On Tuesday evening (6/12), around 5:30, I saw you a couple times at the Malden Stop & Shop, most notably in the frozen food section. We made a bit eye contact, but I was eager to get out of the Store -- plus, I'm just bad at that sort of thing.

Then I got in line and you got behind me. Odd, I thought, because the lines around us were shorter.

I asked the cashier how to get a Stop & Shop card, and if she had one I could use for this transaction. You quickly and kindly offered me yours, but she'd already scanned one.

Then you asked if I was new to town, and I said sort of. I've been in Boston since September, but I'd just moved to Malden on Saturday.

You're new too, you said. From Michigan.

Then the cashier started to flirt with you about the "poor deer" on your shirt and killed the mood. The transaction was soon over, and when I turned to you to say some awkward good-bye, you were looking the other way. Rather than linger, I took off.

While I was in line at the customer service desk (to get my card, like a good Malden citizen), I tried to catch your eye contact again without seeming like a psychopath, but no dice. I spent the rest of the night kicking myself for missing the opportunity to connect with a cool guy.


YOU: Masculine, tall, blonde, ruddy, burly white guy. Deer t-shirt. Cute as hell. Twenty-something, I'd guess. Stop & Shop card holder.

ME: Masculine, tall, reddish-brown, pale, white, kind of burly myself. Goatee. Grey Gap t-shirt, shorts. Bought a mess of Lean Cuisine dinners because the sale was too good.


On the off chance that you'll read this -- want to get to know the area together? You seem like a nice guy. Let's get coffee or a drink sometime.

Truly pathetic. Plus I can't even keep a Missed Connection post short and sweet!

But on the brightside -- even with a bad back/neck ache, I can become smitten with a boy at the supermarket. And that's something, right?
