Best Of VA Missed Connections December 16 – December 22

RVA Staff | December 21, 2020

Topics: Best of craigslist, best of missed connections, craigslist, Craigslist Missed connections, missed connections, richmond, roanoke, RVA missed connections

I don’t know how many ways I can tell y’all over and over again every week that all of us are losing our minds a bit from the longterm social isolation of this pandemic, but even if I get repetitive, it seems that the Missed Connections will always find a new spin on an old theme.

This week, we hear from someone whose top criteria for a connection seems to be the willingness to spend a night in the same bed, as well as some Mechanicsville dollar store shoppers who manage to exude top-level redneck vibes in the space of only two lines. The fact that Richmond’s become a bit of a clearinghouse for the filming of period piece dramas over the past several years factors into this week’s MCs, as does Maymont Park and craft brew — very Richmond, on the whole.

If anything will let you know that we’re all getting a little economically desperate at this point, though, it’s the fact that there are so many Missed Connections this week from Food Lion. Not that I’m knocking it — they’re the only grocery store in the area that carries my favorite flavor of Lipton Rice Sides.

Stock up, Virginia.

just sleep in my bed (the fan)

just dont be a junky and come sleep in my bed for a few hours. We can work it out in email. I’m 29, white, and in the fan.

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.

Ryan from “Turn”: Washington Spies (Richmond)

I know this is the craziest long shot ever….but looking for a guy named Ryan (I know there are a million Ryans), but this Ryan worked on the set of “Turn” during Season I and II. Tall dude with long brown hair, fit, and usually played a soldier red coat or blue coat. We were on the set together in Maidens, VA (State Farm), The Old Baptist Church in downtown Richmond and one night in Petersburg, VA all in 2014. Me and another friend from “Turn” have been talking about you and wondered, whatever happened to that guy. You were very cool as was the time in general. It was a lot fun hanging out in the warming tents waiting for our “big break” in front of the camera. If anyone might know this Ryan or was even on “Turn” it would be fun to reminisce.

Apple rep at SAMs (Richmond)

We discussed iPads. I wanted to talk more but you went to the bathroom. Let me know if you see this.

food lion (lucks lane)

TO THE WORKER WHO HELP ME ABOUT THE COFFEE CREAMER WHEN IT WOULD BE IN TOMORROW AND ENDED UP TALKING WHEN WASHING OUR HANDS IN THE REST ROOM, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP I HAD A HELL OF A DAY SHOPPING SEEM LIKE NO ONE THERE TODAY WOULD HELP WITH ANYTHING BUT YOU

Food Lion Cutie (Goochland)

Great laugh as we went by each other in the aisle then a quick by as I left the check out. Would love to buy you a drink sometime and hear that laugh again 🙂

Noah ( food lion)

it was cool talking to you today about your hair, it was nice to meet you

Maymont Staff (Whole Foods)

To the beautiful girl with the excellent taste in beer! Hello 🙂 you had (2) 6 packs

The woman I saw at the gas station (Roanoke)

I saw you at the gas station. Skinny woman. We made eye contact briefly but because we were both wearing a mask I did not approach you.

Couple at the bar (Midlothian)

You are a couple at the bar…. someone we chatted and flirted with (another couple). We discussed the possibility of heading back to one of our houses for some fun times (girl time and possibly more). If you think this could be you let us know . Hoping to catch up this weekend.

Happy Birthday (RVA)

Happy happy oh my friend(?)! Wishing you much love and light. Hope you’re not dealing with too many heavy things.
It’s too bad you’ve become a ghost, we should be bouncing round the room somewhere.

Best of VA Missed Connections December 24 – December 31

RVA Staff | December 31, 2019

Since we last brought you our weekly Missed Connections roundup, we’ve moved from Merry Christmas to Happy New Year, and from freezing temps to a surprising post-solstice return of springlike conditions. That’s led quite a few people to break out the warm weather clothing, which can include sandals… the mere thought of with draws weirdos inexorably toward Craigslist.

But it’s not just foot fetishists out here in MC-land, we’ve also got quite a bit of Christmas spirit lingering throughout the final week of 2019. If you bought a stranger a pizza over the holidays, kudos to you; what’s more, someone in the Missed Connections just might be looking for you. Plus, we’ve got awkwardly charming holiday geekiness, friendly Honda repairmen, and gorgeous Taco Bell frequenters (so you know they’ve got good taste).

I sure hope you guys have gotten all the foot talk out of your system this week, though. If it starts being like this every week, I’m gonna be a bit skeeved out.

Happy New Year, Virginia!

Toes in December (Short Pump)

What a nice surprise for these warm days in December. Makes me want to see some sexy female toes out and about. Mature, generous male wants to pamper and play with your feet.

From painting your nails to sucking your toes, I love it all.

Shoe size in subject line will get my attention. Come on ladies, let me at your feet !

Where is my package

You delivered once, but I guess the holiday rush kept you away…..I hope to unwrap that chocolate again.

Lonely (Midlothian)

Lonely during the holidays would love to find a friend. 

Pizza rocks (place 4 g)

I am thankful on Christmas that you got me pizza when I was without food. When I think all is lost, someone shows up and helps me. I think your name was Jaimes and you had a place near where I was. I have to get my plan together soon, to live for another day. So I can pay it forward to the next person. Would like to be able to gmail you if you can. Should be able to do some work to your car or something for your kindness. Thank you again and have a great Christmas. 

Missing my foot goddess (Rva)

Missing my beautiful foot goddess, hopefully I can reunite or meet someone new. 

When a fine woman with shy smile comes along (540397 Culpeper Road)

You bumped into me accidentally and were embarrassed I guess. I was about speechless because of your smile and fab hair. It was hard to talk because you surprised me. You really alone Christmas? I am dumb because I am too and your bumping into me I didn’t say same here. Never posted or asked, but would you like to just walk somewhere pretty and talk? Promise I am kind and will make you smile again. Who wants to be alone anyhow? I hope you see this, and since I had guts to post, maybe you will respond. You seemed playful so – dare! New years coming and 5191 is the band playing at the winery. You have snuck and got my number. I hear they have new ducklings this year!!!!! 

A truck for Christmas…

We talked for a minute a few nights ago… I want to talk more! Tell me about your truck so I know it’s you.

New in town (Richmond)

New in town looking to go out with some other party goers .. ready for a good time to bring in the new year 

coffee awkwardness at 7-eleven (Museum District)

That awkward shuffle we did around each other while making coffee really made me giggle the other day (Friday? Saturday?). So did your pikachu lanyard and spiderman wallet. Wanna go… grab more, um… coffee?

7-11 Cashier (Corner of Main and Harrison Street)

I was in your 7-11 at almost midnight on the 21st. You were talking to the other cashier and it looked like you were preparing to go home. Our eyes met a few time. You are a brunette woman with beautiful brown eyes and I wanted to say something to you but chickened out. If you see this, remember me and are interested give me a shout. I’d like to get to know you.

Female foot models wanted (Hampton Roads)

Searching for women over the age of 18 who have pretty to decent looking feet who wouldn’t mind modeling their feet. Modeling feet includes pictures and videos and that’s all. Toe nails don’t have to be painted, nor is a pedicure needed (it can be provided if desired), and size of feet doesn’t matter. Please no mangled and extra toes, skin conditions, or missing and extra toes. Any race is welcomed to apply, and finding someone in the next few weeks is important. If interested, please email me and include age, foot size, and picture of feet if you have it. Please also have a pair of flip flops, sneakers, heels (closed and open toe), and flats. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day. 

New Years friendly party (Fredericksburg)

The wife and I were downtown Fredericksburg back during New Years You were an older gentleman the wife had dark hair and everything seem pretty cool with good conversation but we lost your contact info. We are staying in Fredericksburg New Year’s weekend again just wanted to see if we could find you…long shot. If this is you send your picture for confirmation

Restroom second time

This was the second time I ran into you, the last being tonight. You were working. You were standing still and I went into the stall. I came out and we glanced at each other and you went into the stall. You were on your phone again. Was it meant for us to meet? If you see this tell me what I said before I left.

Lady with Honda at BAP GEON (Norfolk)

Looking for Beautiful woman that I helped at Bap Geon Saturday 14th with her Honda so she could make it to a Funeral. You offered me money and I wouldn’t take it so you gave me a hug instead. If you see this I would love to take you to lunch sometime.

fun times again (Chesterfield)

We hooked up a couple times at your place & I was wondering would you like to reconnect ?? Or was wondering if there might be a different woman that likes having her feeties worshipped. If your still here & want to have more fun, just let me know. Or if you want to try to see if we connect, let me know

Looking for a woman

I am a younger white country boy just looking for some new things to learn in the room If you know what I mean hmu with anything females only 

Looking for a girl w a secret (Lawrenceville)

I’m looking for about any girl that secretly likes to be spanked. Maybe not so secretly. Maybe this is new fantasy, or maybe lifelong, or maybe you’re just curious. We may have been chatting and got cut off before. Reply back, and let’s chat and go from there. WM, 51

This connection is missed (Chesapeake)

To have dinner with someone who is genuinely interested and chat about the things that you’re passionate about. Having someone you can trust and setting your insecurities aside , and just being yourself. Not being afraid to fail or being scared of rejection… because you know the other person would never judge you. Not having to chase someone … because they aren’t constantly testing you. It would be so nice to have that ONE great friend who I could confide in , someone that would understand me… and me understand you. In reality —I’m searching for a best friend. Someone who is loyal , someone who appreciates my flaws , someone who sees my imperfections as… perfection. I’m attractive and fit , funny yet practical. Chemistry comes naturally ,could you be the one ?

Golds Gym (Colonial Heights)

To the guy in orange shoes who comes in morning, WOW! U kinda remind me of Prince Royce. Cant wait to see u at gym again. 

I Drove You In My Car (Henrico West Broad Street Area)

So, gorgeous white male with the dark hair, did I misread our mutual interest?….I am a female to weed out the majority on here who are males looking for other males. Believe it or not, there are some heterosexual people still around. Merry Christmas to all.

Erin’s Smile (Newport News)

She comes into taco bell on Mercury in the colliseum area a lot. Her smile could light up the darkest heart. She’s beautiful too.

C (22901)

Please just tell me you’re ok.

Starbucks (West salem)

To the individual who paid for my starbucks this morning…THANK YOU.. it was at 11:47 this morning. Tell me the amount you paid and the car you was driving. Would love to chat… M for Female..

Nelson County Automobile Accident on New Year’s Eve (2012?) ((River Rd) Rt. 6 – between 151 and 29)

Several years ago on New Year’s Eve (2012?), around 1AM, there was a single-vehicle automobile accident in Nelson County on River Rd (Rt. 6 between 151 and 29). A small SUV ran off the road and hit a tree, injuring the driver. There were no other occupants. I was the first person to stop, and stayed until rescue workers took over. If anyone recognizes this event, I’m curious about the driver and her recovery. 

We met on a rainy night in short pump (Short pump)

We met on a rainy night in a parking lot of a sporting goods store in short pump. My email screwed up and I can’t get back into my account ….I hope you haven’t moved on. We made out in a parking lot and moved the car somewhere else and I still regret not putting it in….I hope you see this,this is how we found each other.

PetSmart (Chester)

I’m looking for the female that was in PetSmart today. White attractive female. In the store between 10-2. If its you let me know. I was attracted to you. I’ll let you know who I was when you respond. 

PA Rec Center, Swimmer (Virginia beach)

We always see each other in the locker room and exchange glances … you are a swimmer in your STeam and I would say Hi. Tell me what class of speedo I always use and what is the team name

Car salesman

I bought a used car today from you today. You are a very sexy woman and i would like to hook up with u one night. If you see this, tell me the car i bought so i know its you. You are a ravens fan.

Food Lion (Outside powhatan)

You were grabbing a few items, in express lane. You dropped an item I picked it up and put it on the counter. We made small talk. You were jokingly flirty bud I was being serious. You had on your work gear. If you see this say hi.

Blond at short pump kroger (Short pump va)

We made eye contact in the water isle a few times and after that. You had on black leggings and had an amazing figure, earring in your nose. Very attractive lady.! I was the male you made eye contact with and smiled at. Describe me so I know it was you. Would love to know more about you and your figure.

UVA Primary Care Thursday 12/19 (Charlottesville)

We passed in the lobby, you were watching me watching you; was that a glint in your eyes or just a reflection of the spark in mine? We both smiled, and you certainly brightened my morning. I’m the grey-beard with the walking stick. Would like to actually meet you if you’re interested. If not, then I can understand and respect that, and thank you for the moment. 

Best of VA Missed Connections October 23 – October 29

RVA Staff | October 29, 2019

Topics: Ashland, Best of craigslist, Central Virginia, Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, missed connections, Norfolk, Petersburg, richmond, RVA missed connections, virginia, Virginia Beach

Halloween’s almost here, but this week Missed Connections is more about kicking dope rhymes than it is about costumery. If you can come up with a more creative couplet than one that pairs “beautiful” with “cuticles,” you just might find the hottie of your dreams.

Sexist stereotypes and extremely obvious marijuana references won’t win anyone anything except maybe a call from a narc, but painting secret-admirer mash notes on rocks and leaving them at your crush’s front door certainly might get you some attention. Meanwhile, it might be time to sweep the bathroom floor — the remnants of last week’s haircut seem to have attained sentience, and are making debatably threatening Craigslist posts about you.

If all else fails, maybe you can cure your loneliness at Kroger. If nothing else, it’s objectively the best grocery store chain in the city, so you’ll at least be able to get some good deals on produce.

Snack hard, Virginia.

The time is 4:20 (Stafford, VA)

Where are you Mr. Green?? The time is 4:20…Do you know what I mean? Extra for delivery

Lyft Rider-You were a witch

Saturday night. you and a friend were witches. You are the WM. Remember me?

What is it about?

Crazy women that make them lousy in relationships but the best in bed?

JJ1CZ (Costco)

One HOT MAMA, wished we could have spoken

Liv works at samsclub col. Hghts (Colonial heights)

I think your name tag said Liv. But you work at Sam’s Club you look incredible. Jaw dropping incredible I just wanted to let you know. Even though I am sure you already know that. If you happen to read this hope it brightens your day.

Your your the voice inside my head (Virgina beach)

I miss you, now I am acting like a punk clinching the tissue. We said I was just for fun, no attachment or trying to get serious. Then I got to know you, and you intrigued me being so mysterious. Things happen and everything got so delirious so I am trying to reach back to you because my heart is searching so furious. We use skate and make love I would always give you back rubs. Holding you nice and tight, maybe once day me and you can once again see a sunset cause you are my sunlight. You know who you are beautiful message me so I can get all up in your cuticles.

Sorry to disturb you friday (Innsbrook)

Sorry about that. Friday I was having my lunch in my work parking lot out near capital one and parked in the back to eat. Didn’t realize anyone was in the car but I saw the two of you climb up from the back seat and you took off. Sorry to be a blocker!

Walmart

Have you stopped thinking about me yet? I saw you watching me the whole time despite being with someone else.

Split ends (Ok)

Cut.
Cut me off.
Trim me down.
Look at me laying
On the floor.
Powerless.
Sweep me
Into you pan,
And look at me
One last time
Before you tilt
Your wrist
To banish me.
Deplorable.
Wash away the
Rest of me
And start
New.

“Love Rock” (Chesapeake)

On Wednesday October 23rd, a stone painted white on the top and words written in purple, red, and gold was found on top of my mailbox. I’m aware that rocks are passed around randomly all the time in this community with cute messages on them. I find really small ones around work once in a while. Except this time, I don’t believe it was from a stranger. They obviously knew where I lived. I believe the rock was a message for me. I am not sure whether to pass it on or find the person that left it. It is a mystery to me that I want to solve. I believe it was a message of love. If it was you or you know who it was, please reach out and give me an answer. I have never received anything like this before in my life, obviously this is a special and unique gift. My heart wants an answer. I need to find out why they have left it for me. This rock is more like a stone that was from my own garden or someplace by the water. It’s about 3-4 inches long and has some weight to it. The following words were written on it:

“Your love is golden!”

Girl dancing in the yellow beetle (Ashland, VA)

You were so cute dancing in your car. I tried to get your eye, but we were going about 85 on the interstate. I’m staying in Ashland, VA tonight but don’t live in the Richmond area. Just wanted to let you know how good your energy felt. Made me put on some music and dance myself. 😉

Were you driving a new or old beetle?

Kroger m4w (Short pump)

Was that a connection? We kept sharing looks. I wanted to talk to you but you kept driving after leaving store. What was I wearing?

Kroger

You had glasses. Black shirt. Hair in a ponytail off to the side. Tattoo on your left arm. Very pretty woman. You were at the doors talking to employees. I was the guy at customer service. Kinda stared at you.

The Pulse Bus (Willow Lawn)

You were the short haired blond woman with four friends on the Pulse bus today around noon. You got off at Willow Lawn. You are smoking hot. I wanted to say something to you but I didn’t want to interrupt the conversation you were having with your friends.

I’d like to have a cup of coffee or a cocktail with you.

Tell me what had on.

Like skin girl working at Pizza Hut (Hopewell)

I wanted to ask for your number but I don’t usually like asking while someones at work. But here I am regreting not asking. Tell me what’s on the screen.

Orange shoes & sweater, camel silvers and a little pick up at WaWa

WaWa W. Broad-

You were wearing orange tennis shoes and an orange sweater. You bought camel silvers, complimented my shirt and drove off in a little pick up truck. You are SO cute.! Hope to hear back.

April at Wawa (Fredericksburg Virginia)

Hoping you might see this we talk this morning you said you was getting off in 15 minutes I said jump in the little white truck I’ll take you home like to talk with you more

Golds Gym Swiftcreek- Colorful pant… wears a hat

You are a blonde WF… I typically see you early morning. I’m typically leaving as you come in. I noticed you looking at me while you were on the stairmaster. What do I look like? 😉

Walmart (Sheila lane)

I helped you at the self checkout. You have beautiful hair … well…beautiful everything. If your interested in grabbing some food, go for a walk or catch a movie , let me know. To know its you, tell me how i helped.

American Family Sauna

Richmond Airport

I asked if you were lost.. and you said?

Saucys (Petersburg)

We had a good convo the other night and would like to grab a drink sometime. I should have said something at the time but by the time I went to you were leaving.

Best Of VA Missed Connections October 16 – October 22

RVA Staff | October 22, 2019

Topics: Best of craigslist, Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, hanover, henrico, missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, RVA missed connections, Virginia Beach

Welcome to Missed Connections, where flirting always seems to equal awkwardness. But we all want to find companionship and happiness — so sometimes there’s no choice but to keep the awkwardness going. If you are prepared to deal with a little bumbling in pursuit of true love, maybe the Missed Connections will work out for you!

This week, we’ve got at least one Missed Connection that seems like it was published before the poster had a chance to finish their thought — where were you going with that hair dye story? We’ve also got plenty of fall themes; warm drinks, pumpkin patches, and Halloween parties. And at least one of our winners this week sure sounds like a sugar daddy who’s ready to spread the wealth — even if you’re wearing sweatpants. Eep.

Now that the temperatures are dropping, people aren’t out and about quite as much, but this week’s Missed Connections demonstrates that the bigtime cold-weather meeting spot is gonna be the to-go counter. Whether you’re waiting for a pizza, coffee, or a McRib (it’s back!), you might just find love before your food arrives. So don’t rely on UberEats too much, lest you end up nesting alone all winter.

Stay warm, Virginia.

You picked up your car today (Mechanicsville)

Maybe a long shot, but… you picked up your car today and admitted to flirting awkwardly. Maybe we can keep the awkwardness going?

pink and blue (richmond, VA)

I’m naturally a brunette, but lately I’ve been having fun dying my hair funky colors such as purple, pink and blue

What I miss (Chesapeake)

What I miss—
Your smile. It lit up every time we met.
Your hair. The way it fell in front of your eyes when you spoke to me. Even though it changed colors each time I saw you 🙂
Your laugh. It was intoxicating.
Your voice. It was mesmerizing as I listened to every word you said.
Your determination. You always tried your best even when things didn’t go your way.
And I miss knowing you were mine… and I miss knowing I was YOURS even more.

Michigan Ciara at Aroma’s (Williamsburg)

We met waiting for your hot apple cider and my Mocha at 2:00 pm at Aroma’s. It was such a delight to speak to you and share interests. I walked over to food counter, and then watched you say goodbye and you walked out the door. My heart sank, and I moved quickly to the door only to find a empty street. A rare chance to meet a soul mate occurs when we least expect it and sometimes an imbalance of time alters the outcome. I would love to turn back time to the beverage counter and I never left it until I had asked you to have lunch with me. I am very sorry I missed that opportunity. Will you give me a second chance?

Snead pumpkin patch saturday

I was waiting for grandson to finish swing in barn upstairs and was leaning against concrete silo. You pretty female looked very unhappy. Had a wagon with 5 or 6 pumpkins in it and you were sitting on bench. You locked onto me once and thats what made me do this ad. What color hat and hoodie was I wesring? I can help you out

Remember camp? (Richmond)

We worked together a couple of summers at a camp so long ago in NC. We were the only two black males. I was so lost back then, low confidence, didn’t know how to communicate. But I was always at least infatuated. I thought you were good looking, intelligent, and had the best calves. I’m sure you are a great teacher nowadays.

I’ll be in your town next week on business and will ask you if you want to have a no pressure meal and drink. It would be great to just catch up. But it’s been a long time and I’m still curious, wondering if maybe you felt the same way?

If you should see this, please reach out. No pressure and no awkwardness, I promise.

Waiting on pizza

Had a conversation with you at chase rice while waiting for pizza. Thought you were beautiful and wanted to continue ….

Younger tall white guy waiting for your food at McDonald’s (Mechanicsville)

You were a younger tall slim white guy waiting for your food in McDonald’s in Mechanicsville .. I thought you were really cute….hmu if you see this

Saw you at wal mart

Saw you at wal mart on sheila lane yesterday oct17. You were a blondish red head white coat. Looking for a hemi cable in the electronics section I believe. Thought you were gorgeous. I was at the talking at the desk. Wish I would have a chance to chat with you. You probably wont see this but if you do I’d love to get to know you.

Walmart Market (Waynesboro)

You are tall and had an Acadia National Park t-shirt on today at the Walmart Market in Waynesboro. We made eye contact while I waited for a white pickup to pass so I could leave my parking space. I should have asked if you were single. Want to grab a beer?

Whole Food Brunette (West End)

I introduced myself to you after you checked out. You know who you are! I still would love to have a drink with you.

You are beautiful!!

you = pretty young Asian woman in Boychix Monday afternoon (Short Pump)

I know this is almost impossible – but Im trying to reach a very attractive young Asian woman who had a late lunch in Boychix Monday afternoon Oct 14

You were with a group of 8 or 10 people . . . . . wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants, yet still looked great ! I was sitting alone, and you walked by and smiled at me twice. I would LOVE to hire you for part time work in real estate, or just hang out for fun and take you shopping !!

If you happen to see this, please contact me – THANKS

Met you at a Halloween Party Tonight 10/19 (CHARLOTTESVILLE)

I met you tonight at a Halloween party thrown by Parks and Rec. I was standing along the wall watching my brother and we met and talked at length. You were a beautiful Asian girl that goes to UVA. What costume were you wearing? If you can answer that I’ll know it’s really you. I wish I got your number because I didn’t want to leave you.

White Jetta tsi (Mechanicsville)

You were wearing a beautiful black dress today. I run into you every once in a while and I never have the chance to say you’re sexy.

Aflac girl at Goodwill (Chesapeake)

I can’t stop thinking about you. Crazy beautiful.

Remember it’s heaven in the shoe department.

Let’s meet sometime.

Thrift store laughs

You bought a funny item and everyone got a laugh. I liked your sense of humor and you seemed fun. Coffee?

CD missed meeting at thrift store (Chesapeake)

You were the older gentleman, i think in his 60’s, that said will go with me to thrift store since i am shy to pick some feminine clothing, you said you have experience in picking clothes for a man, i am the mature man that only cross dresses indoors since do not pass, hope you see this ad and call again for a meeting at thrift store, i can afford thrift store clothing not expensive stores.

Best Of VA Missed Connections July 17 – July 23

Congratulations to everyone who managed to survive the intense heat of the past week! If you’re still here, you’ve got a return to the massive downpours of the previous year and a half to look forward to, so uh… congratulations? Before we worry about all that, though, we can dive into this week’s Missed Connections and see what sort of intense romantic heat was generated over this apocalyptically hot weekend.

All the barefoot boys down at the beach have definitely drawn out some oddballs, but the people who come out for a bad-movie podcast might be even odder — in the very best way, of course. Shout-outs as well to the champagne snobs slumming it at the Cheesecake Factory; veuve cliquot and tiramisu is the ultimate in middlebrow bliss, am I right? That said, we’ve even got some Missed Connections for those of us living that Mickey D’s drive-thru life… whether we want to admit it or not.

Gotta say, though, some of y’all seem to think you can still reference “looking for Mary Jane” on Craigslist without anyone catching on to what you’re up to. Newsflash: the cops are everywhere on the internet — ask anyone who’s tried to book a house show in the past 15 years.

Loose lips sink ships, Virginia.

Browns Island (Richmond)

Trying to connect with the guy I briefly talked to on Brown’s Island recently. Talked about doing a bike ride or run sometime, but didn’t have a way to get your number. Felt like there was some definite interest. If you see this respond to me, maybe we can work something out.

The wolf at the grocery store 

You were an alpha among all the townie betas. A warrior after a workout.

I saw you last night but you didn’t see me. I would’ve become a puddle. omg

If no one can match you, I can. f4m

Dark Bae Badass 😉 (South side Area)

Wanna Go Skinny Dipping But Don’t know where hmmm lol the funny thing is what will it be that I run and jump on email me so that I could find out 😉

Barefoot guy$ at river (James River) 

Guy$ Walking barefoot at the river, you had very nice feet. Would like to wor$hip them. Hit me up. 

Buttercup (Colonial Heights) 

I miss you buttercup! I told all the secrets and you told all lies…can we call it even? 

Dolphins

Love and Miss you.

B…

Tattooed girl at the Lyndhurst country store (Lyndhurst)

I was there buying sodas in a uva ball cap. You were the cute tattooed blonde in the low cut tee. If you see this tell me what kind of sodas I got. I’d love to know more about you. Maybe I can come back and talk to you when you’re not busy?

Looking for Mary Jane (Carytown) 

I’m anxious without my friend Mary Jane. Hoping to find her anywhere. If you’ve seen her, please reach out. I’m in Carytown. Namaste.

Man in bright blue Jeep with no sides wearing scrubs (Henrico) 

To the man in the bright blue Jeep with no sides wearing scrubs- thank you so much for tossing my beagle a treat through the window while we were caught in 64 traffic tonight. You made our day! Wish there were more people like you! P.S. She did eat it when we got home 🙂

Girl walking dog near the Wharf/Boathouse (RVA) 

You are a stunner. Saw you look back several times and smiled. 1 a million shot you read this and get back with me, but i am definitely interested 

WaWa Weiner Dog with cute female Master (Suffolk)

On the slight chance I caught that smile correctly, the answer is yes….. yes I would love to have a nice evening of wine, maybe dinner if that gets more time with that smile.

VMFA (Richmond va) 

I know this site can be a shady place to post but i didn’t know how else i might reach you. 

You were at the VMFA today and I held the door for you as we went in and we spoke a few times. I’d like to take you out. I know I should have said something then. If this is you tell me what i was wearing and what we went to see. Or better yet what you told me about the moon. 

Note: If this isn’t you please don’t respond. I am not looking for some cheap hookup.

Lisa at HDTGM (Richmond) 

You were near where I sat and you got up to ask a question. You are glorious.

Squirrels game (RVA) 

July 19 male here….. I saw you. You saw me. We made eye contact. I thought you were hot (literally) and beautifully stunning. Get into something some time?

P F Changs (Richmond) 

Was dining Sunday night. You have dark hair, fresh cut w/ a side part, white and about 5′ 8″. Nice dark beard. Caught me looking at you as you waited tables nearby. You’ve waited on us before. Would like to meet for discreet connection.

You ordered veuve cliquot at Cheesecake Factory (Short pump mall)

You must have been on a date, but she didn’t seem very interested. I however couldn’t help but notice your impeccable taste!

Chipotle (Chester) 

I was in Chipotle the other day and I held the door for you, you were wearing red scrubs.

I think you’re very beautiful and I would love to get to know you.

Please respond to me and let me know if you need anything

McDonald’s drive through (Hopewell)

Went through the drive through at the McDonald’s next to shoneys around 1030 sunday night you were the cute older woman taking the money. You commented on my long hair, would really like to get a drink or something. Hit me up and tell me what sticker I had on my car. 

Grey Mustang (Mechanicsville)

Saw you at 7-11 across from Mechanicsville Kroger. You had on black shorts and t-shirt.

You glanced at me sitting in my car waiting for someone. Hit me back

White Bentley on Woolridge Rd

Saw you driving the white bentley Thursday evening on Woolridge Rd. You were in the middle of the road construction backup. Very nice.

Radley Chevy (Fred) 

Your name was Gena I believe. You were smoking & we said hello. I got out of my truck & we talked about your recent trip to Jamaica. I could barely concentrate, your beautiful curves had me distracted. I’d love to chat some more….what was I driving or looked like?

Uber driver (yeah maybe this is dumb haha) (Richmond)

You gave me a ride to work downtown this morning and I felt like we both kind of wanted to keep talking but obviously you had to go and there’s no non-awkward way to exchange contact info or anything. If you felt the same way, I’d love to talk some more :).

Re:uber passenger (Henrico) 

I think may have been me. Was it late, out past Parham? 

Fatigue dress beauty Tom leanords farmers market (Short pump)

I saw you twice we made eye contact. Wanted to come say high you moved fast. I’m sure if you see this you know who I am. Tell me something about myself would love to talk to you. Hope you see this. 

Old Town Last Thursday

We met in Old Town listening to DA. I was with my friend Mr. G. you were there with two friends. I was actually into you, you probably didn’t think so. Near the end of the night one of your friends was getting down I tried to cheer them up. You probably think I was interested in them, your other friend did. I doubt you’ll see this, but thought I’d give it a shot.

Mark ( lowe’s lighting dept.) (Bon air)

Mark

Best Of VA Missed Connections July 3 – July 9

RVA Staff | July 9, 2019

Topics: Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, RVA missed connections, Virginia Beach

I don’t know what it is about this summer, but a lot of people seem to have the post-Fourth Of July blues in the Missed Connections this week. Lovelorn poetry, bitter goodbyes, and solitary laments are thick on the ground in this week’s trawl through the world of Craigslist. But don’t get too sad — there’s plenty of amusing hijinks to keep your attention as well.

For example, we’ve got the guy looking for a TV commercial hottie he met on a cruise… I’d love to hear the full story behind that one. And we’ve got a guy who blew it and forgot to get the girl’s number at FW Sullivan’s — an age-old story we’ve all been part of at least once. Meanwhile, if you like cartoonish metal from Scandinavia and the Far East, someone in the Missed Connections is looking for you! Please forgive those of us who had to google to find out what you were talking about.

We always get the Dr. Seuss references, though.

Get your metal on, Virginia.

OMG Babymetal and Avatar

Could this be a show made in heaven? Who all is going?

You smell nice 

Family dollar on mercury. You passed me a couple times. Your cologne made me notice you. After the leg tattoo. Pulled off in a silver truck. We looked at each other. I see you. 

Not Green Eggs! Sam! (Huntington YMCA) 

Dressed in black. I always notice your pleasant calm demeanor. You are truly a wonderful person. I imagine your parents can’t help but to be very proud of you.

I miss CraigsList (West End)

I miss CraigsList…the Personals section. It wasn’t perfect by any means. I miss the really nice guys I met. Anyone else feel this way? 

Lost best friend (Richmond) 

You were my world, you were my best friend and the love of my life. It is so hard for me to wrap my brain and heart around the fact that you are gone. No, it wasn’t because of death, but because of the choices you made. I don’t even know how to process it all. I wonder if I would feel better if I knew the real reason why or had the answers, but I know you wouldn’t ever give me the respect and closure I deserve.

Last Summer 

I’ve been thinking of last summer and the time I spent with you and the fun we had. I still think about you everyday. I miss you very much and I’m sorry things didn’t work out. Sometimes I feel I made the wrong choice. I want to talk to you and give you closure but I’m sure at this point you don’t need or want it. I wish friendship was an option for us but I’d end up getting myself in trouble. Just something about you.

Hope this summer is treating you well.

Do I Love or Hate you (Chester) 

My heart and head can’t decide whether I should love or hate you. You literally put me through hell emotionally. Every memory or thought I have feels tainted by deception. Everything you put me through says that you never loved me, yet I still think you will show up at my door and end this nightmare. I know this change is gonna take time, but you were my life and now I really don’t know what to do. 

50’s to 60’s man at Depot (Midlothian) 

I told you I liked your glasses. 

I would like to buy you a beer sometime.

Young woman with double labret piercings (Short Pump) 

Hi, I came into your store the other day and you helped me locate a few items. I thought you were really cute and tried to make you laugh, even succeeded on one occasion. I’m quite a bit older than you so it’s a long shot, but I thought if you were interested we could grab a drink and chat. If so, tell me the name of the store and what I bought from you.

sex and the city (scuffletown)

I feel like we met at the wrong time, I hope one day you see this

I’m looking at the moon
To try and get a glimpse of you
It really does look so beautiful 
I hope you can see it too

Older black man at the music store (Richmond)

I saw you at the music store today and was hoping to introduce myself. I was checking you out and I suspect you knew it. I was the older white guy in the blue shirt and white shorts. I went next door to the other music store and just missed you as you were leaving and was hoping to make an introduction. Please contact me if you think it’s you.

We hung out at FW sullivans (The Fan) 

We hung out a few friday’s ago at FW sullivans, for maybe an hour. I thought we exchanged numbers, but we did not! 🙁 m4w 

Down by the River M4M 

We talked about bikes. If you were sending me a signal tell me what you said and I’ll tell you what you were doing.

FAST FIT TV COMMERCIAL (Hampton Roads)

To the woman on the FAST FIT commercial. We were both on a Bahama’s cruise out of Norfolk in May. We made eye contact several times and I felt a connection. Me… wm, mid-50’s, in good shape.

Would love to actually talk to you.

Trader Joe’s (Charlottesville) 

So you will probably never read this and I’m kicking myself for not saying more to you, but you were my cashier today and you had the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. You’re name began with a B and I would love to get to know you more… I was wearing a gray shirt and glasses.

Saw you at Colonial Heights Publix (Colonial Heights) 

I saw you there in the frozen food isle all dressed in your black dress. Then I found you near the pharmacy and i walked over there to see if you would follow and you went to the next isle….i passed in front of you.

I wanted to talk to you….you are about the sexiest thing i have seen in a long while.

I would love to get close to you.

Please say hi.
