Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

As I sat on the rocks of Perkin’s Pier watching the late sunset fade into night
I heard your running steps coming up behind me
I didn’t turn, it was enough to admire an abstract Someone, whoever they were, for a 9:00 Friday night run
You ran past me and stopped
“Lua??” you excitedly inquired, then upon realizing you’d been mistaken, “I’m sorry you just look so much like my ex-girlfriend from high school”
I am unfortunately not your ex-girlfriend from high school, but maybe I could be your next

I Spy a curly-haired carpenter on Lime Kiln Road. You were outside working on a porch in a white T-shirt with what looked like a chop saw. I slowed down to take a closer look, but I didn’t want to drive by twice because I was afraid you would notice me, and I’m pretty shy. Your curls caught my eye, and I’ve always had a thing for a handyman. I’d love to get to know you. Can we meet for a walk sometime?

I don’t wish you any ill will,
And I’m glad you cut things off for good.
It’s something I couldn’t do myself.
But I still think of you every single day.
I check in with your mom on occasion.
I miss the girls too.
When you think of me, please remember the good stuff.
I’m trying to as well.
At least it’s getting easier instead of harder
To live without you.
Be well, my long lost werewolf.

We were at Shaw's in Randolph near closing time on Friday, 5/1. You apologized sweetly for stepping back near my cart, even though it was absolutely fine. Your look was so kind and open. I smiled. We passed each other in another aisle, but I was out of gas from the week and couldn't think of anything to say (also, I might have been starstruck from our earlier encounter). Can we shop together?

A Very nice gentleman was encountered at the Barre Re-Store. I enjoyed the fact that we bumped into each other at least four times and you excused yourself every time. I said "You're fine" and you quipped it was because that you worked out. I said "I like you're cattitude". I looked you in the eyes and saw your very nice hair and you were holding a large assortment of tangled yarn skeins. I'm extremely curious about you. If you are looking for a friend this is where we can start.

Costco Wednesday 4/29. You were the pretty lady sitting in the eye care department. I was the guy with the empty cart checking you out (when I wasn’t checking out the big screen tvs). Pretty sure I caught you checking me out too. I hope I didn’t give off the stalker vibe, but you really looked familiar. Have you seen me before?
If you’re not another stalker and you were in fact checking me out, reply here and tell me your name.

Bullying & verbally assaulting your disabled child & your disabled neighbor is indefensible, as is spreading untrue & juvenile gossip throughout the building. The impulsive choice you made to immediately file a police report—despite not having witnessed the situation—instead of having a simple, civil conversation with me was irresponsible & damaging. I hope you take the opportunity to address the unresolved anger driving your intentionally harmful actions! In the words of Stormzy: Do Better!

I went to Crow Bookstore to see if they were hiring. While there, I was left speechless at how pretty you were. I awkwardly complimented your sweater, and hastily left. I wish I was able to get to know you a little better, either romantically or just as friends.
