Apple Store Becca — m4w (Holyoke)

Your eyes pierced my soul. The depth and beautiful you portray is impossible to describe within our language. When they say a picture is worth a 1000 words this is true. I would like to take you out for coffee. If your interested please write back. I hope to hear from you. Dec. 13, 2016.

Lunch at Teddys?? — m4w

Looking for the pretty lady I had lunch with today. To confirm your who I am looking what did you have? Dec. 13, 2016

Walmart Frozen-mance — w4m (Walmart N. Adams)

I see you at Walmart working in dairy/frozen foods. You always speak to me. You have called me beautiful in the cheese aisle … lol!! I don’t know if you’re interested?! I definitely am interested in you. I wish you had asked me out! If you see this and you are interested … reply with the vacation place I went?! (We talked about this.) Hint: Blonde hair and mornings, I saw you again today 🙂 Dec. 13, 2016

Missing you — m4w (Springfield)

We met at Nathan Bill park in Springfield. i miss you i wish i didn’t lose your number or your kik. i still want to see you again. email me if you think you her Dec. 13, 2106

[Name Removed] — m4w (Northampton)

Yo … been a while. You still cross my mind and I wish you only good things. We had brief relationship, but I felt strong connection w/you. Feel bad the way things ended … I know you were stressed w/school and I’m sorry for maybe being too hard on you about [“that”] thing. I did truly care about you … you asked if I loved you … was a bit too soon, but I was trying to tell you I could see it going there. You didn’t believe me. Anyhoo … if by some slim chance you see this, get in touch please. At the least would like to say my 5 minutes peace with you and us part as friends. I hope things are working out for you and that you are happy … you deserve it;) — D Dec. 12, 2016

Missed connection of a primeval kind — w4m (Springfield area)

We had an illicit and erotic moment or two in the early spring of life. You wanted to take me and plant your seed. I wholeheartedly wanted that. It seemed right with you. There were obstacles and interruptions and the moment was gone. People would think it was wrong. Flash forward: In the autumn of your life, I am all grown up now. When I look at you, that primeval urge is there for me. Do you want to finish what you started? I would love to hear your thoughts. Submitting to you in such a fashion feels right to me. Sometimes there is a bond that knows no earthly nor social constraints. Our secret. If you think this was intended for you — what are your initials or first name? What place was our “moment” that I look back on with a warm glow? Dec. 12, 2016

 Sara Pittsfield Walmart — m4w

  Sara, You rang me out at 8:30 on Sunday morning. Something about your smile and greeting has been stuck in my head ever since. I may be too old for you … 43. If you remember me, tell me what I was wearing and how old you are. If I’m wrong or this is creepy then I apologize … but it seemed we had a brief connection and I couldn’t ignore it. — Jason Dec. 12, 2016

Target — m4w (Holyoke)

When I walked out of the store as you were walking in, I immediately regretted the decision to leave, but also didn’t as I may have missed seeing you. We shared a look and then walked away. You were with your mother, and had on a black hat and drove a black car. I remembered someone else I had to buy a gift for so I came back in. I was hoping to see you again. And I did but you were on the phone and I wasn’t about to follow you around like a creep waiting for you to not be. Next I saw you, you were with your mom again so it kinda threw a wrench in my plan. I figured this dumb shit was the only way to hopefully get in touch with you. You are absolutely perfect, and if I believed in love at first sight, that’s what I’d call it. Dec. 11, 2016

Yankee Candle Chandler’s — m4w (South Deerfield)

It’s been 6 years — m4w

LB, It’s been 6 years. I know you were really angry with me when we stopped seeing each other. I just couldn’t do the drama. I’m sorry. I’m hoping you still think about talking to me. I miss your smile. Miss talking to you. Miss your friendship. — The guy outside at Sears Dec. 11, 2016

Ms. Holly — m4w (Palmer)

Apple Store Cutie (Holyoke Mall)

I asked you if I could look at a watch, you directed me to a different sales associate and foiled my plan of talking to you. I eyed you from across the store while we shopped.

When I went back to the Apple Store determined to ask you out, you were nowhere to be seen. I asked another coworker about you, he said your name might be [Name Removed]?

You looked so happy and friendly, like you’re really enjoying life. I was instantly attracted to your energy, and I think you’re so cute, I’d love to find you. Let’s see if the internet can bring us together! Dec. 11, 2016

White car getting gas by car wash – m4w (Greenfield)

You probly won’t ever see this, but what the hell; giving it a shot.

You drove a white car and wore a red coat. we smiled to each other when you were walking back to your car after you prepaid for your gas and you were alone.

I would love to know who you are but at the time hesitant to talk to you. I think due to how beautiful you were. I actually got excited just looking and watching you as we pumped away our gas.

If you are interested as I am in you write back and put in as subject what you were wearing for pants. And a picture so I know it’s you. If the subject is not correct, the mail will be deleted and never read, that way I know it is really the woman I saw. YOU ARE SO SEXY Dec. 10, 2016
