Missed Connections: Small Talk at Starbucks, Glances at the Post Office and Racing on 580
A collection of missed and chance encounters from Castro Valley and its surrounding areas.
Wondering if that guy thought you were hot? Was that girl actually smiling at you?
Maybe you’re crazy. But maybe, just maybe, you two should have met.
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 Castro Valley and its surrounding areas.
- We were both in line at starbucks inside the Target in San Lorenzo: I ordered and turned around to see such a beautiful smile and I could not help, but smile myself... I really enjoyed your caring way and I wish there was more women like you on this earth! — Posted Feb. 4 (hayward / castro valley)
- Post office cutie: I saw you at the post office. I thought u were very cute... u kept looking at me but I didn't get a chance to say something. We locked eyes again before u drove off. — Posted Feb. 3 (hayward / castro valley)
- Chevron CV - Air in Tire: I was with my friend so I could not hit on you then, but I sensed a mutual attraction. Let me know if I was wrong. — posted Feb. 2 (hayward / castro valley)
- Delivery Guy, Not UPS: I see you come in from time to time making your delivery or pickups. Today you asked me if any packages were going out. You also ask me what my name was and we shook hands. I have a big crush on you. – Posted Feb. 1 (hayward / castro valley)
- "racing" on 580 west: You originally cut me off, but I caught up and pretended to race you. I flashed my hazards when I got in front of you. There was obviously something there for the rest of the drive between us. — Posted Jan. 31 (hayward / castro valley)
