Best of VA Missed Connections October 23 – October 29

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

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-

April at Wawa (Fredericksburg Virginia)

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

We were in the sauna at the same time, made eye connection several times. Can provide more details and description. Both WM. Email me.

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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)

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. 

Devo 

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) 

em

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. 

Food lion (Montpelier) 

I always see you in food lion I’m in there frequently you work there you are dark skin tall female about 21-28 I don’t know your name but I always try to get your attention when your working if you see this I know it’s a long shot but maybe it will work

Girl in purple scrubs (holland rd kroger) 

We were both attempting to get gas but pumps weren’t working.Your demeanor was so friendly and your wave as you drove away was so enthusiastic i thought (maybe) if you see this please email me.i’d like to talk or get coffee whatever suits you.

It’s another week of Missed Connections from around the state, and this time around it brings us a lesson: sometimes it’s best to come straight out and tell people who you are and what you want. Like if you’re a soccer mom who wants to buy some weed for those long late mornings when the kids are out of the house. Or if you work in a warehouse and just want to serenade that cute co-worker. And of course if you’re having cute shy encounters with ladies at the OTB. Our message to you: go get em, tiger!

We’ve also got some fun ones from people who may or may not have been in Richmond punk bands 25 years ago (Social Violence, is that you?), and photographers looking for their subjects. We’ve got optimists at Domino’s and pessimists at Starbucks. And of course we’ve got your Friday Cheers Missed Connections as always. No Wawa this week, though — their streak is finally broken.

Get those snacks, Virginia.

Soccer Mom wants to meet you at 4:20 

Yes. I really am a soccer mom and I want to buy weed.

You liked Punk Rock (Henrico) 

Love your dream locations and the fact you like mythical creatures… that are real of course 🙂

Hope our paths cross again someday … 

Only girl ever to have a orange mohawk 20 years ago 

Tina. It’s C. R.

You cycled into my photograph (Fan) 

You stopped and talked with me about what I was photographing. You had red sneakers, dark pants and a sleeveless light green shirt or light jacket (I know because you’re in my photo). I wish we could talk some more…

a co worker (fredericksburg) 

hey there, we work together in a warehouse setting. you have a beautiful smile. I sang a song and you said it got stuck in your head. Tell me what the song was and we can chat some more.

Lady at Rosie’s (Richmond) 

You were the lady in all black, standing in front of the members benefits line about 230 pm. You smiled at me and made eye contact. I smiled back but looked at the floor, embarrassed.

I should’ve stopped and talked to you. Email me if you get this.

Home Team Grill (Nuckols and Twin Hickory) 

Younger male here, just sending cheers to all the lovely people and drinking crowds, let’s keep this neighborhood bar jumping! 

Who’s going today?

Wednesday at The Grill (Patterson Ave) 

You were working, clearing tables, running food. Blondish hair, jean shorts. Thought you were very attractive and hated to leave. Would love to chat if you are single and interested.

Optimistic lady at Dominos (Newport News) 

I’ve seen you twice now and each time you’ve made me smile. 

Would you like to meet officially? I’m not even sure you’ll see this message, but I’m hoping you do 🙂

Starbucks lynnhaven (Va beach) 

You were in a blue Mazda riding passenger with a friend, you had curly hair and kept looking back at me in my truck. You looked really cute what color was my truck and where was I parked. You’ll probably never see this.

You came to my brother’s work 

He said you were asking if I was okay and that we used to be together. How’d you know who my brother is anyways? If by some chance you read these, tell me how else he could describe you so i know it’s you

Women with Orange shirt and overalls dress? (Friday cheers) 

I just saw you an hour ago at Friday Cheers. I don’t even know why, but I want to talk to you. Not in a weird way. 

You : 40 something. You have a nose ring, boots and a had your hair up with a stick. 

HMU if you like conversation. 

Great swimmer (VB) 

girl you had some moves in the pool! describe what I was wearing and doing. I should’ve asked for a few lessons..

Walmart Delivery (Fredericksburg) 

I delivered your groceries today but thought it might be inappropriate to ask if you were single and wanted to hang out. If you see this and you’re interested, let me know. If you see this and your not interested, pretend you didn’t see this so it won’t be weird if I deliver for you again. I know I’m not as fit as you are but I am working on it. You are very beautiful and of course your apt smelled amazing again!!!

Buford Road Pharmacy (Bon Air) 

I’ve posted here before but I’m trying again. You work at Buford Road Pharmacy. You have dark brown/reddish hair, curly hair, usually in a ponytail, and really pretty blue eyes. I haven’t seen you in about two months. I keep looking for you. I can’t get you out of my head. I will keep trying.

At the TR concert you said my camera… (Richmond) 

What a great show! You and your friend thought the guy with the cameras could get you back stage. When I told you I could not, you said the cameras made me look sexy… :). I took a couple pics of you and your friend, gave you each a card… the pics are available! Sorry I could not get you in to see the big guy, but you both made my night! 

Wine Tasting (Charlottesville) 

Liked our meeting at the winery. You were with a group of friends and wanted your picture taken. You held your group up because you had to apply some lipstick before the picture. I found that so sexy. You said you were from a Richmond and I mentioned my home town and you knew where it was in Maryland. I know you probably won’t read this but if you do write me back your smile inferred the attraction was mutual. 

My Lady 

Looking for that woman I know from school we graduated in the late 80’s. Zip 23111 Name starts with any letter. We watched Calabash Seafood being built. Contact me to talk about old times.

Grace of MCV ER-ADMISSIONS (’97-’99) (MCV HOSPITAL) 

One sharp-witted, black female who worked the evening shifts as my data source for incoming ambulances cases to the Trauma-Medicine units at VCU Hospital. She was “..a true friend to the end.”

Science museum girl (Richmond) 

So I was being bashful but considering the company I was with, I had no choice; you were also there with young kids and we kept running into each other. Really wish I could have stopped and talked because you are so beautiful! Just wanted you to know I was falling over myself looking at you! Hope I run into you again someday

You were my hair stylist (White oak) 

You cut my hair this evening. We talked about all kinds of things from cars to jobs and other things. Should of got your number but maybe you’ll see this. If you can remember what I drove let me know so I know it’s you

Kroger Quioccasan (Henrico) 

You were the sexy blonde woman walking down the chips/coffee isle this morning around noon, we locked eyes twice and smiled and I was instantly attracted to you. Let me know what I was wearing if this was you.

Best Of VA Missed Connections June 19 – June 25

|

Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

If you’re looking for love in all the wrong places, take heart — you just might find it in the Missed Connections. We’ve got a bumper crop for you, from those seeking their only true love to those who really just need a shower.

This week’s column also produced the most relatable Missed Connection I’ve seen all year — the person who thought the guy checking them out might be doing so because they’re ugly. I know the feel, friend.

But I don’t know why anyone would be looking for the stranger who offered them a ride in the middle of the night. Maybe I’ve seen too many horror movies, but if it were me, I’d just be glad I got away.

Anyway, it’s another hot week, so get your showers lined up now, Virginia, and keep on looking for love!

Super hot today .. I need a shower today (Glen Allen) 

This has been a super hot day.. I need a nice hot shower.. my shower is still not working. If you can help out that would be great. Must have a towel also. Email me ASAP!!! I’m a white male 33 

You can watch I don’t care.. lol

Cute guy at Babes last night (Carytown) 

On Friday night, I saw you dancing at Babes and we made eye contact a few times. You were wearing a baseball hat on backwards and had on a light blue button up shirt with short sleeves. I was the super sweaty guy in the floral shirt and khaki shorts who got really into Back That Azz Up yet was feeling too shy at the time to say hi. 

Now I’m hungover and regret not trying to talk or dance with you. You were real cute.

Midlo Walmart 

I’ve seen you a few times around Midlothian and Chesterfield in general. Nice truck and love the cowboy hat. You’re not too tall, but I’m short, so everyone seems tall. Dark hair, couldn’t tell eye color as I’ve never gotten close enough. If you may be that guy who has noticed a lady looking your way and you are not attached, it would be nice to talk and see if we have similar interests🙋‍♀️🤠👩‍🌾🐾🌳🌻🍉🌽🏖🏡🚜🛶
