Federal St, You were painting your house — m4w (Greenfield)
About 3:45, I drove down federal street, saw you painting your homes exterior. You looked pretty darn cute. 🙂 If you need a hand or wanted some help, let me know what you were standing on so I know it’s you. This is a long shot, I know, but maybe you’ll read this? April 11, 2017
Parking Garage at the corner or Maj Taylor and MLK BLVD — m4w (Worcester)
Hello, You are the female parking attendant at the garage. We always talk whenever I get there. Im not there often, but always look forward to seeing you. We always seem to talk about the weather since its been so crappy and cold until today… Well at least outside it was. Hope this reaches you. If it does, remind me what else we talked about when I hinted that you were crazy. Hope you didnt take it the wrong way. April 11, 2017

Woodstar yesterday — m4w
I was sitting outside on my laptop between noon and 1. You walked by to take a seat farther back, it was all i could do to not just turn and stare. When i got up to leave i mustered a small smile, which i think was returned, but i wasnt wearing my glasses, so… I wanted to come over and talk, but had to run — i feel like i blew an opportunity. I know the only thing i know about you is how you looked in your form fitting dress, and that you’re probably a student, which would make me…older. Would love to know more though. Meet over coffee? dinner? Sincerely, Guy on blue laptop. April 11, 2017
Mt Tom Today — m4m (Holyoke MA)
I saw you face to face, I was at the very end of the trail, I had on a black hat, denim hoodie, and black workout tights with black shorts over them. You had black hair combed forward, shorts and I think a dark blue t-shirt and holding on to a water bottle, you were light skin, had a sexy tough walk, had some facial hair, very sexy. You were so hot, but a guy with white hair was right behind you so I kept walking. If this is you, please send me an email and describe something you remember about me. April 10, 2017

Shelburne Falls Coffee — m4w (Hadley)
Held the door for you this morning (Thursday) after we both got our orders filled ‘cause it looked like you had your hands full. You managed just fine, though, and I kinda felt like an idiot. Your face lit up, you flashed a kind smile and thanked me anyway. Missed moment for sure! 99.999% chance you never see this, but it would be amazing if you did. April 7, 2017
