Christmas is coming, and we all need someone to cuddle up to, so if you’re lonely this holiday season, maybe you can find a boo in this week’s Missed Connections.

This week we’ve got a lot of late-night hangout spots representing, from hipster hot spots like Bandito’s and 3rd Street Diner to the traditional points of wee-hours commerce like Walmart and 7-11. We also learn the somewhat disturbing fact that people will still be checking you out even if you’re having a seizure.

We also see a great attraction for people with blue hair, so grab the Manic Panic and dive in.

Heels in this weather (Short Pump)

While enjoying a coffee near the big tree I saw the prettiest brunette walk by with some nice open heels on this rainy day. Your toes were a nice holiday shade. I would enjoy making sure they stay warm as needed. You looked marvelous from head to toe.

Wal-Mart (ShortPump)

I doubt you will see this but I have to try. We spoke at Wal-Mart a few days ago. I regret not introducing myself and getting your name. I was looking for a gift for my Mother and you were looking to get your kids something. If you see this by some Christmas miracle and are interested please message me and tell me what we were looking at. Hint….you were taking pics of said item(s).

Today I Met… (Norfolk)

Today i met the messenger of God. He was selling M & M’s on the Tide.

Blue haired girl (Short Pump)

This is my second time seeing you as you came into my shop. you alway smell good if you know what I mean an I wanna kick it with you. hopefully you see this, I’m sure by your looks you can’t be single but just wanna kick it. hopefully this finds you. to prove its you tell me what you ordered

You fixed my collar (Chester)

You fixed my collar this afternoon, can you tell me where we were? I’d like to fix a little something on you

short blue hair (JCC)

You and I locked eyes as you were leaving and I was working/walking in and we both complimented each other’s hair. I don’t know how you identify but let me find out and then take you out.

You Looked Sexy (Norfolk)

You looked sexy even though you were having a seizure. It was in the hair care section of the Ghent Walgreens. I was the guy in the blue shirt holding your legs while that old man put his wallet in your mouth. Let’s get together when you’re feeling a little less woozy.

Kroger Tuesday 12/11 (Short Pump)

Tuesday night, you were with a friend, possibly boyfriend. We made eye contact and you left him and found me in an aisle. We both lingered there just looking, clearly not really looking for anything in particular. Was afraid to say anything.

Let me know what was on my hoodie

3rd Street Dinner (Richmond)

Was in yesterday morning with some coworkers. You were the girl with glasses that waited on us. I know you probably wont see this but I thought you were hot wish I could see you again. Hit me up if your interested

Tickle me to death

Dude tickle me crazy, mostly on my feet, wish you’d gotten more. It was 3 years ago we were at embassy suites

7/11 Saunders and 17 (Hampton)

I come in quite often, we speak a lot and I make it a point to come in when your working. Me- Male, tattoos. You- white female, nose ring.

You asked me when the last time I went to the gym because I was looking soft lmao!!!

Reply back with someone about me.

Love is evil (STAFFORD)

It has been 2 weeks and on that day I turned off my emotions. No more feelings, no more love, I dont want it, feel it or use it. Of course I will show love for my family & friends. But never again for a guy. You know that heartbreak leads to so many things even death. I actually feel great this new me. Not giving a fuck…. Even went back to this one person and it….was….amazing…. All of my anger, sadness, went away like that. The snap from thanos. Yes I may have turned into a heartless cold person but I have excepted that love is evil and I DONT WANT IT!!

food lion (goochland)

saw you in the isles and you had a great smile . saw you again at register and stared because you resemble matt lauer so much . didn’t see you outside or would have told you that . me with the skull cap on, with the name of a country I have visited. that and other factors if you read this and would like to contact me . please do

Cute cheese lover at fresh to frozen (Midlothain turnpike)

Dec 12th about 6pm. Chatted in cheese section briefly. You…handsome, tall guy with great smile and excellent culinary taste…who loves a bargain;)

PA Paige (Devil’s Triangle)

We met on snow day Sunday at Banditos then went to Sheppard st. I ran off to a show before realizing I don’t know how to get in touch with you.

Big Lots, Lots and Lots (Hampton)

You were wearing black suede knee high boots, pushing a carriage. Your hair looked freshly cut into a bob, very short in back getting longer to the front, very lovely girl in the Christmas decoration area at the back of the store. It seemed to me there was an unspoken attraction, a magnetism between us. Am I correct? Is so, let me know. Tell me your hair color and well take a step.

Looking for Kirkland, Pam’s son (West End)

Hello, I really enjoyed the tattoo conversation. Loved your accent not sure from where. Appreciate you getting my order fixed. Eggs over medium is always hard to get done right. Would love to have further convo with you.

Hardee’s & Food Lion (Stuarts Draft)

Brunette, petite, smiles a lot.

You work at both Food Lion and Hardee’s. My friend and I have come through the drive-thru a couple times lately.

I made a comment about something you needed tonight. If you see this and you’re interested let me know what I said you needed.

It’s been a messy couple of days out there on the streets, Richmond — and if at any point you shared a laugh with an intriguing stranger over how poorly everyone else was driving, this week’s Missed Connections might be for you.

Those of you who are good samaritans shoveling people’s cars out of the snow might also find you’ve picked up a secret admirer. And if you’ve been dressing to kill at the local jazz clubs lately, or going around offering people money to punch your friend in the face… believe me, people have noticed. Getting your car towed always sucks, though, so chase your blues away with a romp through this week’s Missed Connections.

My little elf helper in Forest Hill (Forest Hill)

I saw the nicest young man shoveling show on a street today, and he was dressed as an elf! What a nice thing to do – and boy were you cute!

Not sure which way you swing but this old Santa would like a lick on that candy cane… hope to see this good little elf helping out again! You can always sit on my lap for your Christmas wish 😉

Laughing at cars sliding around on the hill

People are idiots, I’m glad we agree, lol. It was a hysterical conversation we had. Wish it had been longer. Two cars in your garage, so I made my assumptions.

If I was incorrect about your status, please connect. Tell me your name.

Cute girl in TCC VAC class

You offered me $20 to punch your friend in the face. You were fine as hell and I thought about it the rest of the day. I should have got your number. Hit me up if you see this.

Burger King

Very nice hot ass girl behind the counter at the burger King on Broad street. You were a little firecracker talking to your co worker when I walked in. When you turned around to get the food I got to see that fine ass of yours! Damn fine. I was the guy with the beard and the flannel jacket. You made my day.

Pregnant in suv (Food lion/ mill creek)

We cought each other’s eye at the stop light, I saw you rubbing your baby bump! You looked amazing. Then the light changes and we looked at each other as we pulled away smoky and waving…. I wanna talk to you! I have a very specific vehicle… tell me what it was… I hope you see this and feel the same….

Missing My Queen! (RICHMOND)

My Queen has moved away and I am in need of a replacement to worship. I am 58, WM, professional, solid build.

If you are new or experienced, I am good either way. Alpha females are encouraged to respond.

towed car (monument ave)

Your car was towed today. You took my number but didn’t text me tonight. You should reach out

male tailor measurements for men (charlottesville)

You needed me to come by your house to take your measurements for a made to order suit. As I was getting your measurements of your inseam you sure seemed to be enjoying the experience but didn’t want to be inappropriate. Let me know if you need me to come back and finish the job.

Shopping cart (Grandview Nature Preserve)

Accompanied by your small black-ish dog (sorry, I don’t know breeds worth a damn), you were picking up driftwood and/or shells for what I imagine is some art project; I was walking the beach while attempting to play Pokemon Go for the first time ever. I made the comment about the fact that you could use a shopping cart, and then when I saw you again you reintroduced the shopping cart line. The suave thing (and typical thing for me to do) would have been to at least offer to carry some of it for you back to the car; unfortunately, at that exact moment, what I was really waiting on was for you to go *away* so I could disappear into the marsh and release a bladder that simply was not going to wait much longer. Of course, by the time I got on the right path again, you were long gone.

I don’t know that you or I are interested or even emotionally available for a relationship, but I did enjoy our brief flirtation.

Northside Park blonde and hubby (Norfolk)

Hey…that was hot!!! The both of you are big time turn ons.

Im hoping to see yall again.

Let me know what kind of vehicle yall were in.

Blonde in Red Saturday Night (Vagabond Richmond)

It was Saturday evening downstairs at the Vagabond. You were already there when we sat down across the room. I was wearing the camo hat (took it off at the table, of course). You were wearing the hell out of that red dress at the table with your four friends.

I can approach anyone, any time but I couldn’t even breathe when I looked at you. It has been 9 hours and you still have me rattled.

I have to see you again.

If it’s you, tell me what color jacket you were wearing.

3 ladys having good time at food court 2 days ago (chesterfield town center)

33 of yall having fun and my buddy yelled at you. If you wanna hang out and meet eachother I will be working on my diesel trucks at home with some good ol boys id like it for youll to stop by. Its in Chesterfield. Im single getting ready to start my life career in a month and would love to date.

Hey there, lonely people… are the holiday blues getting you down? Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? Well maybe this week, missed connections is the right place for you.

This will be especially true if you’re a manager at a pizza place, or someone who’d proudly call yourself a redneck. And if you want to meet the man you could’ve been, well… you just might be in luck there, too. Just try not to overuse the exclamation point key too much.

Are you a manager? (Grimaldi’s)

What a beautiful guy. My cheese pizza was “overstretched” lol but you can slice my pizza any day. Hit me up.

To the man…

…I could have been.

I’m too far gone to change now. All the wrong choices along the way, all the epiphanies that came much too late. All the attempts that were made to do better that never found roots.

It doesn’t matter now. Coasting to the finish; full of regret, rage and internalized self loathing.

Sometimes it’s best to accept you are the villain in your own story.

Cute shoes

There’s probably no chance that you will ever see this and it’s probably inappropriate, but…I said that I like your shoes and that I very well may have a foot thing. We both laughed about it. I want you to know that I think you are gorgeous and wish I could see your sexy feet and more.

You broke my heart (NN)

You broke my heart when we broke up! I thought it was due to me being broke! What broke the bond was my refusal to “have a sleepover” with you and your BFF! I’ve changed my mind, please take me back! I’ll “hang out” with you both for now! Or if you’ve found another bloke, the news of that would make me choke! Let’s get together, talk it out, I’d be glad to buy you a Coke, or have a smoke, or take a toke, or we could even sail my boat! Just make me smile, say yes for a while, oh baby when I say to you, that I’d be glad to make you 2, if not then I will be so blue, but I will find a love anew. She may not have a friend like yours, and if that were true life would be a bore. But we would have to face the facts, and just go home and do it!

pool n darts (Richmond)

you were playin meat puppets and of montreal while playing pool/darts. seemed like your tinder date wasnt going so well. would like to hang sometime. u rock

Redneck in white Chevy at 7-11 (south Stafford)

You were leaving as I came in you nodded to me. I’d like to check out your truck and see what’s under the hood and check that big thing out.

lonely girl

I get off at 6

wanna hang out

xooxoo

Missing you Christina (Hopewell)

I miss you. The times we spent listening to music and talking about deep, deep stuff. I’m sorry of how everything went, I was scared of falling for anyone that soon after my divorce. I know I hurt you, and I didn’t mean to. Every time I go to mun cheese I think of you. Or when I listen to pink floyd

I saw you looking

If you ever want to chat or get together, let me know. I saw you sitting on your front porch indian style like you do every day smoking a cigarette. It was early in the morning and I was wearing my shorts and a t shirt and I was adjusting the good ole morning erec… while standing on my porch. I saw you looking through the cars. If you liked it lets talk.

I spanked you – prior military M4M (Stafford)

We met about a year ago, you answered my ad about spanking. I came to your house in Spotsylvania. You prior military guy, str8 but with kinky side. Similar here. Had great time, up for a repeat. Hope to hear from you.

Is there anything more alluring than the thrill of traveling: the precipice of stepping into the unknown, the enchantment of far away lands, the freedom of an open road? Or just having some stranger at an airport of a roadside rest stop eyeball you up and down like a travel-sized toothpaste? Well, if that’s your bag, then this week’s Missed Connections are right there with you.

From saucy domestic flights with mustachio’d men, road-side encounters at rest-stops, and dashing encounters at a highway Cracker Barrel, there is a little something in here for every discerning adult looking for love.

As Shakespeare once said, “Speak low if you speak love.” Get amongst it, Richmond.

Cute Blonde in the Green Shirt: Michael’s on Midlo Tnpk

I commented on one of your tattoos, would love to have a cuppa with you. Interested? Reply with the tattoo I commented on.

Cracker Barrel – 10/7, 6:30 pm, patron, W, 65+ (Mayland Ct) 

You were consuming your pancakes and we engaged in conversation twice.

Once, about a childhood game of yours displayed on the wall. Another, about your prior days of competitive athleticism. 

The staff said you’ve been frequenting that establishment for many years, and they all appeared to know you.

In the end, I really enjoyed your conversation about various things of yesteryear.

I wouldn’t mind chatting again sometime?

Walking a little Black Puppy: Church Hill 

You were [walking] your puppy, I was looking for my pets. Just want to tell you, thank you for looking with me. I did find them, they were in the basement on the pool table, they never come in the house, weird. But thank you

Old Dominion Concert: Innsbrook

You were the tall blonde with glasses and (I think white shorts). We stared at each other every time we walked by (tall guy).

My friend got sick right as I was about to come over and say hi.

Maybe send me a pic or your name and i’ll find you on FB?

La to Dulles to Richmond / Mustache Man

you – young guy with a mustache that came from LAX to Dulles then to Richmond. we made eyes a couple times on the flight to Dulles. i was thrilled to see you on my flight to Richmond. you were wearing a maroon shirt and were really cute. 

me – young brunette in a multicolored sweatshirt that smiled at you 

if you’re my mustached man – what item were you carrying on the flight to Richmond?

Rest Stop 95S to 85S: Rest Stop Fredericksburg 

I saw you at a rest stop on 95S near Fredericksburg. We made eyes. I followed you back onto 95S, we weaved our way through Richmond and then onto 85S. Totally road flirting! You pulled off into a rest stop I didn’t see and missed. 

I was driving a beautiful gray Jeep with a Capitals decal on the back. My hair is strawberry blonde.

Flight from Chicago to Richmond 

We sat next to each other waiting on our flight from Chicago to Richmond, love your smile, you caught me few time[s] looking at this beautiful face. Wish I can see you again!
