. But im 24…I thought you were kind of sweet and cute. I was wondering if youd like to meet up or something lol. I wanted to like say something but there was someone in line behind me. If you remember me tell me what i was returning or if you remember the tattoo I have .

You responded to my accident (Hazel run bridge)

You were the officer that responded to my accident. Not sure you will see this. I hope you do. You are a very handsome man. Would like to chat.

Staples Mill WAWA

You bought my Gatorade…. should’ve asked for your number

Beach with friends

Met you and your friends this morning while I was walking my dog I regret not talking to you more. Let me if you want to talk more. What was my dogs name?

Wicked J (Chester/Hopewell)

You are a ginger and was wearing a red shirt today. Your license plate says Wicked J. You are absolutely beautiful. Would like to get to know more about you

You brought music back into my life (newport news)

When I was down, you were there. I didn’t think I would feel comfortable enough to tell anyone about my life and demons. You sent me music to share yourself, you are my angel. Thank you for everything, I hope to see you again, “If it’s meant to be it will be”

Wegmans

We chatted about Beyond meat. You were wearing a Barbers of Cville jersey. You made a comment about the opera puns your team makes and I’d like to hear more.

I was too nervous to ask for your number in the middle of Wegmans but if you see this and you’re interested, message me.

Girl at iration (Norva)

You started to talk to me about my shirt. We hit it off instantly because we both were into jam bands. We talked about your upcoming shows. Hopefully I will see you at bristow. But honestly it would be nice to see you again before that day. Wondering if your single? Reply with what was on my shirt.
