“Dear PoPville,

I exchanged multiple sweet glances & smiles with a cute tall fella walking his pup down Adams Mill Road (Saturday around 11am). I was practicing yoga at Walter Pierce Park dressed in black & polka dotted leggings. Would love to connect if you’re available!”

“Dear Popville,

I’d like to report a missed connection! You (male, white, tall, 30s) were watering your plants with a hose in your front yard on 14th and T (1:30pm on Friday, June 18). I (female, white, tallish, 30) was walking by in a bright orange Hoos shirt, wearing AirPods, drinking an iced coffee. We locked eyes for a moment and smiled and it was electric!”

“Dear Popville,

I’ve seen a woman at the Banneker Track 3 times while exercising there. Today (Monday June 14) was the third time I’ve seen her and I promised myself if I saw her a third time I’d at least say “hello.” Each time she’s walking her cute small brown dog. Brown hair and tall and I think she recently got a really cute haircut. Everytime I’m there she’s on the phone and I never want to disturb her, and definitely don’t want to make her feel uncomfortable if I see her again in the future! We usually make eye contact and I always want to say hi, but again she’s on the phone. I’m the guy with the headband usually jumping rope.”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m hoping to get in touch with a guy named John who I chatted with multiple times over the past few months, but never had a chance to exchange numbers with. He was a regular at the establishment where I worked in The Shay development, and we talked often about music/concerts and our respective weekend plans as well as his band t-shirts and trip to Mexico. I’d really love to connect with him and go out for coffee, even just as friends depending on his love life sitch!”
