Best Of VA Missed Connections July 31 – August 6

|

Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

It’s summertime — time to be at the pool, time to get your car washed, time to try your luck at the Missed Connections. This week’s crop is sure to hit home if you’ve ever been ghosted without warning… and haven’t we all at one point or another?

We’ve also got some car-related Missed Connections this week, with cell phone addicts at Carpool and water signs at Pep Boys. Really, you’d think the water sign would be at the Carpool… but then, astrology’s never really lived up to the hype in my experience.

We’ve also got people beating the heat and finding summertime crushes at the pool, people who are fortunate enough to be able to afford to eat at Sushi King alone (it’s strictly a special-occasion place for me, but I sure wish I could afford to go there every day for lunch), and people meeting up at Virginia Center Commons mall. Years ago, of course… nobody goes to that mall in 2019; most of the stores aren’t even occupied.

Maybe that’s where people go when they ghost.

Smoking outside of the sandwich shop (Gayton Crossings) 

You are the woman with green hair, wearing sunglasses…. You gave me a nod as I drove by at about 5:30….. Maybe?

Pretty in Pink (Lancaster Gate Drive, Midlothian) 

You were walking your little dog today and slowed your pace as you approached. Guess you saw me nearly drop my phone. I almost laughed and you smiled. That outfit blew me away. You stunned me into a Heaven mode. Can i buy you a drink, dinner or make you dinner?

Missed D from PR USA (Midlothian)

Introduced to a beautiful woman and you disappeared. Thought there might’ve been something. We’ll never know if we don’t try. I cant reach you, but you can reach me.

Nicole (Crazyland) 

I’ve never dealt with someone so hasty. After chatting nonstop, making out, sharing LOTs in common, you just bolt after a.. week. Weak? Yeah.

One day, maybe youll stop micro-analyzing every guy you meet and get real. I don’t see that happening though. See ya at the river!

-Lame guy

Lynn Evans (Richmond)

Lynn my man I need you back. I have walked far and wide. I miss you bubby. So there’s a saying “there’s a stranger in your house ” 

Sexy Sandbridge Trans Girl (Sandbridge) 

Saw you out at Little Island Beach, up near the Back Bay Fence Sunday afternoon. Sexy blonde trans girl. Taking pics out in the surf. Tanning up on the beach. You looked incredible in, and out, of that two piece bikini. Love to see you again, on the beach, or not!

Where are you, Kimberly? (Richmond)

You once said: “I’m here but most men are full of drama………….”

Email me if still looking

Sierra at Tazza (Richmond)

You were my server Tues 7/30 night at about 6:30/ 7pm, I sat at a bar top facing away from the bar. Your name is Sierra and you are amazing and I cant stop thinking about you!

Girl in blue dress (Fredericksburg)

You were coming into the bank today. I was walking down the stairs. You had on a blue dress and an absolutely gorgeous smile!!!! Wow!!!! I really really really hope I get to see it again soon. If you happen to see this and want to set up a time to show it to me I would love that. Or at least come visit again

Cute guy Sushi King South side (South side) 

Super cute attractive guy sat Alone eating sushi next table over from me. You had tattoos light grey t-shirt and a beard. I keep looking over at you and wanted to invite you over to eat with me and my friend, regret not asking. When you left we made eye contact and smiled at each other. Love to learn more about you! Christine

Sr. Gentleman (South Stafford) 

Met U at Wawa as we were both getting coffee. U started some conversation w/ me. My gay-dar picked up that we could be a good match. We had some more conversation and I gave U a card w/ my email address. I’m still hoping to hear from U..

Capital Ale House- Main St (7/29) F for M (Richmond)

We locked eyes briefly as I walked in towards the back & went downstairs. I think it was around 645pm?

You were dressed in a white button up with a tie (blue & yellow I think) sitting in a booth across from two other guys. 

You’re really handsome & have beautiful blue eyes. 

Wish I had gotten a chance to talk to you. 

If you see this, email me & tell me what I was wearing or what I look like. 🙂 

ybm at carpool (Mechanicsville) 

You were at carpool today around 1pm. You went outside to use your phone. I watched you as you sat on the outside bench. Contact me and let’s see what’s up.

chamberlayne years ago (Henrico)

Tall dude with dreads went by the name L we met at vcc mall years ago.. I have some of your old things! Anyone can let me know of his whereabouts or info I’m sure he’d be happy! 😉

I had a dream (Patterson/henrico) 

Seems like I still miss you. When will it end. 

Pep boys

Looking for a tall dark male I met while getting my car repaired. He was a water sign and we had a great conversation. I believe he was in his 30’s and worked for Uber part time.

The Daily Restaurant (Carrytown) 

Sat next to your table… I was eating with my friend who was a girl. You were sitting with a younger boy child, and were with another girl and maybe your Mother. You were so pretty with big brown eyes and brown hair. I wanted to talk to you. Hope you see this.

Hot girl working at Deep Run Roadhouse

You were wearing eyeliner, shorts that were just right. You’re very attractive. It’d be cool to go out with you one day.

Lowe’s at Lombardy (Richmond)

Saw you at Lowe’s yesterday around lunchtime, didn’t get a chance to talk but would love to connect. You’re a nice looking guy, dark hair, well dressed, ball cap. It might be a long shot but if you see this please respond. 

7-11 on Cary St (Richmond) 

I didn’t get your name but I helped you out with gas at 4am on Saturday. You were driving a Lexus Rx. Maybe I can take you out some time. 

Tiffany in Petersburg (Petersburg)

The last time I saw you was at the motel at 95 & Reams. I was driving a Chevy Trailblazer and I used to drive a big white Ford truck. Please respond if you still around. 

Hardy wood west creek (Richmond)

Handsome white male that will be at hardywood west creek for happy hour. Maybe find a pretty woman to join me for a drink at hardywood and then a drink at my place?

Beer connection (Cville) 

I was giving a beer tasting at a local store last weekend. I served you a flight. With a wink, you indicated that beer would just be a start to slaking your thirst. I’d be interested to know just what you meant.

You: Ginger bear, but graying; tall.
Me: About your age; short haircut; horned rimmed glasses. 

Raven (Richmond Southside)

Hello. We met at the pool yesterday. You said my child swam well. I immediately was drawn to your smile and warm demeanor. I’m a single father. You seemed to be a single mother. Had a great time chatting with you and I’m very curious to learn more about you. You said your name was Raven. I def have a crush : )

Birthday month (Richmond) 

Your Birthday is right around the corner. Wish we could just talk. I miss hearing your voice. We both made mistakes. Please reach out to me…let’s go walk in the park and talk.

Your job and your family keep you in the closet 

I get that. And I don’t mind being your secret. Honestly, I want you to be my secret, too.

What I mind is that you disappeared with no explanation. Years have gone by and I still wonder if I did something wrong or if it was just all you and the pressures of your daily life. You never said. You never even said you were going to stop texting and shut down all communication. You just disappeared.

I felt a real connection to you. Even though our lives are very different, it seemed like we understood each others’ tension, loneliness, need for privacy coupled with a need for companionship and deeper connection. Not to mention the physical connection. We were just getting started on that when you evaporated.

If you had just given any kind of reason for dropping me, I could get over it, no matter how personal or hurtful or shallow that reason was. But leaving me hanging is the worst. I’ll never stop questioning, wondering what I might have done differently, whether that be to avoid putting you off or to help you be more comfortable in your own skin. Did you grow to hate me? Or did you hate yourself being with me? I’ll never fucking know, so I’ll never be able to fucking drop it. 

After a while, I got really mad at you. But then I also feel sorry for you.

I just find it hard to believe that I was alone in feeling the strong connection between us, and that you’d just walk away from that without any concern for how I might feel.

I hope you have a happy birthday, when it comes around. I’ll never not think of you then.

If you too have sometimes cast longing looks in the direction of your Uber driver, this will be a very relatable Missed Connections week for you. Because in addition to the time-honored tradition of falling in love with our restaurant servers, this week sees quite a few people getting all twitterpated about their Uber drivers… and sometimes, it seems, the feeling is mutual!

This week also brings us hot biker daddies grabbing cigs at Wawa, people who go grocery shopping in pajamas, and suburban q-tip shoppers, along with multiple dudes who wish a woman would go fishing with them. And of course, a lovely Parisian kiss (which leaves me wondering if I have any idea what that term actually means).

Go fish, Virginia.

Asado early Saturday night

I probably should have asked but you were working and I didn’t want to be that guy. 

Now I’m that guy doing this.

You made an excellent executive beverage decision.

Parisian kiss (Hofheimer Rooftop)

Hofheimer building rooftop. You asked for a Parisian kiss and I kissed your cheek. I didn’t catch your name. Why didn’t you come back? I’m in town for one more day… interested in meeting? 

uber eats driver (northside) 

you had an incredible voice. i’d love to hear it again. tell me your name or where the food was from and let’s talk again please

Uber Passenger (Richmond)

I drove you home Friday night. You were sitting in the back and asked if you could hop in the front with you. I should have asked for your number but I was trying to be professional!

John Cheesecake Factory (Short Pump Towne Center) 

You were an amazing waiter. Not sure if you like men but I was very attracted to you tonight. I knew I heard a Jersey accent. 

Sarah (Short pump) 

Hi Sarah,

You helped me out yesterday and were perfect. I think you might be just as weird as me outside of work. I found myself overly attracted to you and those brown eyes. Then you started quietly singing songs on the radio, rendering me a blubber idiot. 

If you weren’t at work I would have asked you out. Even if it bombed. It would have been worth the chance to at least get to know you.

Hopefully someone caught your eye yesterday, you see this and respond. Now that I say it out loud I realize what a long shot it is. Oh well.

B

Young AA female working at Bow Tie concession stand (RVA) 

Young AA girl smiled at me (middle aged white guy) buying popcorn and drink. You asked how I was doing and I said I was good because I was skipping work. Were you just being polite or was there more to your smile? I thought we made eye contact a few times. If you’re interested, maybe we could meet and I could buy you lunch or something else. 

Starbucks Downtown No Straw (Downtown. Broad St.) 

Thank you for a brief interaction that made my day better. 

Hot Biker Daddy at Wawa Saturday evening (Staples Mill & Parham Rds)

You held the door for me and my imagination has been running wild ever since.

You were wearing a Metallica shirt, bandana, and heavily tattooed. You stopped in for coffee and a cigarette…wish I would have joined you. 

McDonalds’s BRSC (Charlottesville) 

You were working behind the counter as a cashier, Thursday morning at the BRSC McDonald’s. You had your long black hair in a ponytail, if you see this and are available lets chat. I have something very interesting to discuss with you.

Have a great day .. .. .. .. ..

Fishing Lady (Chesapeake Bay and Beyond)

Im looking for a good looking lady to spend some time on the boat fishing with me. 

Boat girl (Vb) 

You used to come see me and we would take the boat out and have some fun, lots of fun! Miss those times and wld like to do again soon while it’s still summertime. We would go out of va beach marina. Let me know some details or where boat was. 

Kroger (Willow Lawn) 

You are tall and pretty, I think a red head… I had on my pajama paints… saw you first when I was grabbing bananas, then we smiled at each other as we walked by each other, but I missed out on talking with you. 

Your eyes melt my heart (Charlottesville area) 

You’re eyes are killer light. You’re a very very attractive man in your 30s and you are married as am I. I know this is a long shot but well worth the attempt. 

I have no idea if you are in the slightest interested…. 

I called you sir and you didn’t like that but you winked at being called sweetie.

Also at bar in Scott’s Addition (Scott’s Addition) 

You were tan tall younger at the bar with an older fellow. Good eye contact. I was with coworkers. If interested reply with name of restaurant and my discription.

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. 

Pink shirt in Petsmart

We actually noticed each other in the parking lot first, then smiled at each other inside the store. You were with a couple people, and had on a pink Myrtle Beach tshirt and blue pants. 

You definitely had a pretty smile and caught my attention. If you happen so see this get in touch. 

Give me some detail so I know it’s you.

Powhatan Walmart Today 5-530pm (Powhatan) 

You were in shampoo aisle with one item in your cart, dark hair, tanned, jeans, sandals (?)and green top, definitely beautiful and no ring that I saw. If you are interested, I walked past you and picked up q-tips and should have said something to you…no one ever accused me of being smart…

It’s that time once again — time for the Missed Connections, where every week we hear from a broad swath of Virginia — the hopeful, the forlorn, and of course, the kiiiinda creepy.

This week, we learn that backyard showers are apparently not just for beach houses anymore — although if you have one, you better stay vigilant, because your neighbors might just be watching. And it seems that in a certain Carytown bar, the jello shots have been flowing like water. Also, we get an introduction to textspeak poetry, which seems like a Generation Z literary movement on the cusp of exploding into full flower.

People are meeting up in all kinds of places this week — cookie factories, urology waiting rooms, and always, always, Wawa. By the way, shout out to the guy who doesn’t ask girls out while they’re working — you’re doing it right.

Get your checkup, Virginia.

Oregon Hill backyard shower

Dude! Just moved into OH and saw you showering in your backyard. Hot! Company? SWM wants to kno.

I need someone who can give me a check up (Midlothian/ Richmond)

Looking for a female or even a male who can give me a full body check.. I don’t like going to a doctors office. So if you have any medical back ground that would be great. Email me ASAP!! Looking for this afternoon if possible

Looking for my hippie Goddess (Norfolk)

So many people who don’t seem to live in the moment and fill their lives with pursuits that only bring stress. I don’t need a big house or a fancy car, a big job title or the trivial things in life. I just need my hippie Goddess to come into my life now that I am finally ready. I’m here for you!

Let’s live our lives in the moment, enjoying the simple things and focusing on what’s truly important in life – Love.

Jello Shots (Babe’s)

We chatted while in line for the back bar. You were ahead of me and bought 10 jello shots, 5 for me and my friends. You wouldn’t let me repay you and then you were gone. I owe you a drink or 5.

Starbucks girl (Richmond)

You work for Starbucks. You’re super friendly with a geeky personality. I like your gray hat. I see you a lot. I don’t know if I’m writing this because I’m sad today or if I like you. I think you might like me.

I don’t ask girls out while they’re working. You should ask me for my number next time I come in.

Can Can Sat 06/01 (Cary St)

Can Can Sat 06/01. You on date, me solo at bar. Locked eyes many times.

Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Auto Show (Montpelier)

You had a sweet Ford Truck that your dad bought. You were sweet enough to make conversation with me and tell me all about it. Sorry that I didn’t make more conversation with you!

If you were only ‘drumming up some votes’, then I won’t seek you out again.
However, if you’re single, available and would like to talk more, let’s!
I’m interested in getting to know you!

Blue eyed Cutie – can’t stop thinking of you (Food Lion Montpelier)

To the cute lady wearing a skull t-shirt and white converse….your laugh and piercing blue eyes paralyzed me. You were there around 3:30 on Friday….tell me what you helped me find so I know it’s you. If this does not work I just have to hope to see you there again.

Female kidney stone patient lost in parking lot (Mechanicsville)

I enjoyed talking with you and your mother as you checked out. I hope you are feeling better. Please let me know

R, works at wawa (Enon)

I see you most mornings. I know I’m not your type but you seem like an interesting person. Lets grab a drink or dinner and get to know each other.

Wawa Yummy milkshake (N Chesterfield)

M4w Was in Wawa on Thursday afternoon getting a milkshake and you very seductively said “ yummy”. When I said I can’t wait to taste it I was more thinking that about you.

You were an older sexy woman wearing white athletic leggings. You looked damn sexy and totally had my attention the whole time I was in the store.

If this is you tell me what I was wearing and maybe I can treat you to a milkshake sometime.

Wawa (Staples mills)

To the young lady in the rainbow stripe dress. I was backing up and you were going to the car beside me.vYou are a beautiful woman even though it was just a quick glance it was enough to make me wish I’d at least said Hello. What did I look like? Or my car let know your thoughts or having a conversation

Cookie Factory (Richmond, VA)

I always see you walking your dog. We connect every time. What do I look like?

You seemed to be a manager and you treated me nicely

Pretty far up the hill and didn’t want to chase you down! You looked cute, wanted to get in touch.

Hot Deputy at Chipotle (Warrenton Rd. Rt.17)

You were the very goodlooking stud Deputy at Chipotle. We made eye contact a few times, you winked when other deputy went for drink refill.

Best Of VA Missed Connections May 15 – May 21

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

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

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

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

Get out there, Virginia.

My daughter’s roommate

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

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

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

Bygones (Cary Town)

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

The guy who complimented my toes (Wawa brook rd)

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

See you on Grove Ave. in the Fan

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

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

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

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

TRAVIS (FOOD LION) (1100 COURT HOUSE RD)

TRAVIS,

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

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

TOM,

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

Cute Guy at Stony Point (Richmond, VA)

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

Upset gamer chic 🙁 (Carrollton)

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

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

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

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

Walmart short pump

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

Dahlgren Walmart (Dahlgren)

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

Lowe’s Broad St

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

Lowe’s Mechanicsville (Rt 360)

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

Lowes returns (Short pump)

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

Home Depot Lady (West Broad)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Attractive Blonde at the Boathouse (Midlothian)

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

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

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

If my brain could slap my heart

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

Christina I miss… (Richmond)

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

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

Older man with wife at the park (Richmond)

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

Tits out (Pump house park)

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

Best of VA Missed Connections May 1 – May 7

Topics: , , , , , , ,

Welcome to this week’s Missed Connections, where love is in the air and the creeps come out of their caves. Whether you’re farting on your coworkers or drawn to them like magnets, rest assured you’ll find a match (or please light one, if you’re the former).

From falling for patients who fell on hospital floors, to strangers at bars in Carytown, “hardware watchers” at hardware stores, and our fair share of feet-lovers, Virginians are looking for love wherever they can find it — and they’re not holding back, though sometimes we wish they would.

If the amount of Lowe’s-related Missed Connections is any indication, there are a lot of us taking advantage of the warm spring weather to start on home improvement projects. [By the way, there’s a Lowe’s in Ruckersville now? I really have been gone a long time. –WMHS-alumna ed.] Enjoy working on your deck, but don’t let the old country tapes you play on that ancient boombox you dragged out of the attic get you down.

And please — don’t look up the bottoms of girls bending over in their cars. We promise, they’re not into that.

Dive in, Virginia!

You smelled me (VCU)

We work together and I snarted (sneezed+farted). I honestly couldn’t help myself. All this pollen! I tried ever so hard to keep my raging flatus inside but the force of my sneeze had a lot of power. Anywho, the absolute horror that came over me when I smelt what had to have been the utmost worst most nauseating smell! I can’t even believe that came out of me! It was like something you’d expect from a Clydesdale.

But you just looked at me and smiled. Your smile is amazing. And if you can get past my fart smell and overlook that pure moment of hell on earth, and still smile at me, I want you so bad! I love how you played it off as if it was the floor making the noise as well. We both know that came from my anal sphincter cannon. Any woman who can sniff my riff and come out alive & smiling-and even joke about to boot! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Please I hope you’re reading this right now! Tell me where we work, and what I was wearing. 😘

Gorgeous Male On Hospital Floor

You were walking around and wearing a hospital gown. You, longish dark hair, medium build, tall, wish I had gotten your attention but you never looked my way. You are one handsome devil. Can I be your Doctor?. I could make you feel so much better. Please give me a chance. You won’t be sorry.

When Somebody Loves You (Chester)

When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it’s just you, you can’t see through
Those ol’ clouds that rain so blue
But when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
When it’s late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone
But when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
So let’s put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree we’re just no good
At bein’ on our own
Cause when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
The way I love you
The way I love you

Met at a bar in the fan (The fan)

We talked for a bit, you had just moved here from DC and sat next to me, you were beautiful and articulate and you definitely have my interest. I hope you see this, message me your name (it started with an N) and the bar we met at. I hope I see you again

Brandon (PF Changes)

You were working our table last night and a waitress tried to take our table. You are so hot with a great smile. You asked a couple of times if we wanted anything else, but I couldn’t find you on the menu. Doubt you ever see this, but I’d love to show you a good time.

Steven at Can Can (23227)

Im sure youll never see this, but you were my server today. So nice, great smile, funny, and handsome. Ill be back soon:)

The Girl I Work With (Chesterfield)

You’re funny, smart, driven and beautiful. I feel a magnetism between us whenever I’m near you and I’m pretty sure you feel it too. Tell me what we talked about today.

Hot Holly (Fan)

I realize there is no chance you would see this but figured I would put this out into the universe.

I just wanted to put it out there how amazing you were and how much I miss our time together even though it didn’t work out. We just had such great physical chemistry. Maybe I was afraid of you being older or maybe I was just too much of a pussy to put you above my social circle st the time. Regardless I just want you to know how amazing you are and let you know you still cross my mind all the time.

I used to call you hot holly and you have a birthday on a holiday.

If this is you tell me where we met or you major at Vcu.

Maybe you’ll see this out there!

Powdered Catfish Dorsal Fin – LOL (A brewery)

You – Radford Alumna attended in the early 90’s

Your guy friend – crazy as hell talking about powdered dorsal fins in China.

Hit me up I like your style. Respond with your friends last name since I dont know yours 🙂

Vet Tech (Pump Road)

I came in to inquire about care for my dogs since I just moved to the area. You were extremely helpful and gorgeous with your sleeve and piercing. I can’t wait to make an appointment just to see you again. Unless we can make that happen sooner with a beverage?

Respond with your first name if you remember me.

spiegler family

looking for those with connections to the spiegler family with the two hot college daughters

Bayhill court (Chesterfield)

Afternoon. I highly doubt a lady of your kind would read these but who knows. You have some new neighbors and while delivering something to them you gave me quite the show while searching for something in your car. Amazing legs and the view made my day. I’d love to chat as I’m sure your not getting the attention you deserve. What were you searching for in your car?

Lowe’s Laburnum (Henrico)

I saw you going in as I was leaving today. You have blonde hair and wearing dark sweats.

Very cute guy.

Older man lowes (Colonial heights Area)

I saw you in the lumber section at Lowe’s Prince George. Probably in your 50’s brown hair blue jeans, solid black shirt. Nice bulge wish I knew if you was into guys cause I would of loved to investigate that bulge.

Lowe’s return desk (Ruckersville)

We were both returning something. You made a comment to me. I thought you were cute 🙂 Sadly, I’m married. But still wouldn’t mind knowing you

Those Heels (Short Pump Mall)

While at the mall Friday watching live music I could not help but continue to glance at your sexy heels and your beautiful feet. You caught me more than once and had a sly smile several times .

Love to see more of you.

Tell me the color of your polish or better yet and a pic of those heels.

Real and no drama here.

K

Flip Flops (Richmond)

You gave me flip flops and didn’t say good bye or give me your information . Said I was your son and I looked like I was going to shit a brick. Safe to say we can all use our names now.

In My Opinion It Was Meant To Be.. (Charlottesville Walmart)

I bumped into your cart accidently.. well I said I did lol from there we chatted briefly in reference to life long companionship.

You were a caramel complexion smaller plus sized woman who had been through relationships with infedelity, had never married but said you were definitely ready.

I would never ask a woman her age but I’m guessing you were between 45 and 50.

We never got to point where we exchanged numbers, me being a true gentleman I never want to come off as being too pushy.

You said you barely visted the store and neither do I so I looked at our meeting as more than coincidental.

Just wondering if you remember me hope you see this..

Peircing Eyes in the pacifica beer line (friday cheers)

You kept look looking through my soul almost all 45 minutes of that beer queue. Brown hair, blue shirt, green eyes. Wish I would have fought through that massive crowd to ask for your number.

I was the sweaty guy with the stupid jacket xD

NAPA om Southlake Blvd today. May 4 about noon (Southlake Blvd/Midlo Tpk)

You were at NAPA with an electrical issue; very attractive,tallish, dark haired girl, jeans and sandals driving, I think, a 4th gen Mustang. another customer sent you to another store to fix your problem. I thought you were outstanding. Being somewhat reserved, I did not make any attempt to offer assistance…big, I think, mistake. If you would be interested in speaking further (I would), please respond with the color of your car and to where you were referred. I realize this a long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Birthday suit, still around? (Chesterfield)

We actually emailed a few times on New Years Eve then all went silent. I am enjoying the day and all of a sudden this popped back in my head.

Doubt you will see this but in case you do and want to talk reply back.

Woman at Gayton Crossing (Parking Lot)

I was making my way through the parking lot, just hanging out…. We made eye contact, and you smiled when you saw me as I drove by. I wasn’t embarrassed. I would have parked and shown more, but there was too much traffic. You were gone when I circled around again. How about another parking lot show?

T Rex on St Paddy’s day (Charlottesville)

You were in that T Rex costume with the girl on the mall. I just want to thank you for the rad picture, you!

Hot Marine at Chipotle – Sunday lunch (Rt. 17 – Warrenton Rd.)

You were the hot Marine (I assume) in line behind me ordering, then you sat behind me to eat. You are BUILT! You had on baseball cap, shorts and sports nutrition t-shirt.

I was cleancut guy in shorts and deck shoes.

Would like to see you pose or more without shirt, to see those massive biceps!

MPDG seeks MPDB so that we can just be Dream People instead(Charlottesville)

Can you answer “yes” to all or most of the following?

Do you read? Do you think about what you read? I specifically told the agency I wanted someone who thinks about what he reads.

Do you write things? Do you suspect that they might be good things?

Are your mixtapes masterpieces, if a little heavy on twee pop and the 80s new wave?

Do you have a favorite member of the Watchmen, and is it Rorschach?

Have you ever felt like J. Alfred Prufrock was a little too relatable?

Can you help me to understand why I seem to be finding Jin from Samurai Champloo so devastatingly hot right now? Because honestly I don’t understand it myself.

Are you willing to pretend for at least 5 minutes that my collection of vintage postcards and erotica is super interesting?

Will you tolerate me gushing about literary theory every once in awhile if I promise not to go on too long?

Because if you can, you are the connection I’m missing.

Scrub pants and blonde hair (Chesterfield town center)

Hey so. U had green scrub type pants and a blonde braid. U came into Barnes and Noble then I saw u also as u came out of another store. U looked so familiar and I don’t know if I’ve seen u somewhere before. I wanted to find out how I may know u but didn’t wanna creep u out. I doubt u will ever read this as I never really read these. I’m sure ur taken. Just wanted to let u know ur gorgeous and I would love to get to know u. If u think this is u tell me what store u went into after Barnes and Noble.

Hot Redhead Neighbor.

I notice, you are home with your kids, most days. I have to say, you are Absolutely Gorgeous. If you are as intrigued as I am, don’t be shy. I smoke weed, too. I asked if you liked your new mattress.

Red head with little boy (Buffalo Wild Wings Virginia beach)

I saw you at Buffalo Wild Wings sitting with that man who was not paying any attention to you May 4th at 530 pm. I would have listened to you forever and your son
