“Dear PoPville,

Last Friday around noon, I was looking for a spot to sit and work outside in front of Emissary on 20th St. Asked to share a picnic table with two guys who were chatting, and one of them announced that they were just leaving. Shared a sweet smile with his friend (light brown hair, glasses) on their way out. Maybe we can get another coffee and sit and stay a while…”

“I had a missed connection last Friday night at Madam’s Organ.

I was with a bunch of my friends and she walked in with a big group. Blonde, cute glasses. We chatted, I offered to buy her a beer but then one of her friends got her one instead and I never got the chance to hang out or give her my number.

So… cute blonde with the glasses, if you’re reading this, I’d really like to buy you a beer.”

“We were on the metro together on Wednesday afternoon on the redline. I got on at Dupont Circle and you hopped off at Metro Center but we caught each other’s eyes over and over and you looked back and gave me a nod goodbye as you got off You were holding a blue bag that said “Happy Birthday Roy” on it.”

“I was with my friend today (Thursday the 17th) at the Mount Vernon Square Apple Store. It was probably around 6:30pm. When we walked in, I noticed a guy shopping with his parents. The guy is pretty well known politico. So I decided I was going to go say hello and get a picture with him.

That went well and I told him my name. He seemed extremely kind and didn’t appear to mind taking a selfie. But I would love to grab a drink or coffee with him. I just wasn’t about to ask somebody out while they seem to be helping their parents shop for a phone. It already felt like a lot asking for a picture.

I was wearing a blue hat and a St. Patrick’s Day themed shirt (but I was probably the only person who asked him for a picture too).”
