“Dear PoPville,

I was playing tennis on Sunday (January 2nd) at the courts on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. A very patient (and good-looking) guy asked us how much time we had left. Once we finished, he commented on my (stellar) game, and I commented on his awesome tennis bag (with wheels). I was wearing black shorts and glasses. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

While I was waiting at the Senate subway on Thursday, this guy approached me and asked what I thought about something that we both witnessed a few minutes prior at the Capitol testing site. We had a laugh and he walked away. Fast forward about 30 minutes later, and we’re both getting off the metro at Woodley Park. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

On December 22nd, we were standing next to each other in a very long line to get take home rapid covid tests at the Woodbridge Library. I arrived 1.5 hours early (by accident), and you and your Irish Wolfhound (Huey) walked up behind me soon after. We chatted off and on for the duration of our wait. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Lol can’t believe I’m doing this but deciding to submit a missed connection because our dogs love each other – we both live in Navy Yard and have golden retrievers, his golden’s name is Sampson and every time our dogs see each other they must play… think you could help me find Sampson’s dad?

Have been too shy during all of our meetings!”

“Dear PoPville,

I think I had a missed connection Friday night between 13th and 14th near Jenni’s. She was walking LuLu and was super nice. Wish I’d found out her name as well!”
