Welcome to Missed Connections! Pop quiz: what color are your pants? Did you know without looking? If so, you might be able to meet some cuties at the Wawa next time you’re out. In all seriousness though, if you’re looking to meet someone, it’s never a bad idea to leave the house wearing really killer shoes.

But maybe you’re just here for the fun times. If so, don’t worry, we’ve got plenty, from all across the state. From raw bars on the seaside in Virginia Beach to a Walmart parking lot in Front Royal and gas pumps down in Ridgeway, everybody’s feeling the love. I heard on NPR the other day that “hot vax summer” is just a bunch of hype, but you’d never know it by reading Craigslist this week.

Of course, everybody talks a big game from behind a computer screen. How many of you are willing to cross the line from online to IRL interaction? Not that we’re encouraging such things — we’ve seen way too many crashes and burns over the years. Maybe discretion really is the better part of valor.

Holler if you hear me, Virginia.

Byrd theater, your shoes are an A+ (Richmond)

I was walking down Cary Street.
You were standing out in front of the Byrd Theater. I interrupted your conversation with friends to complimented your shoes. I’d love to meet you for coffee or drink after work.

You have short blonde hair, a terrific smile and a great pair of sandals.

McDonalds for breakfast (Herndon)

Clocktower McDonalds
pulled up to the window and caught you smacking the drink machine into service
We chatted and I left you blushing
Let’s meet and chat

Cute female at Sliding Hill Wawa (Glen aAllen)

Just damn. You were waiting for your food and I was ordering a drink. That vibe was strong. You threw me off of my morning flow in a good way.

If you know what color your pants were, hit me up.

WAWA Near Woodlake May 24th (MIDLOTHIAN)

Near Woodlake,you were a black guy wearing yellow running shoes, mustache, and dark complexio. You started singing in the bathroom to the overhead music. You were flirting with me but I was with a friend in the car. I am a white preppy guy wearing jeans, burgundy polo shirt, brown running shoes and Rayban glasses with a black mask. I thought you were hot and would love to meet you. Hope you see this…

Walking on King St (Old Town)

I ran past you on King St on Friday afternoon. You’re very attractive. As I ran up the hill, you caught up to me as I slowed. Was too shy to chat, plus I was exhausted.
Would like to chat. Maybe we can go walking together again.
Me: white male, 50.
You: white female.

Savealot Beardy McBeardsen (Hopewell)

Orange shirt
Black banging car
Show me what you got??

Sexy girl with the Afro in Kroger (Rittenhouse Kroger)

Damn…..damn……damn! You are one fine looking woman. I loved watching you walk and when ours eyes met, I was smiling like a drunk fish in a tank of tequila! Let me know when your grocery shopping again……I’d love to run my cart into yours!

Cute girl at antique shop (Ruckersville)

Cute girl in a blue dress that smiled at me at the antique store in Ruckersville earlier today. I wanted to ask for your number, but I just got out of a relationship. So I wasn’t sure I was ready and now I really wish I had.

seaside raw bar- Saturday night (Virginia Beach)

unlikely you’ll come across this, but you were complimenting me on my tattoos; at first I didn’t think anything about it but you seemed almost persistent? you have long hair and were with the homies, you fine as hell boy. Trying to get to know you, I should’ve said something.

Met at Sheetz in Ridgeway (Ridgeway, VA)

I know this is a real long shot, but with no other options here I go. This morning (7/20) I stopped to get gas at the Sheetz. Parked next to a guy who was driving a red Chevy pickup getting gas too. We started a quick conversation, you know the one where we really didn’t say anything but being nice to each other. This one was a little different though, I thought you wanted to take the conversation in another direction but didn’t. I WANTED TOO AS WELL! I was driving a black Ram Dually. I am the tall guy with the grey goatee. You were the tall guy with dark hair with a really short beard. Get with me on here! I wanna meet you. We could have a good time together, doing stuff.

You moved! Boo! (Arlington)

You moved ! You were such a delight to have as a balcony neighbor!

I wish I would have known!!

Sat next to you at Chadwicks (Alexandria)

We high fived because I didn’t smack you… Despite my over-gesticulating. You got away before I could get your number.

Welcome to this week’s edition of Missed Connections, where we’re gonna start with a bit of pretentiousness from your friendly neighborhood editor. Confidential to poet seeking muse: “wherefore” doesn’t mean “where,” it means “why.” In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet literally said the line “Wherefore art thou Romeo” TO Romeo. She was asking “Why are you Romeo of the Montagues, the family my entire family hates?” She was NOT asking “Where are you, Romeo?” She was looking right at him — she knew where he was. If you want to write something as good as Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee,” you should probably learn what words mean before you use them.

Whew. OK, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, keep reading if you want to see the huge divergence in the way two different people will describe almost the exact same encounter. We’ve also got some possibly overzealous pals trying to set their friend up on a blind date without her knowing that it’s happening. Good luck with that one, y’all. And finally, something that’s sure to be the wave of the future: cute random meet-ups at the electric car charging station!

There are even a few truly incomprehensible ads in the mix this week. I’m a sucker for those.

Keep it powered up, Virginia.

Tattooed Brunette at Carytown Kroger (Carytown)

You are the beautiful brunette I let in front of me in the self service line at the Carytown Kroger on Sunday evening. I mentioned that I liked your tattoos and inquired where you got them done. You wished me a good evening as we walked to our cars. I’d love to continue our brief conversation over a cup of coffee or dinner sometime.

cute brunette shopping late (Richmond)

I like how the party girls are already back at it but the cutest girl in town was out getting groceries. Want to reply to a guy on Craigslist? Maybe not, but consider this: we will have been among the last people in the store before the grid goes down (midnight here = noon in Beijing), so we should pool our resources. Eventually, if the human race needs perpetuating, we’ll be set. This is a matter of practicality, and I’m clearly a man of foresight, so the choice is obvious. See ya soon.

Replica of a mustang or white house (Henrico)

I saw you walking inside the store you turned your head side ways and said come here.
After we crossed paths in the isles. You said replica.
Probally be the only person I missed in this world. Please don’t flag this because I am looking for my best friend.

millridge parkway + your dimples (Midlothian)

i was stretching my legs on the bridge, completely oblivious and in your way. then i looked up and saw your smile! me: male, greenish tie dye shirt; you, female, white adidas hat, dimples for days. kismet?

I love you (Radford)

I’ve messed up everything in my life. All the pain and struggle in my life is because of me. I’m sorry I involved you in it. BUT, we made a child that will be better than both of us. He motivates me to be a better person. I will overcome this and someday you will understand me and my pain.

“[email protected] ASAP” July 1 at 8 Rt. 33 at 29

Something to identify was DR1VE1234. I was trying really hard and if this makes through to the post I wish you a (now) very late July 4th.

Annabel Lee

Winsome poet seeks his muse. Wherefore art thou, Annabel Lee?

Costco 7/13 (Fredricksburg)

I know this is a really long shot. And I’ve never done this before. But it’s worth a shot as I thought you were nice.

We chatted in the snack area at Costco. I thought you were pretty, nice, and had a great personality. Thank you for the smile.

You were with a friend and I was with a family member so I didn’t try to flirt to hard. That said, after I left I’m now kicking myself as something about you was extra cool.

So if you see this, and if this makes sense I’d love to hear from you. If not hope you have a great day.

Beautiful girl in Jeep with Washington tags (Newport News)

Coming back from the Outer Banks you and I weaved in and out of traffic together. Made the drive home pretty fun.As I exited we both gave each other a wave. Let me know what kind of truck I was in. I hope you see this.
If so, say hello

Posting for a friend: coffeehouse matchmaking

There’s a certain coffee shop off the w o & d trail that my beautiful and amazing friend frequents- we call you tall dark and handsome.

She’s a bit shy, but you should approach. I promise you she’s very friendly and pretty spectacular. At the very least you’ll meet an excellent friend.

If it works we can tell her about this ad later. 🙂

Nats game

Had fun talking to you at the Nats game.

I wanted to ask for your number but my buddy was there and I didn’t want to be rude since we were going out to help him get over a breakup.

Let me know what I was wearing in the subject line.

Snap Peas Harris Teeter Gainesville

Thanks for your help. The salad turned out great!

Caboose Merrifield

Looking for the self-proclaimed nerd with the self-parking car who sat next to me and my friend. Let me know if you plan on charging your car in Merrifield again 😉

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time once again to review the past week of wackiness via the ever-faithful Missed Connections! This week, we will learn that some Home Depot encounters are more pleasant than others, and that, even if you’re not road-raging, cars can be dangerous.

We’ll also get a pretty obvious reference to the Fifty Shades series, married dudes shooting their shot with married women, mixed-drink propositions, and all the little restaurant meet-cutes that keep us coming back to Craigslist, week after week.

One thing we must ponder, though — why sully a detailed missed connection you’ve written up to try and snag the beer-bellied hunk of your dreams with a last-paragraph shoutout to anyone else of a similar type who might be reading? It just screams desperation, y’all. And it certainly isn’t flattering to the guy you were just trying to pick up on.

Get your act together, Virginia.

Road Rager (Richmond)

To the Road Rager in the little blue car. You took a big chance chasing a car around. Get some anger management help before you get hurt. You were lucky.

Home Depot – Run over by truck (Colonial Heights)

Home Depot parking lot, Colonial Heights, today (Sunday) around 12:00, a truck backing out of a space almost ran you over.

You were a cute gal with dark hair. We spoke briefly. I’d like to talk you some more.

What did we say to each other?

You offered me a cart at Home Depot today (Christiansburg)

We both went for the same cart today at Home Depot and you offered it to me.

I thought you seemed kind–and cute!

If you are single and want to see what I look like without a mask, end me an email and we can meet for coffee or lunch.

If you respond, describe what you look like and about what time it was, so I know it’s you.

Annie

Book written by E.L James

If any southern girl is into this type of lifestyle is out here then lets meet up and see what sorts of fun we can get into.

Waiter at PLT (Kemps River)

This is to the very fine looking young man working last Thursday at Park Lane Tavern. You have black hair and are sporting what has the potential to be a fantastic handlebar moustache. I (wm) was sitting in a booth late afternoon with an older woman. You didn’t wait on us but brought our food out. You must have caught me checking you out because you were looking over at me for a bit but I found it hard to return the stare. I came in today for lunch but unfortunately you were not there. Just wanted you to know you made eating there more enjoyable and my new favorite place!

Priscilla (Rva)

Invite me over to take a bath,I want to show you how happy you can make me!

Blues night dude

Younger dude who was staring hard at this older dude (me). Do we know each other or did you want to meet?

Rum for your Seagrams? (Hampton/Yorktown)

7-11, longest check out line ever. Allowed us to check each other out and I hope you liked what you saw as much as I sure did. Thank you for the beautiful smiles in line and the precious smile in your mirror as you backed out. You should have come and said hello at the gas pump I don’t bite.

Trackside Grill (Ashland)

Pleasantly surprised that you recognized me. First time ive been able to see you w/o your mask. i wouos be interested in meeting you for a drink sometime.

What’s my favorite sandwich order?

Danny at the gay beach (Alexandria)

Danny, we met last weekend at the gay beach. We were both hanging out in the water and I approached you. You were big, beefy, with a beautiful beer belly and amazing pink nipples. Your smile is a winner and you have great blue eyes.

I was the white guy, brown hair blue eyes, tattoo, blue and red shorts.

We chatted for a bit about sports and DC. Before I could chat you up again, I lost sight of you and you had left. I thought there was some interest, maybe not. Get in touch if so.

If anyone else who fits the bill is reading this and wants to get in touch, cool. Just please don’t reach out with one line. Send an actual email please with pictures. Helps weed out the unserious.

Blonde in all black (Hogs Head Cafe (West end))

I was sitting in back with a group of guys. I caught your eyes a few different times. Even with your mask on I could tell you are super cute! Wasn’t sure if you were just being a Server or you were interested? Didn’t know how to approach you in a work situation.
Want to grab a drink?

Mike with vintage car (richmond)

use to help a young guy Mike who had a vintage car in his grandfathers business garage downtown we had a unique way to fund the project hit me up will help again.

We forgot to exchange numbers (Virginia Beach)

You: tall, blonde, muscular with tattoos , you were wearing red collared shirt and black pants
Me: asian transgirl, i was wearing a tube top with high rise jeans.
We were at central 111
We were talking about places to visit in Philly, but my friends were already leaving and i forgot to give my number when u went to the restroom.
I hope u see this. Cos that was definitely a missed connection.

Nice looking woman at Walmart on 17 (Fredericksburg)

We made eye contact while you were sitting in the passenger seat of your white pickup. I believe you may have been with your husband as I was with my wife. I know this is a shot in the dark but would enjoy the opportunity to shop alone with you and enjoy a conversation.

guys can relate, too (Main Street)

here’s to a bigger, bolder connection

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where it’s summer, it’s hot, and it’s only going to get hotter. Lake Mead is dry and it’s 115 degrees in British Columbia, but your uncle still says climate change is a hoax. Are we all doomed? Maybe so. But let’s at least make the best of it before the wildfires and rising sea levels take us all out. And we do that by reading the best and wackiest Missed Connections Craigslist has to offer!

This week, that most definitely includes a certain sugar baby who’s looking for an upgrade, as well as someone on the CD aisle in Target who either has constructed the most elaborate double entendre ever or really is an awkward music nerd with a penchant for accidental that’s-what-she-said-isms. I truly have no idea; you be the judge!

You can also enjoy tales this week of termite traps, swimmer stalkers, Teslas with lightning plates, and goth girls with secondhand boots. But don’t get too enraptured with the new mail lady, because you might end up making the internet’s biggest rookie mistake: typing your entire Craigslist post with capslock turned on.

Sugar it up, Virginia.

Man at the bar with his sb (Richmond)

Guy in his 40s that kept staring at me with him sb. I just wanted to say we both know I’m more attractive and you could be my sd instead.

PikNik Biker Boy (The Fan)

We met on the patio of PikNik with my (former) boss/best friend. You had just made a new jailbird friend who also had a badass Harley. You both came back to our studio for piano and we connected over 3-D imagery. What was your name?! You worked for corporate ABC and we had a mutual friend. Would love to run into you again….

Looking for the swimmer (Midlothian)

I must be insane for posting this…but here goes.

You…a lean male swimmer at a Midlothian gym; Me…not a swimmer, but a male admirer.

You…mid 50’s, great lean body; Me…mid 50’s, lean body as well; I see you at the gym early mornings – you swim, I lift.

You…very smart; Me…work with aircraft (not so smart).

Me…infatuated.

If you think this is you..and if you’re interested in me…email me…tell me the brand/color car you drive.

So I ask who really cares anymore?

Looking at albums at the Potomac Run Target CD isle (Sterling)

We both smiled at each other when I was checking out the CDs. I am the guy with the running cap. Couldn’t exchange info as I was with family but you asked what my favorite genre was. You said I could bring my collection to put and play in your CD or record player. Hope you see this and write me back.

young white guy with red shorts 9th st and fairfax (Ballston)

Flash flood level rain began and my sister and I put on our swimsuits and ran outside to lay down in it, then got up and ran around the block. Passed someone going the other direction and we cheered each other. I wanted to stop but momentum carried me on.

Might be my soulmate!

Hope you got home safe

Hope you see this and hit me back

Welcome to Missed Connections, where the heat of the late-June days is reflected by the content of the posting happening. At least it is this week. That said, it is Craigslist, so things always come out a little weird. And sometimes, more than a little creepy.

For example, there’s the guy posting about his threesome experience in a way that makes the story pretty much impossible to believe. As for the guys who met up in the garage to “move a large pipe” and laugh together about how wives don’t like to do things… well, there’s a lot to unpack here. And this time that’s NOT a metaphor for some sexual act.

This also seems to be the week for posts from women trying to sell their dirty laundry. We always hear about this kind of thing happening elsewhere in the world (the notorious urban legend about the used-panty vending machines in Japan, for example), but is there a market for this kind of thing here in Virginia? Multiple Craigslist posters are about to find out!

Make that money, Virginia.

Who is “he” and what did he say? (Byrd Park)

“That’s what he said” was tagged on an electric box near near the sidewalk surrounding Byrd Park Lake and I want to know who “he” is and what he said.

Looking for Danny from Mechanicsville (Mechanicsville)

Hey, Your phone is going directly to voicemail. Please don’t pay attention to what Steve’s posting about me on CasNight. It’s all lies! He’s just jealous that we hit it off. I’m still at Super 8 so come by so we can talk about this. Jen

Dirty Laundry (Henrico)

I’m a lady looking to share some worn and loved clothing items. Serious inquiries only!

helped you out (midlothian)

I lost your contact I stopped by your garage one evening and saw you struggling to move a large pipe. I offered to help you get the job done quick. you thanked me and we laughed how wives don’t like lifting things. anyway I’m around if you remember me and willing to swing by I’m thinking it needs to rest of the other side now. lol

Me and a buddy took you back to my place (MECHANICSVILLE)

A few months back me and my friend met you at Midway in Mechanicsville. We took you back to my place and my friend and I finished ourselves all over your buxom chest. I lost your number. You were blond, mid 20s, curves for days. Please reach out. We want to do it again.

you missed your drink(shake) (herndon)

I delivered your food yesterday night but I forgot your drink and I said I will bring it back to you and I left without asking you your Apt#, then I brought the drink but I didn’t remember your apt. #. Your name starts with “J”. We had some conversation about your apt. gate entrance and you came bar foot to receive your Uber eats delivery food. If you see this message, please email me I will buy you your shake.

You worked the pick-up window today. We chatted for a minute while I waited for the rest of my order. I mentioned that there were a ton of people that worked there. I thought you were very attractive!! Describe what I look like in your reply if your interested too!!

You: Tall Blond F in Blue Shorts (Walmart, Haymarket)

Me: Suave male in Panama hat.

I wasn’t sure if you were being coy or just not interested. I regret not asking you out for an ice cream or drink.

Just respond with the thing you noticed most about me (other than the hat).

Mr. E.

Ashley-Madison Missed Connection (Hampton/Virginia Beach)

It’s been maybe 10 or 11 years ago now, but I met a gorgeous Latina via A-M. She came from Hampton to my house in Va Beach. I am now living in Norfolk. She was driving a dark blue or black Chevy Traverse. I saw her only that one time as she got cold feet and never got back with me. I would dearly love to rekindle that flame. If you see this, and yes, as everyone says, it’s a long shot, tell me the color of the felt on my pool table so I know it’s you.

Jim

Fighting with your boyfriend at 130am (Newport News)

Hello Dont know if you will see this or not. But your a short haired blond. You and your boyfriend were arguing last night at 130 am. Across from my house. I seen him slap you,and push you. You don’t Deserve that. You should find a real man. Men don’t treat females that way. This happened on Charlotte drive.
I seen him slap you,and push you.I went to get dressed and I was coming to kik his ass,but by that time the two of you were gone. I just hope your ok.

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where starting things off on a down note is just another aspect of life’s rich pageant. Don’t worry though, folks — like Monica Lewinsky said to the HBO Max intern, it gets better!

This week we’ve got everything from craft beer hunks to long-ago coworkers, as well as a great example of poor, punctuation-free writing having the effect of burying one of the most entertaining sentences I’ve seen on Craigslist in a while. But maybe I just have a weird sense of humor.

By the way, there’s at least one Missed Connection post in this week’s batch that deserves to be optioned as a movie, Zola-style. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

Meet me at the Shell station, Virginia.

When youve had enough of life (Richmond)

Take care Richmond.

Long shot, Sears coworker 15ish years ago? (Regency)

15 years ago I worked at the Sears in Regency in the optical department. There was this girl who worked in the children’s or women’s department. Always at the register. When I first started working there I noticed her. She was way too pretty to be working at a place like that. I was 20 at the time and I think she was a little older than me.

I never had the balls to talk to her or ask her out but we would exchange smiles. She later started dating the loss prevention person.

The two of them got arrested because the loss prevention guy was robbing the place blind and they were dating at the time. I always wondered what happened to her. I honestly don’t even remember her name.

I don’t even know why she came up in my mind so many years later. I always regretted never getting to know her better or at the very least asking her out. I was new to town and didn’t really know anybody.

Oh well. This is more of a rant anyways.

My New friend in Manassas (Manassas)

You wanted to meet at the Shell gas station on Hastings Dr. But I couldn’t meet you.

Then I hit u up to meet me at the Burger King next to KFC/Taco Bell but you didn’t see my message in time.

You told me you have been busy with work. You are in the plumbing profession.

If you see this let’s try again. Email me, you don’t seem to be responding to mh emails.

Harris Teeter (Reston)

Yesterday afternoon (around 4:45) – very pretty asian woman, dressed in black (for a workout maybe?), wings/angel tattoo on the back of your neck. We crossed paths a few times. Hit me up if you’d like to talk (I was in the dark blue tshirt and tan shorts).

G. Wash Mem Hywy FOOD LION Cashier (Yorktown)

Had to try….I was picking up a few things last evening around 930 pm at the Food Lion on George Washington Memorial Highway…..was fortunate enough to have an awesome checkout clerk who I loved seeing and chatting with….asking if I was sure I was 21 and offering my ID if you needed it (secretly hoping you would say yeah lemme see and say oh nice great age :)~ We were discussing seltzer and cider and wishing I was going to drink that 12 pack you showed me with you…as I am sure you heard me say it looks delicious…so did the seltzer ;)~ Would love to drink a few together sometime if you are available and interested in an older fun friendly man who I am certain you know was enjoying your company and scenery for that short time and would love to enjoy LOTS more of it 😉

Craft Beer Hunk (Brookland)

To the guy serving me beer the other day… you seemed a little stressed and sweaty. You recommended the New England IPA. I told you I was from New England just visiting for the weekend. We both laughed and you spilled a little bit of beer as you poured it for me. So subtle. So cute.

Hoping you see this…I was the guy in a Carson Palmer jersey.

Wanted to talk more on the flight (Alexandria)

We were talking on the flight. You said something funny about the seat in front of me that got us laughing. What was it? Would love to talk to you more!

Manager (Richmond)

Long shot but hoping my boss checks here. There has been almost a connection that I’m not sure if I’m misreading. We’re always off on the same days. We tease all day. Let me know if this is you.
