Best Of VA Missed Connections November 27 – December 3

|

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

This week’s Missed Connections is all about the river hangs — and I gotta tell y’all, it seems like a bit late to me. I know this is a southern city, and it stays warm pretty deep into the fall, but nonetheless, post-Thanksgiving seems a bit late for a barefoot day at the river. And yet here we are — not only is some guy running around with no shoes at the James in the final days of November, but someone else is getting ready to full-on canonize the guy… or at least his feet. Stay weird, Richmond.

That’s not all we’ve got for you this week — no no, not by a long shot! Too often when someone in MCs is talking about “trees” you know they’re just trying to score some weed, but this week we’ve got a couple of actual plant nerds fluent in Latin species classification names making a connection at the greenhouse. How can you not love that? Meanwhile, usually when someone talks about a dream cashier, you figure that means they were the cashier of their dreams. But hey, plot twist — all it really means is that they talked about dreams with their cashier. Are we really speaking the same language out here?

Meanwhile, we’ve got proof that Richmond really does appreciate all kinds of people — at least one person this week is trying to track down a panhandler they met. And not just to buy them coffee, either, though it does seem the ideal way to a gas station spanger’s heart.

Finally, there’s not much more depressing in this world than having to take a Lyft to the urgent-care spot… so I guess the real question is: does getting a Missed Connection from your driver make it better or worse?

Get that checked out, Virginia.

Barefoot guy at the river

Would like to wor$hip your feet.

You said my goatee was on point (Richmond)

You are a sexy little blond at the apartments at Hull St Rd and 6th St and you had a friend with you. I could tell you wanted to play with my beard and i would love to let you. Hit me up and tell me your girlfriends name so i know it’s you.

Thinking about that Christian guy

I used to know this guy who was struggling with his feelings for other guys. He had issues with his faith vs his feelings. I was kind of in the same boat. I wonder if he’s still thinking about it. I know I am.

Thinking of you

Seems totally pointless to post here but was thinking of you just now and wanted to reach out. Hope to hear from you. Wishing you the very best as always. I hope you are doing well.

Mr. Bad Timing

Home Depot dream cashier (Ashland)

I told you about a dream I had. I left completely bewildered that I told you about it. You must think Im crazy.

Lumber Store Man (Midlothian)

You were on the phone walking the aisles talking. You passed by several times. You were very cute. You were wearing your blue work uniform with your name on it. Each time you passed I made eye contact. Definitely would like some man fun with you.

7 cats (Chester)

I was talking to you today and you had on a blue straight outta pencils shirt on with black sweatpants. I would love to talk to you more. I was working at a store in Chester and we was having a conversation. You probably won’t see this. But a little about our convo is you was single and guys be wanting you to just jump on it and not anything else. So tell me what store I met you in. Never got your name. You also work with a vendor for the store that’s how you got your cats.

Great Big Greenhouse (Richmond)

Woman in black near the Spathiphyllum and Epipremnum. I believe you had Sansevieria on your flat cart. We coincidentally parked next to each other. Let’s be plant friends.

Kroger – Jeff

You were looking for molasses and we engaged in a brief conversation. I felt there was some chemistry there. I was too nervous to offer my phone number or ask for yours. I highly doubt you will see this ad. But if by some rare twist of fate that you happen to stumble upon this ad and reply, then I’d like to converse further.

But first, please indulge me and provide some identifying information so that I know that you were the guy I spoke to. For instance, what was I wearing? And where did I say I was from? Or tell me something to help me identify you.

Guys looking for women…??? (Everywhere)

Have any of you actually connected with a female???? 

I mean really connected..not just a few x-rated texts or emails???

Getting Coffee, reading a book? Watsons? (West/End, Short Pump)

I was getting coffee in the West End….. You’re the white woman who was reading a book with a big, white “Watsons” in the title. You’re book didn’t look like fluff. Give me a shout if you’re down.

Acura salesman (West broad)

You know you were flirting hard earlier today.. hope you sell me something!!

Early morning ride

Rideshare early in the morning…. you complimented my natural hair. You said you like to go dancing & should show me the city. You cut hair also 

I hoped you’d find a way to get in touch

Lyft passenger to patient first. (Fan)

Your name begins with k. Don’t wanna say more for your privacy. Remember me?

ODC beautiful tatted guy (RVA)

We met at ODC after 2 AM. You were ridiculously attractive, long hair, good beard, 6’2, had two tatted sleeves but your long shirt was covering them. I got you to come back to my apartment with me & it was amazing EXCEPT I never got any contact info from you 🙁 I think your name was Tristan but my friend said it was John. the fact I’m even writing this is hilarious but you were so handsome.

Mesmerized (Short pump)

I whispered in your ear that I was mesmerized by you. I told you I would be back next Friday to see you. I came, but I had to leave early. You probably dont look at these, but I figuired I would try. If its you just let me know where we saw each other. Hope this works!

missing (Charlottesville)

Missing my lg as of late, I hate that you had to move away to be with your husband. Maybe one day you will be able to confide in him your true desires, instead of sneaking around. Be good Princess maybe fate will bring you back to me

Should have asked for your number, beautiful African-American lady in Target the other day that I chatted with.

Single mom looking for man at Hamilton (Richmond)

We sat next to each other at Hamilton at the Altria on Friday night, the 29th. I was there with my two daughters and you were there alone. I’m guessing you’re in your early to mid-50s. I found you very attractive, and your lack of a ring did not go unnoticed.

Best Of VA Missed Connections November 20 – November 26

It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and everybody’s a little punchy, eagerly awaiting the long weekend and massive amounts of food we’re all gonna scarf down between now and Cyber Monday. So with that in mind, dive into a wild and wooly week of Missed Connections.

In this edition, we’ve got people seeking everything from literal ice queens to literal incels. If you’re in the latter category, I’m sad to report that no end to your involuntary celibacy is on offer… but at least someone might talk to you. We’ve also got an entirely-too-lengthy rant by some edgelord who hates on everyone else’s ads for several paragraphs before finally admitting that he’s really just as sad and lonely as the rest of us.

Before we get to all that, though — everyone tells you to buy a girl a drink, but one of you fine players out here bought a girl a sandwich. I don’t know about her, but I can tell you that if I was still single, that move would DEFINITELY work on me. Meanwhile, you know the first-responder worship has gone too far when people are having spiritual transformations after looking into the eyes of a cop. Blues lives don’t matter THAT much, y’all. Let’s bring it down a notch.

And by the way, that classic cheap cologne by Faberge is spelled Brut. A brute is something else entirely; if you’re wearing that cologne, it might be you.

Have a brutal Thanksgiving, Virginia.

Ice Queen (Tuckahoe)

Looking for an Ice Queen because my air conditioning is broken and stuck at 59°.

you were the psycho who had a street beef with some lady from roanoke (blackstone)

i saw you and havent been able to get you off my mind

RE: (BLACKSTONE) (Goochland)

I was throwing some beef with some lady in roanoke, but i’m not psycho!

Girl in Black Top at Tobacco Company Club (Shockoe Bottom)

I saw you at the Tobacco Company Club on Saturday night, November 16th. You looked amazing in your low cut black top and we smiled at each other as you passed me by while we were both near the bar. Later I saw you on the dance floor and we made eye contact and smiled at each other several times. I should have come over and danced with you but I chickened out. Give me a chance to take you out for a drink. I was the guy wearing the blue shirt, white male, blondish/brown hair. Send me a message if you see this and if this sounds like you.

Fit brunette with very short hair

You probably will never see this but I just wanted to say that you’re beautiful. Incredibly fit, and you obviously have a lot of discipline and drive. You have an amazing body, a beautiful smile that could light up a room, and the short hair is incredibly sexy.

Hopefully you know that all your hard work definitely gets noticed! We see each other 3-4 times a week, and I always look forward to seeing you.

we collaborated on art

hey… you. (female..5’6, size 2-3) and I worked together on some art projects at my studio. I have since lost ALL my contacts, and have deleted FB. .001% of you seeing this, but hell…why do people put messages in a bottle? 🙂

Looking for incel, or similar to interview (Richmond, VA)

Hi, really interested in a talk/ filmed interview with a local incel or similar, can be anonymous with face shrouded. Just need someone to shed light on the community, and would love to hear from somebody in it rather than someone biased. contact me if you’re interested.

BamBam (Elkton)

You know who you are. I can’t find you anywhere. Do you wanna be found?

If so – reach out. There’s so much I want to say. I’m sorry, I miss you and I care about you are a few of the things I really want to get off my chest if you’ll let me.

-A

Pride in our story

It’s a meaningless, empty life when you find you aren’t just lonely, but bored. I need a good man to recover me and hold my hand and write the next part of my life. Help me remember what makes me vibrant again (healthier habits and get in shape)! Far from perfect but I’ll try hard and keep it that way. If you describe yourself to me in more than 2 sentences, I’ll describe me back. Prefer humble and laid back. A man…aka someone who is not with someone else currently. Prefer 40’s, humble, funny, tall, and laid back?

To the Hamilton ensemble girl with the buzzcut (Richmond)

I went for a musical and left with a crush. The whole cast was fantastic, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of you whenever you were on-stage. I hope you have a great time in Richmond and keep killing it in the show!

Dollar General Goddess

A, I miss you, I told you you look like Scarlett Johansson. I know we only played twice at my friends house. You wanted to work it out with him. Any chance I can have your legs up in the air again and ….
If you read this reply with your name in subject

We work together (Farmville)

We work together and flirt quite often when we see each other. You more then I at times, but only because I have a little bit of a school girl crush on you. You are a older white man that so happens to be married. Me I am a somewhat Middle aged white female. It’s getting to the point where the talk is getting old and I’d love to see some action from you. I doubt you will because you are married but damn you’re tempting….!

Driving down Mulberry (Martinsville)

I see you driving that white pick up. Old logo on the side. Ours eyes meet. You know! I know! Is that enough though? For now I guess it will have to be.

I bought some new brute spray today. Just know when I wear it, it’s for you.

Firestone (Roanoke, VA)

You serviced my Honda last week. You were tall and had a full dark beard. I was the brunette staring a hole in you. Would love to take you out to dinner/drinks sometime.

7-11 spark with cop created 180 transformation thank you 🇺🇸💞😇 (Virginia Beach)

Oct 25 I had a chance encounter coming out of 7-eleven on S Independence Blvd 430-ish. We looked at each other and something went right through me. I can’t describe it but it’s very powerful. So much so, that it created an immediate 180 in my life. I grew a lot of faith, patience and value in myself. It was an undeniable soulmate spark a one in a million chance……very rare. Although it was a blessing to feel that spark, it’s also lonely because I don’t want anything less than what I felt.

You’re a tall, handsome, white male Police Officer, dark hair, clean cut, about mid 30’s…..you are a blessing 😇

I’m the red head Irish woman (single), sorry we never got a chance to speak…my friend was in the Ram truck beside you…..much regret not even smiling.

I chose you the moment the spark happened. Every day I wake up, I give thanks and ask for you to be protected. Footprints in the sand is exactly how I’m feeling

If we see each other again I’d like to chat and maybe grab a drink. You’re salt of the earth, I’m transparent and have a set of values that may impress you 💞

Thank you universe
🇺🇸💞😇

Young Female (VIRGINIA BEACH)

You were sitting outside Wawa at Holland and Independence on 11/20 around 1130am, I bought you a sandwich. What type sandwich and what else did I give you?

Saturday Night at Sine (Shockoe Bottom)

I saw you Saturday night at Sine in Richmond. You were a girl who got a table with a few of her friends. We made eye contact as you walked through Sine and then I smiled at you while you were eating — I think I caught you when your mouth was full – lol. Anyway, I thought you were really pretty (you have amazing legs!) but there wasn’t really any way for me to interrupt your group and introduce myself, and my friends were about to leave anyway. If you thought I was cute too, write back and maybe we can get a drink at Sine.

How Batshit Crazy Are You Really? (Stafford)

Ok, so I am bored and wanted to have a little fun, so I decided I would post an ad on craigslist and see what happens. Now this is not going to be your average post. It is going to be a little bit longer than what you might be use to reading so, if you have the attention span of a gold fish this might be a little difficult for you. Also it has come to my attention that we live in a world of overly sensitive pussies that get offended anything and everything, if thats you I highly suggest you stop reading this right now bc I do not want to be blamed for the tears you may want to cry, I seriously give zero fucks. So lets get to it shall we?

We are all human and we all have our primal wants, needs and desires, but WTF is going on here people, I mean guys have you really read the ads you are posting on here. You really think some woman, bored out of her mind, wants to hangout with a complete stranger, that writes a post with zero fucking creativity. Some of your post have less effort then what it would take to reach into your pocket, to pull out your wallet, to pay a prostitute. And ladies before you get all high and mighty you might wanna slow your roll a little because the number of horny housewives actually do consider fucking one of these tools is higher than you would expect. In the last two years I am willing to bet I have been approached by more women with a boyfriend, or a husband than I have ones that are single.

So why did I title this How Bat Shit Crazy Are You Really, well to get your god damn attention for one, and if you have made it this far I suppose it halfway worked. And lets be real you came onto craigslist missing persons section bc you are missing something, my guess is an orgasm that is intense enough to make your legs tingle and twitch. Come people we all know batshit crazy is usually a sign that reflects fun in the sack. Nobody wants a boring old missionary fairy thats why PornHub is the most viewed site on the internet. In all honesty I think it was my curiosity more so than yours that made me title this ad what I did. I wanted to see who would respond, who’s attention I would grab, who’s feelings I might bother a little.

I feel like this ad will probably get flagged before I get any replies but fuck it at least I had a little fun writing it, I mean what else was I gonna do get my chuckles reading the boring as ads of all the guys wanting a find a female to hangout with. Actually I am a little shocked at the amount of male for male ads, what would your wives say you dirty dogs. Hell shes probably the bored horny one that wouldn’t mind getting double dicked down.

What happened to people making real connections, telling the truth to one another, not being afraid of their insecurities, getting a divorce instead of cheating on their spouse. That is kind of asking for a lot when you consider the current state of our society, I mean how many girls still exist that don’t have two baby daddies, are not on some kind of mental health drug, haven’t been to rehab and are on probation, that embrace their inner slut on a daily, love the idea of lingerie and can even fit into a small to a medium, might even already be PornHub, and can actually read this ad this far. We are all bat shit crazy to our own degree, I mean you kind of have to be to make it through the normal day to day, just turning on the news and listening to our leader talk makes me lose complete hope in the education system of this country.

At any rate hope you enjoyed my words but I am sad to say my boredom has been cured now for the moment but do not fear because the day is still young and we might be day drinking together before you know it.

Take it easy everybody lets see how long it takes for this to get flagged.

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, in which we learn that the heart wants what it wants, even when that thing might not be what’s best for you. We also learn that the recent colder temperatures might just be afflicting our MC posters’ fingers, as ads are more terse than ever this week. We’re guessing lots of you are just hurrying to finish typing your posts so you can put your gloves back on. Suggestion: wait til you get where you’re going to let the world know about your missed connection. If you forget it by the time you get there, was it really worth posting about?

There’s also a lot of food talk in this week’s Missed Connections… I guess the temps are also fueling our nesting instincts, meaning we all want to cuddle up with a warm plate of delicious eats. How long before these posts become dominated by talk of “Netflix and chill” in front of the fireplace? At this rate, I give it three weeks.

And finally, of course, we’ve got some questions from a straight guy who, from the sound of it, might not be so straight after all. If any of our readers still feel like they need permission from the world to explore options beyond strictly hetero couplings, well, I’m officially giving it to you.

Let your rainbow flag fly, Virginia.

This is not really a missed a connection since we never did talk, but more of a missed opportunity. You sang “Give it Away” at karaoke last night (Saturday), and you were there with a friend. I just thought you were really hot and tried to not look obvious catching glimpses of you all night, since I wasn’t there alone, but then again, neither were you though I’m almost positive you were there with just a friend. Wish you were naked when you sang that song lol.

We work together! (Va beach)

So we work together, although we really dont say much other than saying hi and maybe complaining a little about the day, but I always catch you looking at me and vice versa so I just wondered if there was something there.

It could be this is all just a misreading but the way your face lights up every time I say hi to you.. it makes me wonder because you are gorrrrgeous.

Anyway if this reaches the intended person, tell me your name and where we work (and maybe a picture) and I’ll hit you back up!

We voted last week here in Virginia and this seems to have had an effect on the Missed Connections this week. So if you worked at the polls last Tuesday and found yourself eyeing a handsome young voter, then you just might have a post waiting for you below.

We’ve also got flexible dead ringers for Drew Barrymore, lusty UberEats drivers, and plenty of Kroger shoppers keeping the larder stocked with love. And hey, if you’re Connie who drives the BMW and shops at the Food Lion, it seems you’ve got your own little fan club going this week. Make these men some meatloaf already!

But hey, if you’re going to use a 50-cent word in your Craigslist ad, we just want to warn you to look it up first. Because let me tell you, it’s doubtful anyone’s dress is particularly famished (which means hungry), no matter what color it is.

Get those dictionaries out, Virginia.

My crazy straight friend (Henrico)

He alway wore a shirt that said I’m not gay but 20 bucks is 20 bucks. Lol

Cute Brunette Election Worker (New City Fellowship Polls) (City of Fredericksburg)

I came in to polls at about 6:30 P.M., wearing heavy gray coat, had a mustache and goatee. You had pink nails and black nylons. Your name was Exim? You told me but I’m not sure how to spell it.

You’re a good looking gal. Didn’t get chance to go back and talk – drinks sometime on me? I live just around the corner.

Ms. Fancy Pants

You used to call me that. I have missed hearing that this past year.

I hate the way things ended between us. But i guess when one person wants to be in a committed relationship and the other doesn’t, it’ll never work. Just wish I hadn’t of fallen in love with you. (you never knew that part)

Even thou we met here, I’m sure you don’t look at this anymore. I just needed to vent.

Uptown Wednesday (Chesterfield)

Drew Barrymore look alike

Best Of VA Missed Connections October 30 – November 5

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

It’s voting day here in the Commonwealth, and the connection with your polling place is definitely one you should not miss if you’re a registered voter. You can learn where you vote by entering your voter registration information at Virginia’s Citizen Portal, and you can figure out who’s on your ballot (so you can cram in some last-minute research before heading over there) by entering your home address at Ballotpedia.

OK, now that we’ve got the serious stuff out of the way, let’s talk about this week’s Missed Connections. There are definitely some hotties out there encouraging you to get out and vote, but we’ve also got our usual bumper crop of longing looks at the grocery store — now that’s what I call a meat market — and the Wawa (always). This week there are also some classic car fans kicking it old-school out in the country and some handsome metalheads who aren’t around quite often enough.

And hey, stick around until the end for a brief description of the events at the dry cleaner in downtown Spotsylvania. Don’t worry, it’s way less intense than that sounds.

Go vote, Virginia.

Beautiful man in rainbow car who reminded me to vote (Bon Air)

You corrected me on my polling place. You are pretty. Byeeee.

Cute man in Wegman’s this Morning (Wegman’s)

I can’t stop thinking about you and how cute you are. First ran into you in the bakery, then again in the wine section. You have the cutest smile and the perfect “dad bod”, with your incredibly cute preppy style. I am sure you were wondering why a woman in her 30s was looking your way and smiling, and possibly going out of her way to see you. I got really excited when you smiled back and asked me about a couple of bottles of wine, but I got way to nervous to take the conversation further. Now I am kicking myself for not taking that opportunity to say more, tell you I was really into you and that I have a thing for handsome middle aged men and that we should get together for drinks and get to know each other better. But I did not and now I am here posting this because it is easier to post this ad from home where you’ll likely never see it.

Mineral dollar general (Mineral)

I was buying Halloween makeup and your daughter picked some out for me l found you very attractive. I’m older so don’t know if you have any interest.. would like to hear from you

Chilly weather!!!!!!!!Let’s get together!!! (Newport News)

Food lion Galaxie and a White BMW (Bowling green)

I enjoyed talking with you this afternoon about the cars. You are very attractive. Maybe we can chat sometime.

To the gorgeous waitress. I wasn’t laughing at you!! (VB Chesapeake)

You bumped your head on a light while cleaning that table. I was laughing at something else when I looked over and saw you…

Wawa gas in Ashland on Sunday 10-27 (Ashland VA)

We were gassing up Sunday midday, you had a sort of tan/beige truck. Beautiful hair, smile and profile. We smiled at each other a few times, you were joined by another woman upon departure and you gave me a nice wave as you headed out. If you see this and travel some, perhaps you’d like to meet again? Put something about me or my vehicle in the subject so I know it’s not spam. Thanks!

Elizabeth!!!!! (Chester)

Love your outfit this morning. You look hot!

Marine type guy at Wawa (Stafford)

You were the very fit guy, possible Marine, in front of me in long line inside Wawa. I’m the goodlooking dark haired guy with whom you joked how hungry you were just leaving the gym. I’m looking for a similar wingman for post-workout fun.

How have you been ? (Chesapeake)

We met a few years ago. It was an instant attraction as we both shared a love of music and nature. I was your biggest risk… your greatest mystery… and the most certain thing you had ever known…

We hung out after Big Wild and you liked PUP (Richmond)

I met you guys after Big Wild played a show at the National and we hung out. We went to a few bars and generally had a cool time. At the end of the night I gave you guys a ride back to your Airbnb and you were using my spotify and said “cool you like pup!?”

This is a weird way to get in contact..but I feel like we were all having a good time hanging out and one of us should have gotten the other’s phone number. Hopefully you see this. If you do, reply with some more details so I know you know who I am. And lets all hang out again next time you’re in town.

Germana 7-11 TEXAS PROUD

Your tall, dark hair, tattoos on both arms, you were in line right in front of me. You had on a shirt that said Texas proud!! Your driving a new all black Camry. You were easily a 10!!! We looked at each other as I was walking out to my truck. I’d love to chat…..

beautiful blonde (short pump)

You always come into the grocery store I work at late before we close. Always in black pants and usually a black shirt but last night it was white. You are absolutely gorgeous and always give me a a beautiful smile. I’ve been hoping you’re single. Tell me what store if you think it’s you I’m talking about

Whole Foods around noon yesterday – f4m (Charlottesville)

I went to Whole Foods around lunchtime yesterday and picked up a few specific things. You were in front of me in line, and as we were chatting you became amused with what most of my purchase consisted of. I thought you were cute. If this is you tell me what I was buying. If you’re on fb or qwikmeet tell me what name you go by.

Sweetest interaction at the drive-thru ..W.. (Chesapeake)

You weren’t trying to brighten anyone’s day, but you did.

Short shirt in kroger (Richmond)

You were wearing a short shirt and gym shorts. We exchanged looks a couple times. I had long hair. Really wanted to say something

Dry Cleaners-Breezewood (Spotsy)

The beautiful woman that was at the Dry Cleaners this afternoon. You were wearing grey slacks with a black blouse driving a silver/grey vehicle. You were with another lady, who stayed in the vehicle.

We made quite a-bit of eye contact, gestured to one another with smiles and glimmering eyes. I was in a black Altima.

I’m 100% certain that had we both had a few seconds, we would have had a conversation and I wouldn’t be posting this-LOL.

It’s a long shot but, this is a Missed Connection. You had something else other than dry cleaning that you put into your vehicle. I hope this is a brief description of the events and if you are the beautiful woman that may be interested in me, I hope you reply with a couple of details as I can share more details.

Lexy, we keep catch each other looking, wonder if you’re interested (Hopewell)

We keep looking at each other. Wonder if we’re looking for the same reasons. If interested give me a smile next time we look at each other.

Petite black girl, pink/orange hair Raceway Warwick (Newport News)

So you saw me checking you out, and damn, you are the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time! You were getting gas and wearing a skin tight black jump suit (I think that’s what you call it lol), with pink/orange hair. Would love to see more of you, you were blowing my mind! 😉 What was I driving?

First Kiss (Richmond)

You were my first man to man kiss, your name is Jason, and you are in your 50’s. I told you that you were my first and I can not locate you. Send me a message.

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 Okhookup or kik tell me what name you go by.

Looking for old friend Post Office (Midlothian)

Hi folks,

It’s been almost 20 years so this may prove difficult. I’m looking for an old friend that is or was a postal carrier for midlothian. She worked or still works, may be retired, at the postal office behind what is or used to be Ukrops grocery store in sycamore square.

Brunette that works there, I want to say you’re the manager. Glasses, hair was up in a bun. Wearing a black jacket. Name starts with an H I believe.

Goodwill, closing time-Wednesday 10/23 (Charlottesville-29)

I seen you in the purse isle and tried to act like I didn’t see you until you had to back up to let me through. I said excuse me, and you politely smiled and moved. I managed to get behind you in line, and was checked out b4 you. As I was leaving, I motioned towards your cart and said” JACKPOT!” and got that smile again with a little small talk. If single and interested, I am too!

Best of VA Missed Connections October 23 – October 29

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

Halloween’s almost here, but this week Missed Connections is more about kicking dope rhymes than it is about costumery. If you can come up with a more creative couplet than one that pairs “beautiful” with “cuticles,” you just might find the hottie of your dreams.

Sexist stereotypes and extremely obvious marijuana references won’t win anyone anything except maybe a call from a narc, but painting secret-admirer mash notes on rocks and leaving them at your crush’s front door certainly might get you some attention. Meanwhile, it might be time to sweep the bathroom floor — the remnants of last week’s haircut seem to have attained sentience, and are making debatably threatening Craigslist posts about you.

If all else fails, maybe you can cure your loneliness at Kroger. If nothing else, it’s objectively the best grocery store chain in the city, so you’ll at least be able to get some good deals on produce.

Snack hard, Virginia.

The time is 4:20 (Stafford, VA)

Where are you Mr. Green?? The time is 4:20…Do you know what I mean? Extra for delivery

Lyft Rider-You were a witch

JJ1CZ (Costco)

One HOT MAMA, wished we could have spoken

Liv works at samsclub col. Hghts (Colonial heights)

I think your name tag said Liv. But you work at Sam’s Club you look incredible. Jaw dropping incredible I just wanted to let you know. Even though I am sure you already know that. If you happen to read this hope it brightens your day.

Your your the voice inside my head (Virgina beach)

I miss you, now I am acting like a punk clinching the tissue. We said I was just for fun, no attachment or trying to get serious. Then I got to know you, and you intrigued me being so mysterious. Things happen and everything got so delirious so I am trying to reach back to you because my heart is searching so furious. We use skate and make love I would always give you back rubs. Holding you nice and tight, maybe once day me and you can once again see a sunset cause you are my sunlight. You know who you are beautiful message me so I can get all up in your cuticles.

Sorry to disturb you friday (Innsbrook)

Sorry about that. Friday I was having my lunch in my work parking lot out near capital one and parked in the back to eat. Didn’t realize anyone was in the car but I saw the two of you climb up from the back seat and you took off. Sorry to be a blocker!

Walmart

Have you stopped thinking about me yet? I saw you watching me the whole time despite being with someone else.

Split ends (Ok)

Cut.
Cut me off.
Trim me down.
Look at me laying
On the floor.
Powerless.
Sweep me
Into you pan,
And look at me
One last time
Before you tilt
Your wrist
To banish me.
Deplorable.
Wash away the
Rest of me
And start
New.

“Love Rock” (Chesapeake)

On Wednesday October 23rd, a stone painted white on the top and words written in purple, red, and gold was found on top of my mailbox. I’m aware that rocks are passed around randomly all the time in this community with cute messages on them. I find really small ones around work once in a while. Except this time, I don’t believe it was from a stranger. They obviously knew where I lived. I believe the rock was a message for me. I am not sure whether to pass it on or find the person that left it. It is a mystery to me that I want to solve. I believe it was a message of love. If it was you or you know who it was, please reach out and give me an answer. I have never received anything like this before in my life, obviously this is a special and unique gift. My heart wants an answer. I need to find out why they have left it for me. This rock is more like a stone that was from my own garden or someplace by the water. It’s about 3-4 inches long and has some weight to it. The following words were written on it:

“Your love is golden!”

Girl dancing in the yellow beetle (Ashland, VA)

You were so cute dancing in your car. I tried to get your eye, but we were going about 85 on the interstate. I’m staying in Ashland, VA tonight but don’t live in the Richmond area. Just wanted to let you know how good your energy felt. Made me put on some music and dance myself. 😉

Like skin girl working at Pizza Hut (Hopewell)
