“Dear PoPville,

Here’s the story… Monday, 4/4 and the time was 9:30 am!

I was seeing N for a recuperating hamstring injury and you were working with H on what seemed to be your final appointment rehabbing a shoulder injury. You told him about a rad weekend snowshoeing in Beaver Creek and I chatted you up about how fun that sounded. You tossed me a dashing smile and a goodbye as you headed out the door.

I wanted to get your info, but knew I couldn’t ask the PT crew because of HIPAA (and because I would get brutally teased by both N AND H)! I’d love to hear more about outdoor stuff you like to get into around the DMV if you’re interested in connecting. I live in northwest and would love to go for a hike or take you bouldering if your shoulder and my hammy are up to it.”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m looking for a man with brown hair who was working as a volunteer for the kite sales for the Kite Festival on March 26th! He had a tie dye hoodie on under his green volunteer shirt. He had “big carney energy” that I loved; I asked him for advice on which kite design to buy and he told me to get this year’s as it was a “spicier design.”

I had a black jacket over a green sweatshirt, and I have long brown hair that was tied back in a ponytail. I was with some friends so I couldn’t stay to flirt, but would love to find this volunteer.”

“Dear PoPville,

Last Friday around noon, I was looking for a spot to sit and work outside in front of Emissary on 20th St. Asked to share a picnic table with two guys who were chatting, and one of them announced that they were just leaving. Shared a sweet smile with his friend (light brown hair, glasses) on their way out. Maybe we can get another coffee and sit and stay a while…”

“Dear PoPville,

I had a missed connection today (yesterday, Wednesday.) I was walking along H street by Lafayette Park and noticed a gaggle of people walking on the sidewalk towards me. I saw Secret Service and stood aside and also tried to figure out who the dignitary was.

That’s when I turned and noticed a lovely brunette in a green floral dress following the group. We made eye contact and she smiled – and also clearly discerned my curiosity in the group she was loosely following. She volunteered that it was the Irish Prime Minister, or Taoiseach, in town to meet President Biden. We got to chatting and and I learned she was a reporter traveling with the PM’s delegation.
