Best Of VA Missed Connections May 15 – May 21

|

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

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

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

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

Get out there, Virginia.

My daughter’s roommate

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

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

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

Bygones (Cary Town)

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

The guy who complimented my toes (Wawa brook rd)

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

See you on Grove Ave. in the Fan

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

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

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

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

TRAVIS (FOOD LION) (1100 COURT HOUSE RD)

TRAVIS,

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

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

TOM,

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

Cute Guy at Stony Point (Richmond, VA)

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

Upset gamer chic 🙁 (Carrollton)

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

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

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

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

Walmart short pump

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

Dahlgren Walmart (Dahlgren)

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

Lowe’s Broad St

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

Lowe’s Mechanicsville (Rt 360)

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

Lowes returns (Short pump)

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

Home Depot Lady (West Broad)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Attractive Blonde at the Boathouse (Midlothian)

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

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

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

If my brain could slap my heart

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

Christina I miss… (Richmond)

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

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

J

Older man with wife at the park (Richmond)

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

Tits out (Pump house park)

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

Topics: , , , , ,

The first warm weekend of the year happened only days ago, so of course the Missed Connections are heating up along with the weather. This is definitely the week for redheads, too, so if you’re a carrot top, keep an eye out — your Craigslist Prince Charming just might be looking for you.

We’ve also got a run on sweatpants this time around, which is always interesting. No one wears their best clothes to the laundromat, so if you’re getting hollered at while you’re separating your lights and darks, you must really have it going on.

But we’ve gotta tell ya — asking for two spoons when one of the only things you know about the person you’re trying to charm is that they don’t share ice cream probably won’t work out all that well. But that’s all right, just get out on the dance floor and shake your thing. If you’ve got the moves, you’re sure to find a partner in the Missed Connections this week.

Go with your gut, Virginia.

main street station dancing

YOU were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Your date looked to be at least 75 years older than you though. But could dance like a boss. You kept up well. Interesting combo- it had me jealous. He’s my hero! I would have had a massive coronary if you danced with me now, much less in 50 years when I’m his age!! 🙂

My gut (Tuckahoe)

Gut says something isn’t on the up and up.

To many things don’t make sense.

Brandermill gas station

I was rushing. You were a gentleman with beautiful eyes. Smoking is bad!

Redhead from Nashville (Innsbrook)

It was great meeting you today. Good luck in your apartment hunt. I’d really like to see you again sometime when you’re all moved in.

Redhead behind wawa (Courthouse road)

I met you last year behind the wawa on Courthouse rd. I was in my car and you needed to use my phone. You are gorgeous and I was always hoping you’d reach out to me. Tell me why thou had to use my phone ave I’ll know it’s you. I really hope you see this.

Hoping for Red (Bon Air)

Miss your curly red locks, that smile and laughter and the way you cared. We had a thing as I was in the midst of a divorce. Get your ducks in a row, you said. Then you dropped me with an email and no chance to talk. Would’ve done anything for you, gone anywhere with you. Coulda been a comfortable life for you with all the affection you could stand. I still think of you every day and wonder if you do the same. Would love to share a bagel and coffee.

McDonald’s drive thru-red head (Lovingston)

Just went thru there and you are very cute! I’ve noticed you before. Next time I’m going to have to flirt harder :p

Little Mexico (VCU)

You’re a hostess there, usually wearing glasses with your hair pulled back. I see you a lot and I usually get a little tongue tied when I talk to you.

You are incredibly beautiful.

Black haired girl who works for Starbucks (Hai Y’all)

Hey, I met you that night last year when we had that huge snowstorm in late December. I was out with my roommate and her girlfriend. We talked for a while, and I got your number, but I was pretty drunk and I think I put it in my phone wrong. I know this is a shot in the dark, but it’s worth a try, I think. I’d like to see you again.

Gray sweat/yoga pants at laundromat

The most soul shocking rear end on a white girl I have ever seen. Absolute perfection and looks like the most fun anyone could ever have. Couldn’t see your face but you look like the girl who works at the market right beside. Never expect you to see or respond but wow.

chemistry (vcu)

I saw you checking me out today, I’d love for you to see what’s in these sweatpants.

Yoga pants (Deep run)

I’m looking for the woman in yoga pants; I’m just letting you know I’ll be at the park Friday morning. I’m the guy in sweatpants and no underwear. Respond back if this was you….

Beautiful Lady at the NEX (Norfolk)

So, there I was minding my own business picking up a few things to stock the bar with, when… WOW! You made my heart skip a beat with just one devilish look and a little smile.

You strolled by me in the wine aisle in your yoga pants and sweatshirt, with your beautiful brunette hair gently swaying side to side. I am pretty damn sure you caught me checking you out, as you glanced over your shoulder at me and gave that devilish look and smile that I absolutely have not been able to get out of my head all weekend. Needless to say I spent the weekend kicking myself for not saying hello and chatting with you a bit.

I know that this definitely isn’t the same Craiglist as it once used to be… but here’s hoping that perhaps we can connect here. If you are that lovely lady that made my trip to the NEX so enchanting.

guy from ihop (near vcu)

you pushed up against me while trying to open the door for me and i could tell you wanted me to feel something. if this was you message me the color of shirt you were wearing or what your shorts wanted me to feel haha

Male with Genuine swag & Charm (Spotsylvania)

Still looking for that guy with charm, whose funny and sincere. I kno he’s out there, let’s relax together and see what life has in store.

Stop light at Pole Green and Shady Grove (Mechanicsville)

well.. I remember u had burnette hair and a beautiful smile.you looked to be between 25 and 30 maybe. you caught me staring at you and youn&ysmiled and waved. it was exactly 7pm on Monday the 18th. I wanted to roll my window down and speak to you but your light turned green and then you were gone. I doubt this post will find you.. but its worth a shot.🤷‍♂️

JALEN? at Kroger or people who know him (9375 Atlee Rd)

larger black guy at kroger (I’m terrible with names, so sorry) working with the food…sandwiches, pizza, fried/baked chicken etc… you checking me out or no? if you know this guy SHOW HIM THIS POST!

Hilton Ice cream spoons (Hilton North Suffolk)

It was late night we were closing down the bar and you wanted ice cream. I offered you to spoons but you said you didn’t share ice cream! I don’t know if it was a true connection or not but I figured if it was meant to be, then you would find this and maybe share your ice cream tomorrow night with me!

Afton friend that had work schedule changed (Afton – Parkway)

Have been thinking of you and miss helping you out with your daily stress of family and life. I still visit the mountain on occasion in the morning but haven’t seen you. The last time we met you enjoyed the outfit I had recently bought. Hope to reconnect and catch up.

Looking for Cristina (Richmond)

I miss the good times we use to have. Sorry things went south, some things we can’t control.

Would love to see your smiling face again.

Last I heard you were in mechanicsville.

Would love to catch up.

J

Ollie’s in Hampton

I came up to you Saturday 3/23 in the morning and said you were really handsome. I can’t get you out of my head. Also. I wish I wasn’t such a chicken shit and just asked for your number. I was wearing a black shirt and jeans with my coat draped over my arm. Glasses with hair pulled back in a ponytail. Describe yourself so I know it’s you 😉

Pink Tutu (Wawa FC)

You always dress so sexy and beautiful!! Today was no different!! That pink tutu looked amazing!! I see at least 2-3 times a week at the Wawa. I always smile at you!! I love your heels as well!! Thanks for making me smile in the mornings

Winter is taking its sweet time about drawing to a close, and from the look of this week’s Missed Connections, the times are hard out there. We all know about people who come to this section looking for companionship, but when you have to hit Craigslist just to ask for somewhere to take a shower, well… things are getting pretty desperate.

Thankfully, you just might find a good samaritan out here, someone willing to help a stranger get their car out of a ditch. Alternately, if you’re a goth college student who’s open to a May-December kind of thing, or if you haven’t seen your insulin since that wild night at the bar and are getting kind of desperate, read on — someone just might be looking for you.

Sing out, Virginia.

Anyone free to let me use there shower today (Midlothian)

I know this might be a hard to find.. but my hot water is not working today.. and I have a meeting this afternoon

Anyone nice enough to let me use there shower/ must be nice and hot and clean shower. I’m a nice white guy mid30’s

No games here!! Email me ASAP!!

Oh, you looked amazing!

We almost made it to introductions last week! 🙂 (battery park)

You and your dog were out enjoying the sun and I walked up to introduce myself (with my dog). You came forward and I smiled back at you and said something, then animals and children went wild! So I continued on so that you could calm everyone down.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Cute young guy at Wendys

You were at Wendys restaurant on Brook rd at 2:30 on thursday. You were the cute twink wearing sweatpants and a jacket, I was the older guy in line behind you. I wish I had spoken to you, but I didnt, now I’m kicking myself.

Dellingers Tire Service (Chesapeake, Va)

We were both at Dellingers yesterday Sunday afternoon, we spoke a little and you were very friendly and I would love the chance to meet up with you again. If you think it’s you tell me what place you recommend I go to while waiting on my car.

Shift change (VCU)

Omg shift change… thought I was in heaven for a second ..

We help a guy out of a ditch (Gordonsville)

You stopped to help a man get his car out of a ditch. I was already there trying to help. Afterwards we talked briefly but I never asked your name and I really wanted your number. It was a really quick exchange but I thought you were beautiful and would love to hear from you if you ever see this. It’s worth a shot? You told me your profession so reply with what your job is so I know you.

Anne Marie (sp?) VA Wine Expo (Main Street Station)

I was working, you came to my booth with some friends to try wine. You introduced yourself and asked my name. I said you should stop back by later, but I never saw you and I couldn’t find you when I took a break. Prettt sure the attraction was mutual. Long shot, but if you see this, what was my name and/or what company was I working for?

Beaver Dam Creek Park

I asked you about the trails. Wanted to talk more, I’m interested.

Fellow BMW driver (Newport News)

To the fellow bmw hot lovely lady who threw me a old charging cord as I was in middle of road struggling with the trunk,, THANK YOU!!!

Man of my dreams

Be real with me. No games, no side chicks or services. If you say you love me, mean it, in all your actions. I deserve the kind of love I give, honest and unconditional. I have your back. If you’re a player, move on, you don’t deserve me.

Goth Girl (Fan near VCU)

I’m looking for the Goth girl I saw near VCU. I loved your makeup and fishnets.

I’m a totally preppy looking guy, but I would love to meet.

I’m older and was down working on one of my rental properties near VCU. Hope age doesn’t matter because you were amazing.  

You Held the Door for me at Crunch (Crunch Glenside)

I saw you running on the treadmill and had a hard time keep my eyes off you. We happened to be leaving at the same time and you held the door for me. You had on black leggings and a blue shirt and said “time to go home” as an alarm went off on your phone and I wish I had asked to go with you but didn’t. This is a shot in he dark but if you read this and are interested in getting together send me a reply. I’ll be at crunch every morning hoping to see you again 😊

I found your insulin (Happy Endings Bar)

We met Friday 3/1 at Happy Endings. I gave you a ride home at closing time. I found your insulin in my car this morning. If I don’t hear from you I’ll give it to the bartender once they open.

Steve (Richmond, VA)

You’re very handsome

Would love to see your cables

New ya bridge isn’t very far away

Pink hair, Nissan Versa (Colonial Heights)

Hey, missed a connection with a sexy woman with pink hair driving a Nissan Versa at Cookout in Colonial Heights. I must say you are sexy as hell with a perfect body for me. I missed you, but you where in line and didn’t get an order of fries for your order. If you see this contact me back. I think we could have some fun! By the way, I really liked your assets! I can’t stop thinking about them! Tonight was February 27, 2019, around 6pm.

So why are you attracted to older men?

Wondering if younger women are genuinely attracted to older men or are just in search of a sugar daddy.

Handsome Police Officer (Hampton)

I think you were technically a trooper..we were side by side at a stop light. I am black, long wavy hair, big brown eyes, black low cut dress..You were maybe 45ish white..bald…looked very tall. You kept looking at me and I noticed. I wanted to say something but all I could do was smile back at you..You’re very handsome..I wish youd asked me out I wouldve said yes!

Lightening bolts (Mechanicsville)

I see you often. White male with bolts of lightening tats. You are so fine and I wondered if you are available. Or if you are looking for a woman rn.

A painting (Richmond)

Did you leave a small painting for me? Where I used to be? We haven’t exchanged messages in a matter of months. A year will be soon.

Trading spouses isn’t just for mediocre reality TV anymore! Now it’s found a new home — in this week’s Missed Connections.

But you don’t have to be already-married to find romance here, though it will help if you like to wear open-toed high heels in the winter (which sounds crazy, but hey, whatever floats your boat). You might also find love this week if you’re a fan of hitting the gym when it’s quiet around the holidays, or if you’re making some extra cash driving for Uber Eats. So before you open that app for another day on the slushy streets of Richmond, take a dip into the Missed Connections.

Lowe’s near costco. (Lowe’s on broad)

On Saturday I was in Lowe’s and your husband offered to trade you to me as a joke. It was funny but you even said I’m sure his wife wouldn’t approve of that. Well typically you might be right but I do have an open relationship as we are swingers so perhaps this could work.

I found you very attractive and I feel you thought the same based on some of the smiles we exchanged.

I realize you likely won’t see this but I am definitely interested. Let me know what your husband wanted to trade for you so I know it’s you.

Dillards (Short Pump)

Lady’s in heels are my weakness, and every time I have seen you, you have on open toe heels and look great. You are an associate, not gonna say which dept. I think you have noticed me, maybe even caught me steeling glances as I walk pass with my coffee in my hand. I really like a woman that wears open heels this time of year, tells me she likes to get attention to her feet. Hope by some chance you find this, I will be in again, part of my walking schedule. I can tell you the color of your toes.

Love’s Truck Stop Exit 15 Thurs Gray Beard Trucker (South Hill)

I paid for my food and looked over my shoulder to see where you went and you were staring right at me, it caught me off guard so I looked away, I seen you leaving the fuel desk so assume you’re a truck driver and hopefully a local?

You had a full gray beard, Wranglers, gray sweat shirt, no coat, ball cap and were about 6’2″ 285 lbs? Thurs night a little after 11pm. You made my day and hope to run into you again.

If you reply tell me what I was wearing and where you seen me in the truck stop so I know its really you.

purple hair at kroger (Chesterfield, near Chippenham)

Bumped into you in the coffee aisle. We had a simple chat while I admired you. Would like to talk again. Describe what we bought.

Uber eats driver (Fredericksburg)

You delivered ihop to me. You were with your son in matching sweaters. You were so fucking adorable. Most guys would have stared at my tits the entire time, but you bashfully looked away. I hope you see this as I would love to show them to you.

THE DOLLER STORE ON LITTJE GREEK (NORFOLK)

TO DAY I CAN DO I CAN MEET THE YOUNG PIPE CLEANER AT THE DOLLER STOREPARKING LOT IF YOU WANT

Fern – pho (Pho-79)

Enjoyed talking to you over your messy noodle eating.

Might seem an unlikely friendship, but I’d enjoy maybe sitting down and eating some “Fa” again.

Have a great trip, hope to hear from you.

Anytime fitness (Fredericksburg)

We’ve seen each other in passing and one day we talked briefly as I was leaving and you were getting ready to start your workout. We talked about how it sucks when the gym is crowded and we both like it when it’s empty, it was right before xmas and laughed about our excitement of the gym being empty during holiday time and how we’d take advantage… You’ve been on my mind ever since, I’d like to get to know you, maybe go out sometime? Msg with who normally joins you at the gym so I know it’s you if you’re interested.

I still love you (Town center)

Young military guy here. We met over a year ago and I’ve never gotten you out of my my mind or heart. You were older but very attractive. You were working at the Hilton at the oceanfront last time we talked. We can make it work now if you’re interested.

Strawbridge breakfast drivethru

Blonde woman in front of me. You paid for my breakfast this morning. That was very nice. I thought you were attractive and would like to reciprocate. I remember what you were driving.

Tailgate (Va beach)

We met on the tailgate of my truck. We had a common bond that brought us together. We had visions of being together forever but we drifted apart. We came from different worlds , but we were so much alike. I’ve often wondered what could have been and I’ve thought about where it went wrong. I’m a male in search of a certain lady.

Long Johns laburnam (Henrico)

I was in last Friday evening. I saw you waking aroundbehind the counter and something caught my attention. I think you saw me looking and got shy. You are hot. If you know who I am reply to this please. Id like to meet you.

My Desi Friend.. (Ruckersville)

To the really nice, sweet, cute mature Desi woman who shows me sooo much attention I’m wondering if you’re actually interested?

I come into your store everyday and we hold a conversation about life we agree on alot you give me butterflies when I see you..

Looking For An Old Friend (Ocean View (Norfolk))

HI,

Looking for an old friend named Paulette in Ocean View (Norfolk). She had a son named Scotty that attended Grandby High with my daughters. I used to work in Beach Bay Grocery on First View and met her there. I moved away to NY and we lost touch. I am back in Va now and would like to see her again. If anyone knows her or knows her last name (I forgot it) please let her know I am looking for her or let me know how I can find her. My name is Karen.

Thanks!

We met briefly in April (Colonial Heights)

long shot here..

You were a dispatcher. We met at walmart in Colonial Heights while you were working on a project. This was back in April, I left the area shortly after rather abruptly. I’m back now and have lost all your contact info. We got along great and I’d like to connect again.

Hopefully you see this and message me.

Tell me your name and what other store we went to!

Beautiful Blonde in Food Lion / Hampton (Bethel and Hampton Roads Parkway)

You are beautiful with your long blonde hair curling at the ends. We were in the cold foods area when I spoke to you. I looked for you but could not find you, then when I was pulling out we made eye contact. I must see you again! I want to know everything about you. I know that we could make some magic in each other’s lives. Save my life, restore my faith, complete me!

Looking for a submariner Michael (Norfolk)

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for someone I knew back in 2010 in the Ocean View area. He was a young submariner named Michael. I can’t for the life of me remember his last name. He would now be in his late 20s to mid 30s with brunette hair. Slim stature. He had an older red Chevy Blazer and a maroon Hyundai Elantra at that time. Any help would be great! My name is Tara.

So this is the new year; I don’t feel any different. And neither do the Missed Connections — they just keep rolling along for another year, giving us intriguing windows into the lives of strangers (some of whom are pretty weird).

That said, if you’re looking to reconnect with the handsome stranger who caught your eye at the convenience store last week, Missed Connections might just be the place for you. And if you like to walk your dog in your pajamas, this week might also contain a message for you. Just be careful what songs you play on New Year’s Day… (we recommend Death Cab For Cutie).

A girl, her dog, and her PJs

When I walked my bike down to the juice bar, I must admit that I had no interest in getting a drink. Anyone else could’ve spent an hour considering every article of clothing in their closet and not put together an ensemble as great as what you’d tossed on to walk your dog around the block. While the space between your coat and your jammies diverted my course, your smile led me here.

If I hadn’t been struck dumb in the moment, I would’ve asked you and your pal to get a coffee with me. Next chilly morning (meaning sometime soon), let’s do that.

Protip: (Hell, VA)

Don’t listen to Counting Crows ‘A Long December’ at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. You’re welcome.

I kept bumping into you at Target Saturday (Libbie Place)

You had on sweats and a bandanna, with a white mustache and the most captivating blue eyes. I kept crossing your path, once almost running into you, and you politely gave way to me.

I felt very attracted to you and wonder if you felt the same thing. If you did, we should probably get together some time and find out what that’s all about. I’m not necessarily looking for a sexual thing. Just connecting as friends would be amazing. 

goddess at the 7/11 (7/11 on laburnum in northside)

Friday night, late, I walked in and saw you, you started goin in on how much you loved my hair. I tried to see where you were going, can’t believe I didn’t get your name and number. Can’t stop thinking about it, would kill to see you again… I’m the tall white guy with long hair. Doubt you’ll see this, but a guy can dream can’t he? Lol.

Hope to see you again

A couple of weeks ago I was at Soap n Suds in Hampton on Mercury Blvd across from Wawa. A beautiful young lady waiting on her laundry asked to sit with me. Me being the shy (stupid) guy that I am let her leave without asking for her number I really wish I’d have gotten it…

So you will know if you are the one I’m talking about, The Price is Right was on, I asked you about your iPhone battery life cause mine kept dying and you working on something on your laptop.

The cutie that asked for strawberry wine help (Total Wine West broad)

I wish I could have helped you more… 😉 Let me know how the peach was if you happen to see this..

Happy holidays

Texas Roadhouse Saturday 12/15 (Glen Allen)

We made eye contact multiple times at the texas roadhouse near vcc Saturday during dinner. We were in separate parties but in the same seating area near the bar. Tell me something specific so I know it’s you? I can’t help but wonder what intentions those eyes had…

Wawa, Midlothian (Midlothian)

We made eye contact several times this morning at the Wawa on Midlothian Turnpike. You were wearing black pants, a light colored top, & a black coat. I was in jeans, ball cap, & black jacket. It was 9 AM. We were getting coffee at the same time…yours was 20 oz in the Holiday green cup. We made eye contact there, then again at the register. I was behind you in line (not by accident), & I started to offer to pay for your coffee but chickened out. As you turned to leave we made eye contact again & you smiled, as did I. Your Keys were on a purple-spiraled key ring on your left wrist. I saw them as you were adjusting your glasses. You were a pleasant, professional looking lady whom I’d like to get to know. I’ll be back there tomorrow at the same time. I don’t know if youlll be there on Saturday, but I’ll find out.

Top Shelf Liquor Cuttie (ABC Forest Hill)

Southern Bell that made a comment about top shelf liquor earlier today, then you held the door for me. You were rocking those jeans!

I should of asked if you were single.

If you were/are interested in grabbing a drink let me know and tell me what you were driving.

Jason

Samantha at Hardee’s in Hopewell (Hopewell)

Haven’t seen you there for awhile, so I’m guessing and hoping that you’ve moved on to better things. I do miss seeing you though. Your quick smile and lively attitude always made my morning when I’d come in for breakfast. Saw you twice with that gorgeous red hair down instead of pinned up for work….WOW! Have a great life, girl. Hope to run across you again one day.

Bon Air (Exxon)

To my Durango friend, damn you’re fine. I got a charge from your touch. You made me smile.

Tell me what we were working on so I know it’s you. 

Best of RVA Missed Connections December 12 – December 18

|

Topics: , , , , , ,

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).

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)

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!!

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.

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