Best of VA Missed Connections January 27 – February 2

Marilyn Drew Necci | February 2, 2021

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we’re all weird and everyone’s just doing their best. Not only do we have a pandemic going on, everyone’s going broke, it’s too goddamn cold, and now we’ve got snow and ice? I thought things were going to get better in 2021. Guess now we’ve just gotta wait for 2022 to roll around…

In the meantime, we can entertain ourselves with the cherry-picked gems from amidst an ever-increasing tide of spam and misplaced casual encounters posts that threaten to overrun Craigslist once and for all. It hasn’t happened yet, though, and you can see that this week in the words of dudes who just want to bro down like the guys on Scrubs did, people making connections with their cashiers at Trader Joe’s, and supposedly good-hearted types who just want to return multiple hundreds of dollars to that delivery driver who dropped it.

There’s a story in all of these Missed Connections, and sometimes we’re not getting all of it. But posts about flirtations at hardware stores and checking out Spanish-speaking hotties at the Walmart customer service desk provide tantalizing hints that set the mind alight. And isn’t that why we all keep coming back to this site?

Get your pink zebra print on, Virginia.

A momentary glance

I saw you…
You are that woman…
Our eyes met for only a moment…
But through your gaze, I saw a yearning…
I am here…
Reach for me…

Remember Scrubs (the sitcom)? (The West End)

I want a relationship like JD and Turk from “Scrubs”. They were the best; true bro friendship. That’s what some of us guys crave. Anyone else feel this way? If so, let’s talk about it. I am looking for someone close by near the West End ideally.

Pink zebra (Newport news)

Hey what’s up I saw you the other day lookin fine as usual. What’s up how’s life been? What do you think about all this covid mess?

Met at the VW place on Williamson (Cave Spring)

We’ve connected a couple times at the VW place, and you seem to have enjoyed our conversations, so to speak. If you’re interested in chatting more, connecting somewhere else, drop a line. Open to lots of additional topics.

Northern tool

Thank you for help finding bits this morning. I still have a smile.

Food delivery girl you dropped 300 bucks (Newport News)

You pulled up next to me in your Jeep and asked for directions. I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw your pretty face, the white low top you ware took my attention immediately to your sexy body. I tried to give you back the 300 bucks you dropped but you pulled away too fast.

Searching for N.S. (Richmond)

You had my attention last night.
You had it weeks ago. Keep talking.

Perdón por no saludarme. (Leesburg (Compass Creek Parkway))

compass creek parkway
Perdón por no saludarme.
Lo siento. No hablo español muy bien.
Estuvimos en Compass Creek (Leesburg) Walmart el sábado 30 de enero, alrededor del mediodía. Estabas parado cerca del área de servicio al cliente, el área de pago, hablando con tu amigo.
Entré, vestido todo de negro.
¡NUESTROS OJOS SE ENCONTRARON!
No podía dejar de mirarte y tú no podías dejar de mirarme.
PERO
No te hablé.
Lo siento.
Espero que leas esto y espero verte de nuevo.
Nunca te olvidaré ni a ti ni a tus hermosos ojos. SIEMPRE.

[English translation provided by Google Translate]

Sorry for not saying hello. (Leesburg (Compass Creek Parkway))

compass creek parkway
Sorry for not saying hello.
I’m sorry. I do not speak Spanish very well.
We were at Compass Creek (Leesburg) Walmart on Saturday, January 30, around noon. You were standing near the customer service area, the payment area, talking to your friend.
I walked in, dressed all in black.
OUR EYES MET!
I couldn’t stop looking at you and you couldn’t stop looking at me.
BUT
I didn’t speak to you.
I’m sorry.
Hope you read this and hope to see you again.
I will never forget you or your beautiful eyes. ALWAYS.

It doesn’t matter I still do

Even though I stopped calling you, I still think about you. I am still in love with you Kelli. It doesn’t matter if I stop calling you, I still keep thinking about you. I know I shouldn’t. It’s doesn’t matter, I still do! I still love you Kelli! You know who I am. Hope to you see this!

Trader Joe’s Connection (U Street)

You: Trader Joe’s employee, shaved head, ginger beard peaking beneath mask
Me: Harried grad student, jean jacket, braid, probably shadowed eyes from too little sleep

You rang me up while discussing the politics of preppers, DC residents’ inability to handle cold temperatures or snow. Would like to learn what brought you from the mid-West to DC, among other things.

Here we are for another week of Missed Connections, where the pickings get steadily slimmer as the sadly-departed cesspool that was the Casual Encounters page on Craigslist continues its gradual takeover of what we once knew as one of the most fun internet pages to read. SESTA/FOSTA, what have you wrought? Endless posts about pipe, wood, and tacos (please stop ruining one of my favorite foods for me, internet idiots).

OK, enough complaining for one week — let’s talk about the diamonds we were able to locate in a very rough corner of the internet. From green Mustang-driving hotties to Mazdas at the Dairy Queen, a lot of action is taking place in cars these days. I suppose that’s no surprise, since COVID is worse than ever, and anyone worth meeting is mostly sticking to their own air space.

There’s plenty happening in the outdoors, even on dreary rainy days like this one, as we hear tales of bikers and birdwatchers making eyes at one another. And of course, there are the quixotic, seemingly doomed missions that might nonetheless work against all odds. This week, it’s someone looking for an AM radio DJ who was on the air in Richmond over 30 years ago. If you ask me, you might shoulda started your search a little sooner. But what do I know?

Open the door, Virginia.

Biking at Pocahontas (Chesterfield)

We were both getting ready to ride and we were parked next to each other today (Saturday). You’re a female and I’m a male. We chatted a bit about the weather and our dirty bikes. I believe you were with your son and I wasn’t comfortable asking for your number in front of him, or if you were even available. Wondering if you’d like to ride together sometime?

A+ Pink Shoes Camouflage Pants Exxon at Buford Tuesday Night (Old Bonair)

Hi-

Last night Tuesday I commented on your pink shoes. A+ You a tall blond wearing a mask.

After you left the counter you were filling your windshield wiper fluid Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I should have offered to help you.

We should meet you for coffee or drinks

MGM white beauty (DMV)

You look at me I was playing slot machine
We have look to each other
You were walking out from the casino
I would love to talk to you beautiful bebe

Birdwatcher at Rockwood Park (Chesterfield)

You were the cute blonde gal that was looking up a tree at a woodpecker that you pointed out to me. I wish I would have stopped hiking long enough to strike up a conversation with you. Do you remember what kind of bird that I said I had seen ? Hope to catch you birdwatching again.

Green Stang Hull St

We were at a stoplight on Hull St next to the Sheetz. I was scrubbin in the backseat of my boii’s pickup lookin to holler when you looked my way. I saw you giggle. I’m tryna see that giggle the rest of my life. Drop that green stang hard top mama and let me love you.

Fun Times in The Artech (charlottesville)

Walking from the lobby to their apartment at about 1:30am this morning, two girls dressed for the club, things maybe didn’t go quite their way. One girl to the other, the whole way down the hall, is saying, as if on a loop, “Open the door, bitch. Open the door, bitch.” It was so good it was as if she were auditioning for a part.

I am looking for Cody

Hey Cody this is Mike, remember me, lets get together again if you are not Cody don’t contact me, i do not like BS

1988-90 Female AM Radio DJ (Roanoke/Salem)

Female AM Country radio DJ. You played the Statlers for me. Hope you are well. Maybe drop me a line?

Waved at me (Colonial heights va)

I’m coming from the round about and as I come over the hill to the light where the Waffle House and Dairy Queen/ Jersey Mike’s is, I glance over to my left and see this beautiful older lady driving a semi suv like a Mazda Tribute size. She waves at me and I waved back. She also smiled at me. I was a Black gentlemen and she was an older Caucasian lady. If you can tell me the color of my car I would love to get to know you…

Home Depot employee (Chesterfield)

You sold me some appliances today and hit on me pretty good. Even tho you do t make commission you wanted to take to me to lunch. I think we should get down and dirty I want you badly. I know your a freak I can tell. If this his you tell me your name so I know it’s you.

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we are simultaneously concerned and cautiously optimistic. Will tomorrow’s inauguration bring a new dawn for the world? If so, it might lift the spirits of the many lovelorn folks we find speaking from the pages of Craigslist this week. It seems wintering isn’t working out so well for a lot of people right now — and of course, finding a new partner in the time of COVID has its own pitfalls.

Regardless, people are still out there trying to meet each other, and this week’s MCs brings us stories from Waffle House and Food Lion, because no one is exactly rolling in dough right now, plus some meet-cutes involving prison nurses and shoutouts at stoplights. If you’re in the market for a new Tarot deck, you’ll want to read on, but beware of bitter religious folk wielding amateur psychological diagnoses.

Oh, and by the way, a word to the wise for those in doubt: learning about hip hop is a worthwhile way to spend your time even if it doesn’t get any cuties to hang out with you.

Use your time wisely, Virginia.

You snooze, you lose

That’s right! If you’re on here posting how you coulda woulda shoulda said hello or something …. then you need to avoid that next missed connection. Come on …. be bold, take the chance, speak up, don’t let her/him walk away. At least, TRY

For some people, that feeling lasts forever

Nothing has changed over here. I still feel the same way about you as I did all those years ago. You gave me so many opportunities to love you and I squandered them all. My sincerest apologies. Unfortunately I am not a time traveler so I cannot repair the past. We are only here in the present moment. You give me a concrete sign and I will take care of the rest. Worry not about money, I have you covered. If you never wanted to work that’s fine with me, although for your own personal fulfilment I would recommend it. You are driven and well composed so I wouldn’t expect that anyways. One of the many things I love about you. Worry not about anything. Get in touch and I will take care of the rest. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. That’s what I should have done from the start. I was so terrified of messing up our relation that I messed it up. Ironic… I take full responsibility. This situation is normal for twin souls. No need to dwell on the past. I sure won’t. Onward and upward to the stars. I love you so much. You are perfect in my eyes, now and forever.

You gave me coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond around Xmas then I saw you (Midlothian)

Today (MLK day) at the Walmart on Midlothian. We both did a double take and I kicked myself for not finding you again to say hi. I had a blue jacket on today and you had black leggings on that looked amazing. I would love to see you again.

Awesome at Walmart (Ruckersville)

Saw you at the local Walmart (Ruckersville).

You cut an unusual figure… seemed like, to me, you were bold and different. I think you may have noticed the tall, older guy ooogling your way.

Had the crowds not been so heavy I like to think we could have talked.

Would like to get the chance to know you more.

Stella’s (One Life) (Richmond, VA)

You were wearing a “Tax the Rich” sweater and helped me and a friend. Shot in the dark that you’ll see this but who knows.

Waffle House (Mechanicsville)

You’ve been my server a few times. We seem to converse well with one another, laugh and carry on. I think you’re a pretty woman.
You’re not wearing a ring and haven’t had the appropriate time to ask if you’re involved with anyone.
You probably are, but here goes nothing.
Your name rhymes with Candy! 😁
Put the company on my uniform I work for in the subject line for a response.
Take Care.

Guess it’s over

I’m here and I don’t know what to say. I lost you, please come back I love you. I miss you. My heart is broken. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t find you and I can’t reach you because you left social media and you haven’t been answering my phone calls and texts. What did I do? Please say something. You’ll know who I am by the way you describe that thing I used to do to you to make your legs lock and shake.

Missed connection at food lion on Jan 12! (Richmond)

We caught each other’s eyes more than once in the potato chip aisle at food lion on broad st near glenside drive around 5pm… you were wearing a stocking cap and black jeans. If I wasn’t wearing my bummy work clothes and muddy boots I would have said something to you. And you caught me off guard.

Heathsville Foodlion (Heathsville)

To the gorgeous blond in the Food Lion. You are lovely and I should have flirted more. You had your hair in a ponytail and wore a bright green top. Buying stuff before the sat football games. You were not wearing a band so I don’t know if you might be interested in future activities or not. I had on a med blue tshirt.

To the guy in the red car who hit on me on route 17 (stafford)

Hey, its the girl you were hitting on a few days ago. I was in my car and you rolled down your window to talk to me. I told you I had a boyfriend but I was lying. You were light-skin with some kind of braids in your hair. I should have saw what was up with you. This is my attempt at reaching out to you. If this is you, tell me what kind of car I was driving and let’s get in touch. Figured this was worth a shot.

Tarot Cards (The West End)

I was given a very nice deck of tarot cards and a book for readings for Christmas 2019. I have never used them because I have a deck that I use and have owned for many years. The new deck was giving to me by someone that is not in my life and I don’t want them in my possession, but don’t want to throw them out or give to any I know. I was wondering if someone would be interested in them (gratis). I am sure they came from Barnes and Noble and in absolute mint condition. Hopefully there is someone out there that has interest in tarot and would appreciate them.

Ideally will meet you somewhere in the Near West End or Fan and give them to you. Willow Lawn area. All I ask is that you tell me a bit about yourself and interest in Tarot. I just want to know that they’re going to a good home.

Hip Hop opener (Chesapeake)

We met a few years ago while your wife was in school. You offered me a beer and I enjoyed the Bud Light. I live in Virginia Beach and would like to meet again. I have learned more about hip hop.

FACTS and TRUTH (BUENA VISTA VIRGINIA)

I stayed with you so long through the bullshit because I was torn between not giving
up on the person who I loved…my Soulmate…and coming to terms with the fact that the person that I loved
no longer existed inside of the body that I was staring at (or not staring at depending if you were “on the road”
or not… ) everyday…and I dont care what anyone says ..that is a really painfull thing to wrap your brain around…
It takes a while to believe it. I can not fathom how one of Gods children can do another one this way. Its been 6 months and I am not better than in July. You portray your self as the Malignant Narcissist that you are. Its another one of those things that can be worked on but I forgot…..you are OK. God help you and anybody around you.

Nurse in prison (Chesapeake)

We use to work in a prison. I dont anymore but you still do. We both were going through bad relationships and started seeing each other….after some time we started to fall for each other. I still think about you daily. I know you went back to him and started a family….but i miss you and still love you. Everytime i see your posts on FB i think about you. I cant get you out of my head. In my new job i saw you and helped you with something that saved you money but made your new thing protected for free. I opened my own business and now you want me to do a service for you….Its hard to be near you and not kiss you. It stinks we didnt end up working out. But know deep down i say i dont care….but i do…i still love you like it was yesterday.

Back for another week of Missed Connections, and in a week where our country seemed like it was about to go under at any moment, things on Craigslist were just as crazy. From spot-on parodies of the QAnon hipster garbage who made up half the crowd at the Capitol invasion (the other half were pure unreconstructed hicks) to keyboard cosplayers filling the pages of Craigslist with what would have been “Dear Penthouse Forum, I never thought it would happen to me” letters if they were written 50 years ago, shit is legit popping off this week.

If that all sounds a little too crazy, the missives from Baby Yoda puppeteers, beef stew cooks, and finders of lost license plates may be more your speed. Things are pretty fun all around this week, though — even when other habitual Missed Connections readers finally get disgruntled enough to start complaining about all the ads. Though I must say, those of us reading your posts probably can’t do anything more about the situation than you can. Maybe an email to the Craigslist admins would be a better use of your time? Just a suggestion.

Observe the terms of service, Virginia.

never far

is it safe to assume you aren’t romantically involved with anyone?
I would like to keep flirting with you but I am worried about making you uncomfy

Seeking the helper at Midlo WAWA (Midlothian)

Thanks to the guy who helped me at WAWA Midlo 288/60 I’m the older guy who’s SUV wouldn’t start and you helped jump it. I wasn’t able to thank you cause all I had was plastic, so I offered you another option which seemed to make you pop. You did both in a rush and I forgot to get your contact so if you want another thanks let me know I’ll keep an eye out for your work van. Maybe I’ll see you soon.

Girl in Publix the Village Shopping Center (Three Chopt)

I passed you as you were headed to the check out carrying a flower. You were a dark brunette, wearing a black jacket and camo leggings. We def locked eyes for a few seconds. I tried to get my last item and check out quickly. I saw you leave but didn’t see you in the parking lot. If this was you and you are interested in meeting up, let me know.

I gave you something “filling.” (Richmond)

We had met up at one of the bars downtown.

We had a pretty solid vibe when I came up to you or maybe it was the drinks that carried us away when you said that you’ve never had been with a black dude before. Or maybe it was the fact that your boyfriend had cheated and you just wanted that revenge.

When I took you back to the hotel room to give you exactly what we both wanted, I was amazed by how excitable you were as you took every single inch.

Too bad that I was dumb and I forgot to get your number again. I won’t say your name(I don’t know if you two made up), but I’d like to go at it again.

If you think this is you, I hope you had a real good time with me and I hope you’d be willing for another round.

Gorgeous Female shopper in Jeans/high heels (PUBLIX -Ridgefield/Pump Road)

You were gracefully strutting while you pushed your cart about the store Thursday evening. You seemed intent on your list and should have interrupted you but alas, another moment squandered.

CVS Roanoke (Roanoke)

You work at CVS. I came in a couple of days ago and you helped me with my CVS extra points LOL and you set me up for digital receipts and coupons. You are very good looking. We had a nice conversation. When you typed in my phone number I smiled and said “you should remember that”. I complimented your shirt. I know you saw my eyes wondering. I won’t say the location but I hope you see this!

Violating the Terms of Service (Norfolk)

Who keeps posting the ads in “Missing Connections” that always begin with , “Seriously dude? You expect to find
real women on here to …”? Then the ads proceed to direct you to sites where you can find “real” women to hook up with. They clearly violate the terms of service in attempting to get you to go to other sites. They should be permanently banned from posting. I flag them every time I see them and I hope others will do so as well.

Ads (Ches)

Why does every real ad get deleted while all these others stay up?

Please stop deleting real ads

Kingstowne post office 1/6/21 (Alexandria)

You were wearing dark pants (I think you are a nurse) and were getting help finding a package.

I was wearing black pants with a black jacket (bald head) and was picking up a couple certified letters.

This was around 4:15pm(ish).

You turned and smiled at me. Your entire being is beyond stunning, but I especially noticed your gorgeous eyes and amazingly beautiful hair, then I heard your sweet southern accent when you were talking to the lady at the blue package pickup door 😍

I got my letters and left. I looked back at you as I was walking away and you looked in my direction.

I got in my blue Jeep and waited for you to come outside because I had every intention of talking to you! However, you got in your white Hyundai and I had to take a phone call while you smoked a cigarette. Before I was able to get off the phone, you left 😔

I should have talked to you inside the post office but I kinda chickened out…

I would at least like to take you to dinner so I hope you see this!

Got my Arby’s bag

You where on lunch break and got my bag by mistake. We had same name.

Found license plate “09*** X“ on Trail Canyon Road (charlottesville)

Found Nevada license plate 09*** X on Trail Canyon Road. Show me the other plate and registration form and I’ll tell you where to find this one.

White Jeep Foodlion (Bowling green)

Beef stew….you are absolutely gorgeous! Would’ve loved to help you make it. Maybe we can chat sometime

torn up jeans & curious eyes in Plaza Azteca (Yorktown)

You were the well dressed curious girl with torn up jeans and a really classy top. I am interested so email me back and let’s begin laughing and sharing some fun times together.

Why would someone lie about moving?

Why would someone lie about moving? Either you live here or you don’t. Why lie about it Nevada?

I saw your wedding ring/engagement ring…

But then I looked into your eyes…
And you looked into mine…
And there was something there…
We shared that moment…
We’re both missing that one thing…

Great Falls Starbucks

It’s a very long shot, but perhaps you’ll see this? I saw you, you saw me. We both smiled, you stopped and let us cross in front of you, and we smiled at each other again! Sunday, January 10 at the Starbucks in Great Falls. A reply with the kind of vehicle you were driving and the sports team on your jacket will get a response!

baby yoda

Bumped into you yesterday at Union station while you were waiting for a train and i was wondering around aimlessly. I was using really bad ventriloquism to talk to people through my baby yoda puppet.

Baby yoda said, “late the train is, hmmm?” to you which made you smile, but you hopped away on your pogo stick, spilling a lot of your coffee to board a train.

If you are a DC resident or come to DC often, I would love to meet you since you are the only person that has smiled at me in years.

I have a boba fet hand puppet you can use for us to chat.

220 Home Depot (Roanoke)

7pm
you were with an older man, dad?
20’s dark hair, dark sagged sweat pants, grey hoodie.

We watched each other. I think we recognized each other.

when it snowed early last yr i paid you to help me to
shovel my drive and walkway.

hit me back , i got you . m/m

LOVE at Capitol Hill (Capitol Hill)

My Aryan Goddess, we met defending our country while at the Capitol Building. I forgot your name, maybe it was Ashley or Aston. You were leading the way, being one of the many leader our movement needs. You used my hand to penetrate through that broken window. It was soft but firm, just like my cousins. Seeing you take charge, made me realize we need to communicate more. We briefly talked about our military experience, how Soros funded antifa, and how we need to take our country back from those Jew York, and Pedofornia loving libtards like Maxine Waters, preaching in their own echo chamber.

Your drive and passion for our great country is what I truly need in my life. I would love to get to know you better and maybe lead into courtship. If this is you, email me with what color hat I was wearing, along with your 23 and Me, to make sure you don’t have tainted blood. God Bless America. TRUMP 2020!

PS – did you like my title? LOVE at Capitol Hill. Because it’s capitalized. I thought it was clever.

Best of VA Missed Connections December 9 – December 15

RVA Staff | December 14, 2020

Topics: best of missed connections, Craigslist Missed connections, manassas, missed connections, Norfolk, Richmond missed connections, roanoke

It’s another week of Missed Connections, and with the weather growing ever colder, it seems like we’re all getting pretty quirky these days. This week brings us freaks who want their ears massaged by a hot barber and lightly-endowed gentlemen seeking those with similar attributes (or lack thereof). How crazy are we all going to be by March?

Only time will tell, but we won’t have to wait to hear from the straight dudes who are tired of women and just want to bond with the bros (perhaps sexually). Then there are the REI-shopping hipsters, the Pearl Harbor cannoneers, and the urine screeners. They’ve all got their charms, but here at RVA Mag, we’re holding out for the anonymous angel in the Starbucks drive-thru line. Mama needs a free hot chocolate, folks — hook it up.

This week’s crop of posts gets a little coy at times when it comes to LGBTQ identities — which, as one poster points out, is nothing like the old days. But in the end, none of it really matters, because one guy wants us to know that he’s just flagging EVERYTHING from now on. RIP CL MCs? Guess we’ll see.

Don’t stand under the mistletoe with anyone else but us, Virginia.

Barber, Hair Stylist for men (Henrico)

Barber whose fist name starts with S, who is so thorough, even massaging the ears, incredibly gentle and thorough, stimulating, please respond if you see this.

Mistle toes for Xmas (Charlottesville)

In need of female to assist in toe admiration this holiday season. Your help in making sure that mistle toes are properly given the attention they deserve would be most appreciated.

Venting (Henrico)

ANSWER ME THIS. MILITARY GUY WAS STATIONED OVERSEAS BEEN GONE FOR A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. CAME HOME TO FIND OUT MY WIFE IS IN A WHOLE NEW RELATIONSHIP. OF COURSE SHE GOT LONELY. SHE KNEW MY CAREER PATH B4 WE GOT MARRIED. SO BASICALLY ANY FEMALES INTO MILITARY GUYS…THAT WANT TO LET ME VENT IN PERSON….FYI…THIS JUST HAPPENED LAST WEEK…

Lil Bros (Richmond)

Any other guys like me with a small one? Curious about experiences and down to get together and have some fun if there is interest. Probably best if you’re under 50.

Handsome white gent looking for nipples (Laurel)

Very handsome, professional, clean-cut, athletic and fun caucasian gentleman here looking to give your beautiful nipples all the attention they want/deserve. I won’t push for anything more either – I promise! For what it’s worth, I recently recovered from a mild case of COVID so you won’t find anybody safer than me 🙂

Females only please – thx!

my name was spelled wrong. would like to see you again (REI)

you: very cute, were working REI cash register around 4:30pm on monday 12/7, wore avett brothers t shirt

me: bought bike chains, wore glasses, black beanie, red flannel. my name is misspelled on my REI account. you and i found this funny

thought: you seem very nice and cool and i’d love to chat more through our PPE and see how we feel about that. email me with how my name was wrong if you see this!

Pearl Harbor Day (Manassas)

The Lord of the mountains is also Lord of the valleys.

Orrlikon cannons belched hot lead from the deck of the mighty ships moored to great effect.

BB-62, like a true lady, would not be denied her glorious destiny.

Red Kia Soul at Starbucks Drive-Thru on Volvo-Battlefield (Chesapeake)

You were in front of me at the Starbucks drive-thru on Volvo-Battlefield driving a red Kia Soul and you generously paid for my order. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing that! Especially when I was having a bad mood. Have a Merry Christmas!

I miss old Craigslist.

I miss old Craigslist is all it’s gay MFM glory. Email me, Let’s talk about it.

Friend of Dorothy (Hampton Roads)

Missed you at the coming out party ! Hope you are well ! Didn’t recognize many people because of the masks . Looking forward to the times when can be out and about with no masks .

Something different (Richmond)

Just wondering if there are any other dudes out there just tired of women and curious for something different. Don’t care if you’re with a woman currently or just got over a relationship with a woman and now think maybe there is something else out there that might be better. Maybe a new type of friendship especially now. This will only work if you’re in The Fan or West End for the most part. Looking for a real guys that are looking to have that best friend shit that we use to have in college, before life got too real. Let’s talk.

Please give some details if you decide to reply.

Pretty nurse (Salem)

Was at urine screen on Friday morning. You were new and was going through process on computer. Very pretty blonde. Would like to know you!

Just Found Something of Yours (Off East Rio Rd.)

I was going through my stuff the other day cleaning house and discovered some unusual hardware that definitely doesn’t belong to me. I don’t know who you are, or if there was more than one of you, since I have had a lot of work done here. Please let me know if you read this ad and remember. Maybe I can help give you a clue.

Ash on OKC (Charlottesville)

Hey- it’s really one for you!

I’d love to hear about your religious studies dissertation- I’m no theology scholar but I did go to a Jesuit university that required a couple classes.

Almost sent you a message on OKC but figured this would be a little more interesting 😉 Hope to hear from you!

If I can’t post here, nobody can post here

Flagging douche bags. I’m gonna flag all the ads from now on. My real missed connection lasts 2 minutes on here ever time. You all are gonners.

Black Friday has come and gone, and we are now officially in the Christmas season here at the Missed Connections. This week, we’re getting in the spirit with MCs from Christmas tree lots and holiday parties that we can only hope are not super-spreader events. The holidays are always a fraught time, but the specter of disease is making this year’s a little… spooky. And not just in the Scrooge sense of the term, either.

But enough of all that; this week’s Missed Connections are here to take our mind off COVID for at least a hot second and provide some entertaining diversions. This week’s include tall dogs, antique fan collectors, fuzzy handcuffs dangling from car mirrors, and a whole bunch more. We wouldn’t normally expect an inability to figure out anagrams to be a positive selling point, but it is this week, as you’ll see. Hey, it’s the holiday season — strange things happen this time of year.

One thing that someone in this week’s MCs should not be surprised about is the fact that total lemons that auction houses pick up for little to no money end up being sold for thousands of dollars on shady used car lots. If the sign says, “Buy here, pay here,” what it’s really telling you is that you’re probably about to get ripped off.

Caveat emptor, Virginia.

Christmas tree lot (Hopewell)

You came to the Christmas tree lot this weekend and were making eyes at me. Or it seemed that way.

Let me know what you were wearing and I will let you know if it was you.

Let me love you. (Chesterfield)

You should let me love you. I promise you wont regret it.

Fuzzy handcuff Ford (Chester / Colonial Heights)

While running some errands today I looked up and saw you just dancing and singing. You just looked like you were having a really good time, I was in a hurry or I would of followed but I blew you a kiss and kept rolling. If you saw this and are interested tell me what type of car I was driving in your first message.

Tonight at Timberwood Taphouse (Charlottesville, VA)

This is a longshot, I know. I was a male patron and you were a female server. We exchanged looks and saw you smile, but I was with other people so I didn’t want to be a jerk to them, but I wanted to talk to you too. I’m shy and didn’t want to intrude while you were working, which sounds lame, I know.

In the off-chance you read this, you remember me, and want to meet, I’d love to meet you and get to know you.

Music at The Fork (ROANOKE)

I was listening to the great music at FITA Sunday evening with 2 friends. You were enjoying it as well, and we exchanged glances when I left. I really wanted to chat with you a bit, but the music was loud enough that I would have had to lean in close (social distancing!). I have regretted not doing so since.

On the off chance that you read this and wish that I had approached you, I’d love to hear from you. You can tell me the name of the songwriter that I called out to separate yourself from the scammers that will flood my inbox.

Cold harbor battlefield (Mechanicsville)

Anyone jog regularly at cold harbor battlefield or want to? I enjoy pole green park too. I’m in pretty good shape but I want to start running more often and need an accountability partner. I prefer going Mon-Fri during the day a couple times a week. I have no issues proving I’m a normal person just looking to exercise more often and enjoy the outdoors, you should be able to prove you’re real/sane as well. Thanks, talk to you soon

Looking for David, an antique fan collector who lives in Richmond… (Richmond)

I’m trying to touch base with David, I did some work at your house recently and we got to chat intermittently while I was there working. I really enjoyed chatting with you and seems like we had some cool stuff in common.

Out of respect I won’t put much personal info about you other than the fact that you have an impressive collection of fans. If this is you, that should be enough.

I enjoyed getting to know you and talking with you about your collection. You’re extremely attractive and clearly very smart. I know you’re single and live alone but I was wondering if you were open to a friendship or maybe more?

You’re a little older than I am but that’s cool with me. I kept thinking I was picking up a vibe when we were chatting but felt weird about asking you because I felt it to be unprofessional.

If this sounds like you then message me telling me what kind of work I was doing for you and how you feel. Thanks!

Mon aft. Belle Isle. I have tall dog. (Belle Isle)

I have a tall black dog. You were friendly, out of my league (quite likely age range, too, but just in case), and made a remark. I was on the phone and realized too late I may have missed a moment (I’ve been out of the game for a while).

walgreens worker (Mechanicsville)

YOU: working this morning, being oh so helpful

ME: almost incapable of taking my eyes of your butt when you walked me around the store. would love to connect further, but didnt wanna be too forward

think this is you? send me an email and let me know what you helped me look for but couldnt find

You were losing at anagrams (Stafford)

You were playing anagrams with a friend at work and losing. You said you had only won once. My guess is you live in the neighborhood behind your work or close by.

Rosie’s security guard in New Kent (New Kent)

You are the most handsome guy. I would love to connect with you and get to know you better. You’re young, probably about 5’7″. Say hello!

Looking for the person that donated a 1998 Dodge Dakota to Copart (Hampton)

Copart took your donated vehicle and auctioned it off to a shady dealership that wants $6000 for that 1998 Dodge Dakota.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Learn how to give properly.

Ghent bank teller — name starts with J

We always hit it off. Just seemed to connect in talking about stuff in general. I would be there for work, at YOUR work, so it was just small talk. But I always thought it would be nice to get to know each other WITHOUT plexiglass between us over beer or coffee. But it was awkward to give you my number or for you to give me yours.

Though I did try. 🙂

With COVID, even that beer or coffee may take awhile. But I don’t come in anymore, so was hoping you see this, and we can reconnect over the phone, for now.

Anyway, I know your first name, where you work (of course), roughly where you live, and even where you’re from and whom you live with. So if you are the right person, we’ll have no trouble figuring it out.

Wish there was a way to be direct, but given the CL reputation, I think keeping details out of the first post make sense.

Hope you see this, and I hope I hear from you soon.

Smiled at each other (Fredricksburg)

On Monday I was in the turn lane and you were the cute lady next to me going straight on rte 3. We kept smiling at each other and seemed attracted/flirting. I should of had you turn with me into the parking lot and regret I didn’t. Reply back if you would like to meet up for coffee,lunch or whatever

West clay st (Richmond)

You were cute af I wanted to ask for your number but your coworkers were there hum if you remember what i delivered

Beach weather? (Ocean View)

You were running into the water today, it looked so cold!! Would love to have chatted longer

Dollar store (Mechanicsville)

You were driving a dark green Colorado truck. Dark hair and the truck needed a muffler. Thought you were cute. Hit me up.
