“Dear PoPville,
I am trying to find someone and I am hoping you can help. Two years ago I broke my ankle stepping in a hole in Lincoln Park. A very nice Australian man named Larry helped hold my dog, hand me my phone and stayed with me while I was picked up to go to the ER.
Apparently in May my dad who was visiting from out of town ran into this same man in Lovejoy Park. Knowing he is still in the area inspired me to reach out to you to see if I can find him. I have always wanted to thank him and would like the opportunity to talk to him. I appreciate any help I can get!”

“Platonic friend request for a person I last talked to on the 19th of August. We normally would have passing conversations in the Union Market Trader Joes. The last things we talked about was your recent trip to France and how you did not visit the Louvre lol. You also mentioned you were moving to Shaw and the likelihood of seeing each other again was slim. Anyways, seeing how you seem cool, conversations seemed easy and making friends as adults is difficult, I thought this was worth a shot. I would love to get to know a little more of your life story over coffee or any other beverage. I’m terrible with names but I’m 95% sure your name starts with a P.”
