Dear PoPville

“had run in with coffee date predator”

Reader reports on Friday:

“He approached me on U Street between 15th and 16th. While I was walking my dog and had earphones in, he said hi and said he saw me walking and then said he just moved here from New York, I said like oh that’s nice and then he immediately asked if I wanted to get coffee

I said I was in a work call and had to go and he asked again, I said I had a boyfriend started walking and he turned away as soon as I said that

Normally I’m awkward and more pleasant then I should be with street strangers but because I had seen the popville posts I recognized it immediately! Can’t believe this guy is still out there doing this…”
