“Dear PoPville,

“We were in the Air France Lounge in Paris and made eye contact a few times. On my way out, I came up to say hi.

“Dear PoPville,

I was an Au Pair in Washington DC from January 2019-April 2019. When I lived there I had a couple dates with a super cute guy but when I moved away we lost contact and I know it was a long time ago but I would love to find him again and see if we can rekindle the friendship we had!

“Dear PoPville,

You sat in the aisle row next to me on the United morning flight on November 12 from Dulles to San Diego and asked me if I was attending the neuroscience conference to which I replied and said I was not but then proceeded to joke around with you about how frustrated the flight attendants were by the number of posters on board and how half the passengers were neuroscientists.
