Things are a little light in the world of the Missed Connections this week, it seems. Could that be because everyone’s out on the streets speaking their mind? If so, that’s definitely not a bad thing. And thankfully, there are still more than a few of the awkward potential meet-cutes we all come to Missed Connections for — so get ready to dive in!

For example, we’ve got people drawing attention by filming insects, and hot grandmas ready to embrace their inner cougar. We’ve got awesomely obnoxious tailgaters and convenience store parking lot cruisers. And of course, in this time of COVID-19 (remember COVID-19? It’s still a threat, so keep wearing your mask), we’ve got plenty of people crushing on their delivery drivers.

But hey, if you are seriously having enough trouble finding the guy you were supposed to rent an apartment with that you have to post about him on Craigslist, you probably should just get a different roommate. Imagine having to do that every month just to pay rent.

Take it to the streets, Virginia. And remember — Black lives matter.

Cute gal on belle isle saw me film bees (Richmond)

I saw you today, watching as I was laying on the ground filming bees. I thought you were really cute, and wanted to chat, but I was on the clock and kind of surrounded by bees. So, here’s hoping.

Letting it go

It would be better if this wasn’t pushed any farther. At first I thought I could handle myself without feeling so deeply for you; more than I already did. I don’t know what it is, I completely melt around you, and it scares me because no man has that affect on me. Maybe it’s because you’re unattainable and I know I cannot have you. Maybe it’s because I see you as so perfect. I want to learn from you, I want to know you. But, I know that is not really possible anytime soon so, it’s better to just let it go now before I hurt myself in this little rendezvous.

Pizza guy (Henrico)

I ordered Christian’s and you delivered in a black car. You were wearing a white shirt. I said you look familiar and you said something that made me laugh. What was it? Maybe you can stay next time?

Hot Granny for Bodybuilder (Newport News)

Looking for the young hot Bodybuilder guy (18-25) who whistled at me and yelled “hot granny” near CNU. Got me curious about a younger guy. I’m 62 so please only age 35 and under. Tired of limp noodles. Send Age, City, Full Pix.

(I don’t reply to one word messages)

Amazon Girl(driver) (Richmond)

Guaranteed to be a long shot, but to the girl delivering for Amazon (I assume). You were in a white van. It was maybe 3-3:30ish or so. You had on green pants. And of course your face mask.You delivered to house(tell me the color so I know it’s you). I don’t know if you were looking at me or not. But I definitely was looking at you. Tell me what you saw, so I’ll know if it’s you or not.

Live…Love…

I’ve been thinking about you the past several days since we parted. Curious if you’ve been doing the same. I’ve wondered for a long time how things might have be different if I had met you first, if you and I might have been happier together than just watching each other from afar in relationships that aren’t really working. If you feel the same way, respond with what completes the title of this post – and tell me that I’m not alone in wondering…

Watch

The people around you. They lie and spread falsehoods because you have easy access to people and opportunities they could never have. And they want you just as miserable as they are. 

You have blue car with an obnoxious number of stickers (Charlottesville)

Thanks for tailgating the guy in front of us. You were rocking out insanely hard so it might have been an accident but no one has business going that slow

Blond in mini van.staunton (Staunton)

I miss the blonde that was driving the minivan probably an hour or two ago past 7-Eleven in town you know who I was tell me what I was driving. You dropped something I’d like to return. Just so we’re clear it’s you it was dirty blond hair an electric I believe blue eyes darkened. But they were oh so beautiful..u definitely dropped something I definitely have it

I fell in love with you (Stafford)

Hey. I fell in love with you the night we were watching my team and you leaned back in my arms on the couch and fell asleep.

Trust.

I looked down at you while you slept and knew I would always protect you and would never allow you to feel you were alone in the world.

Just know I will always have your back even if I open my heart to someone else. I love you.

W4M 

Where in the world is Doc Taylor (Greene)

Like trying to get apt. with Waldo, can’t ever find!

Got sign up Hero’s work here!

Really, where is Doc? must have gotten stuck in a phone booth last two months putting hero cape on.

“When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home”

Tecumseh

You were working. I want to have the conversation. (Downtown Roanoke)

You were working downtown on Saturday when I tried to talk to you. You said you couldn’t hear me but I know you could.

I want to have the conversation I was trying to have with you when you’re off the clock. It felt like you wanted to talk about it. I understand why you couldn’t.

I want to have the conversation with someone with your perspective.

I know 95% of the stuff posted in MC is more than platonic, but this isn’t. I just want to talk to you, human being to human being.

The kinksters are out and about in this week’s Missed Connections, and they’re getting downright bold. People looking to get tied up, people who want to buy poppers, people who want to hook up with a cop… all kinds of crazy desires are getting aired out here! There’s even a guy who wants to pay women to clean their houses, or so he says. Am I the only one getting serial killer vibes?

Let’s move on quickly from that to the more wholesome entries on this week’s list, like the people drooling over the hotties who used the warm weather over the weekend as an excuse to break quarantine and hit the beaches. A word to the wise: let the buns hang out all you want, but you probably should still bring your mask.

Flirting with cars next to you at lights and with people walking by your front windows is still much safer, and there’s a lot of that kind of thing going on, along with the old standby — checkout counters at the grocery store. Just goes to show, no matter what sort of disaster we’re all living through, the Missed Connections remain essential.

Exercise caution, Virginia.

Attractive Young Man will clean your place and pay

Hey there,

Are there any bossy or demanding women in RVA?

I like being bossed around and would clean your entire place for you. Floors, bathrooms, etc. I’ll also pay you to do it.

I’m ready to serve and you will be very surprised by how cute I am.

Strawberry St (Fan)

Does anyone know if the woman that works late at Strawberry St Market is single?

To the man I married

I know more than you realize. I’m just giving you enough time and rope to hang yourself. Keep up your games and posts on here and your text apps on your phone that you think I’m not aware of. I’m just watching and documenting it all so you will get nothing when I throw you out. I have no problems living on my own. You’ll be the one with no place to go.

Thong Bikini (Grandview Nature Preserve)

I don’t know who you were, with your ass-ets hanging out of that string bathing suit, but that was the most delicious thing I’ve seen at a public beach in a pretty long time. Such a bathing suit might technically be illegal in the fine state of Virginia, but I won’t tell if you won’t.

I’m honestly not looking to hook up or anything, and you did have a guy with you so I imagine you’re accounted for anyway. I just wanted to let you know that you really made my day. Please come to our beach again!

Christian Man for Woman

Good morning. I am a God fearing man looking for a new female friend. I am tall, and I have a muscular build. I think with everything going on right now is the time to draw even closer to God. It can be a great thing to find someone who shares your passion for God. If interested please send me a message telling me a little bit about yourself. Have a wonderful Memorial Day. God bless everyone. 

Guy driving a silver VW in front of me (F) at stoplight (Richmond)

I know this is a long shot, but today you were driving with a few friends and I pulled up behind you at the light. You rolled down your window and acknowledged me through your side mirror, and then your friend turned around to look at me. I smiled at you while I was next to you right before you got behind me to turn right. I don’t think you’ll ever see this, but I couldn’t think of any other way. If you think this is you, message me back with some detail like the car I was in, what road we were on, or something about my appearance.

My neighbor (Midlothian)

We see each other all the time and just today you were chilling out your window and waved at me and said something but I couldn’t hear or stop because I was walking too fast haha . I know this is a long shot but make the title “window shopper” if you think it was you.

Where can I get poppers

Does anyone know where I can get poppers other than Taboo’s?

All Tied Up (Yorktown / Newport News / Hampton)

We talked about our kinks and interests a while back. You were interested in rope and liked being tied up. You were in need of man that knew how to give you what you needed. We never got a chance to make it happen. I think we should. I hope to hear from you! If you think this might be you, please message. Would be a lot of fun to reconnect with you.

If you don’t think I’m talking about you, but you’re curious… it would be fun to hear from you, too! I’m a white male only interested in females.

Girl at the laundromat

That was a fun little exchange. You had me so riled up.

Fantasy (Ladysmith)

I have had this fantasy for years of hooking up with a cop. I’m not sure if it’s the uniform or what, but I know I can’t help but check out the bulges on all the local cops. I have a really hard time maintaining eye contact when in the presence of one. If any of them would ever like some discreet fun I’d be totally down. Don’t care about anyone’s situation and not trying to split anyone up, just trying to live out a long held fantasy.

Food lion

Saw you at food lion and my jaw dropped. I know you caught me staring. You were a gorgeous woman who had glasses and light hair. It was between brown and strawberry blonde. I hope you noticed me. I was the guy with his two kids. Tell me which food lion.

She said (Stafford)

It’s only when you’ve lost me that you’ll realize why I was worth more than the limited effort you gave. I had to protect my heart because my love for you consumed more of my mind and soul than I should ever have allowed without receiving the same in return.

Welcome to Missed Connections, where the fact that it’s been a really tough year so far is finally starting to dawn on certain of our fearless posters. Let’s be honest, at this point the only hope we have is for some positive changes on Election Day in November. If that doesn’t happen, 2020 is pretty much unsalvageable. But until we know one way or another, we may as well maintain some sort of hope.

There’s definitely at least one person out there whose hopes came true this week; and if it can happen for the naked backyard smoker, it can happen to you! So take heart, Virginia, and enjoy the latest stir-crazy edition of Missed Connections in the time of choleracoronavirus.

This week, we’ve got a heaping helping of bizarre weirdos, including the guy who thinks his chances with a woman come down to how nice his hairline looks. A remedial course in punctuation would probably do him just as much good as a touch-up; just sayin. Meanwhile, based on that story we ran last week, it seems to me that the young lady looking for a motorcycle-riding man who isn’t a million years old needs to be checking out the vintage bike shops. Hopefully she sees this.

By the way, mask or no mask, everyone’s hotter when they’re at Sheetz. But look out — with the bottom half of your face hidden, people might focus pretty heavily on… your hairline.

Touch that shit up, Virginia.

Dear 2020, (Roanoke)

Let’s face it, our relationship sucks. You misled me into believing this time would be different. I had so much hope and genuine excitement for our future…but now…I’m jaded. I think I even hate you a little bit. Thanks for all the disappointments and broken promises ✌🏽✌🏽

Is it too much to ask for… (N Chesterfield)

…one, just one, attractive, single, freaky woman without a ridiculous looking tattoo across her chest?

I would do almost anything to see a hot topless woman with no ink.

You cut the cheese (Waynesboro)

I’ll toss your salad

… and Naked in backyard (Va Beach)

Like everyone, I’ve been quite bored. So for a little self entertainment I’ve been wearing revealing shorts while smoking outside during the day …and Naked in backyard at night after around 9/10pm (unless it’s chilly, then I wear just a shirt or hoody). Sometimes my neighbor will chat (6 feet away) if we’re smoking at the same time during the day. Anyone up for some chat only (6 feet away) while I take a smoking break (day or night). I’m an older male, Italian American 5’11 180. Let me know if you’re interested in saying hello. Anyone welcome.

Naked smoke (Va Beach)

You came by to chat while I was smoking naked in my backyard. Will be smoking naked again tonight – wanna come by and chat again?

I didnt

Want to fall. But it ended up happening anyway.

You help me find my hairline (Virginia Beach)

You was the only one who saw me for me you dint judge me for my fucked up hairline I think about you all the time them beautiful brown eyes those curvy thighs girl but you got tired of seeing my hairline so you left me and got new guy with a shape up fuck you and his sharp ass hairline if you see this I miss you unblock me

if only you could… (Richmond)

get over yourself

Deuces asshole

I’m out. Fuck you…coward.

I Will Love You Until The Day I Die.

You’ll find someone at your new job,
if you haven’t already.

I’m not waiting for the lies to start,
Or this heart to be heavy.

Every word in this title I told you today,
A life without you is the price I’ll pay.

Best Always…

-K

Where are all the cute bikers at?

I’m a young female biker who has been in the bike scene over a year. You would think there would be more attractive young bikers out there, but damn, every time I am at the meet up spot or somewhere, its always old men or 6/10 or below looking guys. Is it wrong to want to meet a biker guy who is young and that I find ‘saucy’? Boy is the struggle real.

Blue Volkswagen on I85… (Dinwiddie)

You brought some beautiful scenery to an otherwise mundane drive. Would love to hangout sometime. . .

So I know you’re real, tell me what your dog in the back was wearing.

Sheetz Mask to mask (Colonial Heights)

We talked in line with our masks on! Thought you were hot where did you go in reply

Thanks for the smile (Nuckols Road Area)

You were walking, I was (kinda) running. Just wanted to say thanks for the smile and the wave… don’t see too many of those these days, they are either hidden by a mask or just don’t exist!

Grey T-Shirt/Jeans/Converse Chuck Taylor (Costco)

Blonde lady, looking so HOT (and, comfortable) in your Grey T-Shirt/Jeans/Converse Chuck Taylor’s – it was a pleasure (and, I promise it was happenstance) that we kept bumping into one another, so to speak. Would have loved to have been able to talk, and see you without your mask.

Face Masks are Sexy Lets have some fun (Richmond)

I’ve seen a lot of really sexy female’s wearing face masks and is kinda hot!! would really like to hook up and really give you some attention with your face mask on. I know it sounds weird but who knows. MWM looking for Female partner in crime for fun.

It’s another week of Missed Connections, where every week seems to bring some new outbreak of crazy. Will the coming reopening calm us all down a bit before the inevitable second wave of infections? We shall see, but for this week, things remain a bit… off in the MC world. Your most clear demonstration is what certainly seems to be a recruiting ad for an apocalyptic cult.

But even though that’s really in a class by itself, we’ve got plenty of other entertaining highlights from Craigslist’s most notorious section this week, including a memorable back-and-forth involving drunken ex-husbands with guns, the public breakup of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and all the rooftop smokers and driveway skateboarders your little heart can stand.

One word of warning: “Fix me a sandwich” is never an effective pickup line. This ain’t South Park, dude, and it ain’t your momma’s basement either. But in all seriousness, if you are in need of medical attention for a non-COVID-19 issue, it’s still acceptable to go to the hospital. Put on your mask, hit the emergency room, and get that abscess looked at.

Stay safe out there, Virginia.

Doomsday Cult (Virginia Beach)

What you have seen so far is only just the beginning.

Great change is coming. The veil has been lifted and you have begun to realize what sterile, boring and unfulfilled lives you have lived.

You followed all the rules. You did what you were supposed to do, and what was the reward that you were promised?

I offer a return to what is primal and real. Pleasure and connection to nature.

Join me.

– Apollo

“The plague marked the beginning. People were more willing to dare to do things which they would not previously have admitted to enjoying. People tended much more to think that they might reasonably get some enjoyment out of life.”

– Thucydides, 431 B.C.

Roof tops away (Lombardy Market)

You smoke cigarettes on your fire escape and I watched you hop the ledge to sit on the roof next door. I check my mailbox when I see you in hope of catching your eye. I only have a window. You have a small orange dog you walk with a blue leash. Shooting my shot in the dark.

Fix me a sandwich woman! (fredericksburg)

Ladies, if you’re new to the area, “Fix me a sandwich woman” is considered superior male foreplay here behind the Pine Curtain. Just think of it as a term of endearment.

HMU if you make a mean sandwich.

Help me (Midlothian)

Wm looking for a woman to take my v card

Come back! (Salem)

Hey, come back! I really am divorced. I didn’t know he was gonna show up and specially not drunk. He wouldnt have done nothing to you. I hollared loud enough I think he finally gets it. He won’t be coming round anymore promise! Come back so we can finish what we started. I didn’t even get to play with your jewelry. Your not too old for piercings I like how they look. At least unblock me so I can tezt you and explain. Okay.

Re: Come back (Salem)

Are you freaking kidding me? Your “not husband” had a gun! He would have shot me if I had been a little slower! You’re nuts if you think anything like this is worth getting shot over.

Look, you seem like a nice person, but you need to figure your life out. And you should NOT invite anyone to your place when there’s the very strong possibility of a drunk redneck wandering in with a gun, ex or not.

Thanks for trying to help me, I greatly appreciate it, but I’m out. And don’t worry about my shirt, I don’t need it that bad.

who’s hungry

I’m butt naked and willing to bring you something to eat from where you want. I’ll bring it to your doorstep, house or apartment. Put your restaurant in the title. Female only, and please be able to prove it.

Skater girl

Skater girl, skating in her driveway today. You were near battlefield blvd. You kept looking at me when I passed by. I skate too, let’s kick it sometime..

Thursday’s Life Lesson in Friendship

The good Watson had at that time deserted me…………., the only selfish action I can recall in our association. I was alone.

Re: Thursday’s Life Lesson in Friendship

Maybe Watson grew tired of mind games. Fuck off Sherlock. You had your chance. 

Downtown mall

It’s a ghost town here. There has to be something interesting going on for a decent looking fit guy.

Bored during this social distancing??

Seeing if anyone else wants to email or text during this great social distancing. Age doesn’t matter, well, def at least be over 18. Prefer to talk to females but males are welcome. Tell me what’s been keeping you busy during this time. Did you pick up on any new hobbies? Read any good books? Discover a new show? Or are you doing home renovations or upgrades? Let’s talk!

Side note: If you happen to be one of those essential people, I just want to say thank you for everything that you do and I appreciate everything your doing. Thank you, stay healthy, and stay safe out there!

Goochland hottie? Maybe (Maidens)

I always liked the jeep. Definitely a much cooler ride. I found a pink slip under a bottle today, and note under a door. If cosmic rays combine, will they explode?

The correct answer would be…

Only if they are really hot.

And if its too hot just take a cold bath.

anyone know how to apply gauze and pads to an I and D wound (Roanoke)

I have an abscess wound that I have to shower and replace the gauze and pad but it’s in a place I can’t see…..does anyone really know how to do this and willing to do a “house call” to help me replace the gauze and padding….I will pay you for a visit to do this.

Thanks

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we all know shit happens, and sometimes, farts happen too. There’s no shame in it, either, even if certain passive-aggressive MC posters are dead set on shaming you for it. Let em rip, y’all! It’s still far less lethal than COVID-19.

Beyond all that weirdness, the MCs this week are all about fantasy, from the guy wanting to talk about secret getaways on a private plane that doubtless exists only in his mind to the guy who wants to wear skimpy shorts and smoke a cigarette in front of you… as long as you stand at least six feet away, of course. And then there’s the story about the off-the-grid mountain man who will almost certainly never see the post — but hey, at least all of us get to enjoy it.

From Dollar Tree lovers to side-piece creepers and cult leaders in waiting (you’ll know which post I mean when you get to it), this week’s Missed Connections have got it all.

Dive in, Virginia.

You farted in South point Walmart. I smiled at you (Fredericksburg)

You were a hot blonde pushing 350pounds wearing old holey sweats. We were both in the can soup section and you ripped one right by me. It just about melted my mask off and collapsed everyone’s lungs in that section. You are beautiful. You got about 7 of the big cans of Ravioli and had about 40 pounds of ground beef and onions in your cart. Maybe we can get Arby’s sometime.

how (Richmond)

do you even think this will work out?

… and Naked in backyard (Va Beach)

Like everyone, I’ve been quite bored. So for a little self entertainment I’ve been wearing revealing shorts while smoking outside during the day …and Naked in backyard at night after around 9/10pm (unless it’s chilly, then I wear just a shirt or hoody). Sometimes my neighbor will chat (6 feet away) if we’re smoking at the same time during the day. Anyone up for some chat only (6 feet away) while I take a smoking break (day or night). I’m an older male, Italian American 5’11 180. Let me know if you’re interested in saying hello. Anyone welcome.

Who needs taken (Roanoke)

….away from all of this craziness? Would you just up and leave with a handsome man who offered two weeks in a tropical paradise?a private plane? To keep you from being exposed? Wouldn’t it be amazing to just leave it all behind for two weeks of fun and pleasure???

A man can dream right? Ha. Really though let me hear from your creative ladies where you’d want to go? 

Thought process (richmond, VA)

These quarantine days give pause for thought. The world is trying to weather this virus, everything is uncertain. You ask yourself, Did I do everything I fantasized about? Did I walk on Wild Side? Did I checkout other team? Have You???

The road to Valdez (North Country)

I remember the day I flew in from Drogheda after not seeing you for about a year. The smile on your face and the look in your eyes told me all I needed to know. When we arrived at your cabin that you built with your hands, I was amazed. But not as amazed as were I when you played the song you wrote for me on your guitar, “A Song for Rory”, after an amazing meal of Aloo gobi.
Later in the night after you were soundly sleeping from a tiring day of felling the tallest tree I have ever seen, I had intestinal problems so bad, I thought I was going to die. I prayed for oatmeal the next morning but alas no oats in that neck of the woods. Those sure were good grits you ground by hand though.
Several years have gone by since those wonderful 2 weeks of rock climbing, skinning a mountain lion that you killed with your hands, and camping in your hand made tree house. I was so glad I didn’t have to see you tussle with a bear and the tree house was a relief. I know you wondered what happened to me, but to be honest, I can’t live without a working phone, and especially the internet. I never told you but I have several internet addictions. So………I had to let you go. There was no way of contacting you, except by carrier pigeon and I didn’t have your coordinates.
Now with this pandemic going on, I wish I had stayed there with you cause this lock down bullshit sucks.
Instead I live with regret and a broken heart caused solely by myself.

Sometimes fairy tales aren’t’ meant to have happy endings I guess.

Be well. Goodbye mountain man. Hope the critters are keeping you good company.

Boyfriend kicked you out car McLawhorne 23605

Saw some corny guy kick his female passenger out the car. I offered you a ride.

Tell me what you were wearing; let’s get you out of that toxic situation

Feet (Rva)

I miss the girl with incredible feet and strong personality. I can’t stop thinking about how much I miss being beneath your feet and I’d be more than happy to reward you for your time again.

Side piece application (Hopewell)

Looking for a female 25-45 side piece. Let’s be real I ain’t paying for your time. I’m offering a fun time. Breakfast, lunch , office hang. 420 friendly is a must. Let’s chat get to know each other if it clicks then we will go from there. Tell me about yourself age? Location? Relationship status? Kids? Smoke? Drink? Drugs use? Height? Weight? Favs?

We met walking (Norfolk)

You loved the puppy I was walking, we had a nice conversation but not long enough. Would love to chat again sometime. Reply here with a description of the the puppy or me. If it’s you, we can work on meeting again. 

Met you at OV park

We were both at the play ground you had a puppy, we chated I thought we had a great connection , you live in OV we chatted about the new things happening in OV I would luv to chat again let me know if you think it’s you, what kind of puppy 

Mental Health lol 

I call it external validation dependence and seems like lotsa you selfless vampires are suffering. Good, embrace your faults and fears don’t burry them, accept them and then you may rise above them. They tell you you just need to get out of your own head, I say go deeper, dig that deep hole to you find your real center. Search for those memories and moments that happened to you that started that negative train of thought you get swept away on and remember the you before that train hit. In your normal mind you are full of problem solving potential and possibilitties but you end up confining by defining yourself, sometimes into stagnation.

So there was this bigger girl who got set up on a blind date by one of her friends. She is sitting down and her date arrives. After about 5 minutes he says “I’m sorry, I am not interested” pays for his meal stands up and leaves. She calls her best friend and her best friend tells her “Well you are boring, unnatractive, and you never have anything interesting to say, its obvious why he left.” Would you ever have a friend like that. Well what if I told you that not what her friend said thats what she told herself. No friend would ever treat you this way so why would you ever treat yourself this way. People often tell you to love yourself but I’m gunna tell you how. See there’s gunna be a you here in the near future, a you quite like the you now, but whether that future you is better or worse is up to the you right now. You can cherrish the good times and lement the bad and ride the wave up and down, let the sea carry you. Or, you could stand up, take control, take back your life, turn off the screens, look at your hands and feet, breath, and ask yourself, not what you are wanting but what you want to be. Living in the moment is being, but taking control of your lifes direction, that is becoming.

We are here to rise above what pulls us down!
We are human, we fight gravity and reach for the stars!

Truth (Stafford)

There’s people who say they care about you and there’s people who show they do. Never get them confused. Fuck you

420 friends (Troy)

This lockdown and boredom is driving me crazy! Looking for some people to smoke and ride ATV’s with. I’m a white male in my mid 30’s average body, black hair, blue eyes, 6’0, 180lbs. Please for the love of god no more dick pics! If you want to send a pic of something long and thick it better be of a blunt you just rolled up! Lol

Island weather

A tab tonight brought back memories

To be buried deep tomorrow morning

But tonight I’m by the fire

…

Blonde running (Chester)

You were a thicker blonde in black stretch pants and a pink shirt running yesterday april 29. I was in a big dump type delivery truck with a black dump bed. You ran by stopped behind me I dont know if it’s because you seen me trying to break my neck to see you and seen me looking at you in amazement. You were gorgeous and when you stopped I start putting the truck in park and setting the break to get out and say hello but you had turned and started run again. I thought about you all day and here this morning I am hoping for a little luck that you see this. I was VERY taken by you and cant believe i missed the chance to talk to you. Very stunning young woman, beautiful, gorgeous and one hell of a great smile. Hope you see this and thus was in a neighborhood off forest hill area that I seen you.

Dollar tree broad and gaskins (Richmond)

Inside the dollar tree on broad by gaskins. You were a slim black trans girl. We made eye contact several times. I think I’m in love with you. 

If you’re reading this tell me what you were wearing. Tell me what color my shirt was wearing. I’m serious, single ruggedly handsome white guy.

Soooo if our paths ever cross again… (Rva)

Just know I wanted to ask you out but I was shy! I’m a silly younger woman who adored older women and foolishly I thought I had a chance with you! You had a lot of traits I look for in my vision of a forever love! I wanted you so bad! Take care and I’m finish writing! So hot that you are exactly 20 years older than me! Wow!

Come home Sean (Roanoke)

You know you love me and will never get over me. I’m gonna put another spell on you, and it won’t be a good one this time, if you don’t come home.

Bye baby

Lady trying on shoes outside shoe store in hilltop

I asked you if I could buy your shoes and you said no but you seemed like you could be into that. Just want to let you know you can hit me up if you change your mind I will spoil you with any shoes you want and take you shopping for fun. Would love to let you use me. I am a submissive loser

Dark haired beauty in F150 (Ladysmith pit stop gas station)

Maybe by just some crazy chance you’ll see this. Ran into you this afternoon around 4:30 (Friday May 1st).I caught you looking as you caught me. You are absolutely the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, long dark hair, perfect curves, cute smile. Held the door for you and your perfume hit my nose. Let me know it’s you by telling me what color your truck is. I’d adore the chance to get to know you.

Dot dot dot (Richmond County)

So my father after all these fights will pass soon. He asked about you tonight. So dot dot dot you were thought of I hope all is well and I will always miss my friend reading me the dot dot dot stories…

Reflections (Newport News)

Being a 60 something single white man, sitting at home alone during this virus thing has made me reflect into the past about of the should and could haves..i coulda had a beautiful lady my age to love and be my partner or a younger lady to pamper and spoil or a witch to marry..those are all of the couldas..shouldas?..i shoulda done the All and i would not have been sitting here alone and horny as a porcupine..time too make some changes..if any of the above want to get acquainted..let’s chat..

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where quarantine seems to be eroding some people’s grasp on reality. I mean, I know witches are real, both of the Wiccan and pagan varieties. But if you’re looking to change your age and/or gender, that’s not really how witchcraft works here in the real world. Gender transitions are real and possible through non-magical means [trust me, I’m living proof -ed.], and for that matter, age transitions can happen too… but they take a while, and they only go in one direction.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, what else is going on this week in the most consistently entertaining section of Craigslist? Oh, you know, the usual — essential workers developing crushes on masked co-workers, people willing to risk a deadly disease in order to serve a fancy dinner to strangers, people looking for naughty quarantine pen-pals… OK, so the new normal is a bit odd even in the Missed Connections, but what can you do? Things are a bit out of the ordinary everywhere.

I still can’t understand a nostalgic recollection involving being punched really hard in a delicate area during an intimate activity, though… if that had happened to me, I definitely would have blocked it out.

Stay safe, Virginia.

Roanoke/Salem Witch/Wiccan Age Or Gender Swap (Roanoke, Virginia)

It would be incredible if a Roanoke or Salem Wiccan or Witch had the ability to perform gender or age swaps.

When I was 16

When I was 16, there was a girl in my math class who helped tutor me. She was a little different than most of the other girls I was in class with. She was easy to get along with, but had a really dark sense of humor. One day, we were at her house and we kind of strayed from her tutoring me. Long story short, I was sitting in her chair in her room and she was giving me head. But I noticed she was really interested in my balls. She would make comments about how crazy it was that all of my DNA was in those two balls. I remember looking down at her as she held them in one hand and looked at me and said she was sorry. With a closed fist, she slammed her fist into my balls. I remember the pain immediately shooting to my stomach and I screamed. I can still hear the impact of her fist and the pain and her laugh as I slumped over onto the floor.

I wonder whatever happened to her.

Insta Cart Woman in Carytown (Richmond va)

Probably a long shot. You were a taller woman maybe in your 30-40’s with dirty blonde hair. You were wearing a pinkish long sleeve shirt and a black and white stripped shirt underneath that. You had a black scarf looking material facemask on with some color in it. You were attractive, you caught my eye. You asked if we carried a product for a customer. Reply if you see this

I’d like ladies opinions

What is your opinion of a man having his stuff pierced

Where are all of the good guys? (Charlottesville)

What has happened to all of the good guys? Has the internet changed the way we date? Whatever happened to meeting a nice guy to enjoy a dinner with or a Sunday afternoon at a vineyard or brewery. I’m mature attractive and fun. I have flaws, I have the regular generic baggage. I have a past and I have a future. I enjoy music, live concerts, reading, fashion and having fun. Fun can be staying in or hitting the town. I have a job I enjoy, and I take care of my elderly mother. My day to day life makes my spare time incredibly valuable to me. I have found in life quality is more important than quantity. Everyday is a gift. I’m not looking for Ken or GI Joe. I’m looking for a hard working honest man. A guy who knows how to take care of a lady, one who wants his girl to feel special all the time. A buddy to pal around with and enjoy what our beautiful area has to offer. I prefer blue collars over white collars any day. I want that one special man who will bring me grocery store flowers, just because it’s Tuesday. Are you out there?

Uber (Forest Hill Avenue)

You were my first Uber ride this past Friday (4/25). I just wanted to let you know that I thought you were very handsome. 

Long time no see (Fredericksburg)

That was the first time in four years we’ve acknowledged one another and it was terrifying. I shouldn’t want to reach out because of the person you are/were but I just feel like I want to talk. I’m in a very happy and healthy long term relationship now and you may be too by the looks of it but I want nothing but a conversation. Some sort of twisted closure maybe? I’m not positive.

(mac demarco guitar sounds on car rides, and you thinking it was the funniest thing ever. If you know, you know.)

Feeling depressed

This Corona virus has me feeling down. Looking for friends for conversation. I am open to everyone.

Lets break quarantine and have a Sunday night roast dinner (Roanoke)

I’m making a traditional roast dinner for tonight and don’t want to eat alone….roast, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, wine…..who wants to get naked and within 6′ of each other and have a nice dinner? 60 yo white male here and I’ll do all the cooking.

Tired of being Essential Lets have some fun (Richmond)

With everything going on in the world and still having to be essential and come to work. I was hoping to stir up some conversation with a female that would like to talk maybe more down the road. I’m currently married and just tired of the day to day stress of working and not getting to enjoy a little fun. If your open and bored and wanna talk I’m all ears for something more than the new normal. 

Red BMW-Mech. shopping center

You were riding through a parking lot in Mech. You have a sticker on your car. Good god you were handsome. 

Aldi Robious Road This Afternoon (N. chesterfield)

To the handsome young man in front of me in line this afternoon (1:45 pm), with dark hair and goatee and green shirt and tattoos…our eyes met several times and I was too chicken to chat with you in the parking lot. YES I am interested!!!

Please reply. I have dark hair and beard, blue jacket and grey shorts. 

Quarantining is safe but boring can you spice it up?

I’m a bored male doing my part to stay in the house and out of the way, but this is so boring, I’m looking for a fun confident female to help me spice up these groundhog days that we are in… We can start writing back and forth and see where it takes us… hope to hear from you soon… what else do you have to do? Lol could be fun…

Work together but not sure how to approach

M4M Although we don’t work in the same area, we work for the same place. I’m totally attracted to him and have been since we met. It’s everything about him, no just looks, not just conversation, but everything. We text off and on and I try to drop some hints but I fail each time because I am afraid to put too much out there. We both like similar things and we have been out to eat a couple times during work. We have some really good work friends in common also. Today, I mentioned something specific about home and to my surprise, he felt the same way about his home life. He is kind and we always have good conversation, although sometimes it is short. He wears Carhart stuff which I find sexy because it sort of defines masculinity. He looks great when he has a goatee/beard, and looks grat without one. What makes this more complicated is I am in management and he is not. I just feel such a connection and I have no clue what to do. I even get speech stupid when he is near, and get goofy to an extent, but only because I am nervous. Well, guess this is as good a place as any to get this off my chest. D to A I dig you. 

If I could’ve gone back in time? (Rva)

The very first moment I met you I would’ve ask you out! I was shy but something about you made my whole body come alive. Every shared space, I kept feeling hot and bothered! This quarantine has taught me just to embrace life and not be intimidated. If everyone could be bold and ask someone out the first time meeting, there would be no need for missed connections! I apologize for anything I’ve done to disrespect or hurt your feelings in the past! It just all the times I saw you, I just wanted to tell you that I was attracted to you and I liked you! Take care and if someone has claimed you for their own then they are blessed to have someone as special as you in their life! But… If you ever become single again I want a date with your fine azz! Yes I do!
