“Dear PoPville,

Please help me find this man!

I was stopped on a scooter at New Hampshire and 18th (Tuesday 8/29 at around 9:40 pm) because my friend FaceTimed me for my birthday. You scooted up and joined the convo! Said you were going to Blues Alley??? to meet a friend and that I could join. Sadly I didn’t quite catch the bar name. Let’s scooter to a first date if you are interested and available.”

“To be fair, we didn’t talk much, but I’m going off a smile and hope.

Around 3pm (Wed.) I was packing up to leave Banneker after some laps. The person who was in the chair next to me had just arrived and was unpacking. On my way out I complimented them on their monochromatic swim attire. They responded “thank you” and flashed a great smile. Before I made it out of the building, I turned around and went back to the lap lanes to ask them out, but they had just pushed off the wall and started swimming their own laps as I got close.

Side note, they had Purple Fog EVA Arizona Birkenstocks. A blue and white towel that looked like it was a recent purchase on vacation in Greece (total guess…). Oh and a black swim suit and cap. Black is my favorite absorption of visible light.”

“I am trying to connect with someone who I met with waiting for the S2 or S9 bus in McPherson Square on Monday, August 14th. It was pouring rain and I joked how absolutely ridiculous it was, like a character in a romcom having the worst day ever. I introduced myself as Ian, and I believe your name was Megan? I meant to ask for your number before we parted ways. Would be great to reconnect over a coffee/drink!”

For those curious about past missed connections, many have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made. The Lost Generation MC was made!
