Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

Met you last night at the Shelburne Queen City Contra Dance. You are an architect in Burlington. We talked about design writing and sailing. I taught you how to waltz. Would you like to get a cuppa coffee? I regret not finding you before you departed.

We exchanged smiles as you were walking up the aisle . You're a beautiful red/brown haired woman there with your parents and a friend? You had a lil brown purse with a peach on it and I grow peaches! I tried to find you after the show to no avail. I was there with my mom too... Would you want to connect and talk about political activism through art and hanging with our parents?

I saw you come straight towards me and I was l awestruck with your handsome physique. Your Grey shirt fit you perfectly. I had to push my glasses up to get a better look and I’m still laughing at myself for that but I used my middle finger to do it because I had things in my hands..
My mind was like oh no when I did for many reasons and I know you saw me clearly.. clearly vulgar! You were so handsome. No offense. I couldn’t help but want to see you clearly! Handsome.

…in your turn of the century maroon four runner, you said you were glad my deteriorating white pickup was out front. I was hoping to see you again as well. You asked the time, me, glancing at my watch said “what time should it be to sit and talk?”. My attempted gentle teasing only turned more obtuse and borderline rude. I’m sorry for souring a sparkly moment and betraying your intuition, but thank you for taking a chance on me.

You drove by in the passenger seat of the Green Mountain Power Truck. I was sitting on my front steps and saw you and couldn’t look away. I said something stupid, hopefully you couldn’t hear me. I have contemplated breaking some shit so you have to come fix it (I won’t). If nothing else, thanks b/c our eyes locking gave me enough energy to finish all my chores for the day.

You told me you’re new to Vermont. Just moved here from Minneapolis. Need someone you show you the sights? I’d happily oblige.

You are beautiful. We have danced with each other a couple of times. Your smile so happy and free; makes my world so much better. When I'm around you, I want to be with you. You have an aura that is indescribable. If you are reading this, I hope you feel the same way. Again, you are beautiful.

I found it unsettling to be exposed to such petty behavior with a nasty voicemail. You used to frown upon the likes of people for whom those things did choose.
I have told you many a time over, I wish you no ill will. Even though, fairly I presume, I could have turned bitter and righteous and followed through with legalities.
I only want you to be happy and have found it hard to believe we will ever completely lose connection in any of the tiniest, rarest forms in this lifetime. But, alas, if you let her be the master of your decisions… so be it.
As you wish.

I spied you as the evening sun began to sink over the Adirondacks at the Causeway terminus. I interrupted your cooldown by making small talk about Camel’s Hump. You mentioned you were headed to Farmers and Foragers post bike ride for a bite. While I do rely on fate to cause our paths to cross again, I threw it to the winds of iSpy in hope that we can connect. I hope you see this message.

You've been on my mind lately, I hope you are well. Have you visited a rage room yet? Let's make beautiful art & cook ridiculously delicious food together. We can begin with a proper blackberry maple balsamic reduction. Are you game?
