“Dear PoPville,

I see the a girl at the Anthony Bowen YMCA a few times a week, and we’ve locked eyes pretty deeply a number of times. I’d say something to her, but no one’s trying to get hit on at the gym, and so I’m left writing this missed connection because this is obviously a way better approach.

She’s blonde, about 5’4”, usually on the treadmill.

I’m dark-haired, 5’10”, usually ride one of the bikes for non-athletic people and have excellent credit.

Anyway, I can’t tell if she’s looking at me the same way I’m looking at her or if she’s trying to remember my face in case she needs to make a composite sketch for the police later on. If it’s the former, maybe she’d like to meet outside of the gym sometime?”

Ed. Note: If this is you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about past missed connections, many have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
