Missed Connections: Safeway Crush, Star Trek Babe, Lunchtime Hugs

A collection of missed and chance encounters from the Tri-Cities.

Spring is here and it’s a time for love and fun.

And if you’re wondering if that guy thought you were hot or if that girl was actually smiling at you? Why not check this week’s “Missed Connections” feature – the Tri-City edition.

Missed connections are those chance encounters people can make every day. Some people try to reestablish those meetings through Craigslist. And every week, we’ll run a few from the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas.

  • Cute Girl in Newark Safeway: I seen you in the front of the line. When I came up to the line, our eyes connected about seven times. You’re a cute white girl wearing white pants and sandals. …Hit me up girl. – M4W, 32; Posted March 22 (Newark)
  • Comic Nerd Seeks Trek Babe: On the final day of WonderCon in Anaheim, I saw a breathtaking young lady dressed in a uniform that resembled a female starfleet officer in the new Star Trek film. She let me take a couple of pictures … I'd like to say I'm sure you don't live anywhere near me, but if you do,I thought you were amazing and I'd love to be in touch. – M4W, 29; Posted March 21 (Tri-Cities)
  • Miss Our Lunchtime Hugs: You were stopped at a light on Warren Ave. in Fremont. …You looked up and I was struck by the prettiest face I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been tempted to get out of my car at a stoplight ton invite someone for coffee before. – M4W; Posted Feb. 9 (Fremont)
  • Fremont-Richmond BART: I guess you are still mad at me since you don't reply to my emails. Oh well! I enjoyed our hugs! :)  – W4M; Posted March 21 (Tri-Cities)
  • Vinces Café During 1 PM Lunch: I saw you walking into Vinces Café. …You apparently had an order number. It was no. 8. You are very pretty, but while you had your face down planted in your cell phone, I was trying to get that “eye connection.” Finally moments later, you looked. …I know you're local if you're eating at Vinces, the question is, which tech company and can we do lunch again? – M4W, 28; Posted March 19 (Fremont)
