Missed Connections

Springfield>community>missed connections

I saw you at the kum and go on Republic road, you were at gas pump 3. I was dancing in my car and we made eye contact. No ring on your finger; tall with dark hair and a farmer’s tan. You got a cherry icee. I got feels for you. 

I passed you while I was biking on the Galloway trail. You were wearing short ish shorts and I admire that. It takes a confident man to wear short ish shorts. You were walking a dog. I’d like to walk your dog with you and talk about the weather. I’ll wear short ish shorts too. 

You were getting into your car as I was getting out of mine. You drive a blue Chevy, Arkansas license plate. I saw a bike rack on the back which tracks because if you’re a man in Arkansas,  you must own a bike. I also saw climbing gear in your seat which could be a red flag but might be a green one. Let’s find out.

You yelled “hey shawty” as you drove by last night. Normally, I would not engage because that is a sad excuse for a pick up line but I’m willing to give you a second try. Meet me on the square and we can talk about politics unless you’re one of those people who lists themselves as “not political” on their dating profile in which case, bye shawty.

I saw you at the fassnight pool. We made eye contact and held it for a few seconds too long. Honestly it was a little awkward but I’m cool with that. You had a bag of cooler ranch Doritos and I had a terrible sunburn. We’ve already seen each other half naked so we may as well go on a date.
