“Dear PoPville,

So I was stopped outside Maxwell in Shaw and there was this woman there with dark hair who had the most fire nails I’ve ever seen. I am a straight guy, so I really never notice that kind of thing, but these were so elaborate I felt like I had to say something.

Anyway, we walked and talked for a couple blocks before going our separate ways. She told me all about how she was going to get a new set of nails with her work nickname on them.

I didn’t ask for her number because like, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We met on a run recently and talked about trees. You taught me the difference between redwoods and sequoias. I didn’t think to ask for your info but it was fun running together!

Me: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We met at the National Book Festival in line to get books signed by Sandra Cisneros. We talked about life and books. I should have asked for your number, but I wasn’t sure what the vibe was!

You: From Central California/Guadalajara but moved to the DMV to go to Georgetown. You live in Arlington and love books!

Me: Black dress, blonde hair, from Ohio and went to grad school in Monterey!”

“Dear PoPville,

You looked incredibly hot at the bar of Le Diplomate Friday night—blonde hair in a black dress. You were with a bit group, and I was with four friends at the next table over. We made aggressive eye contact throughout the night. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,

This weekend (7/28) at the Mubadala Citi Open I witnessed a very handsome volunteer usher apologize profusely to a guest for a reason I didn’t catch while passing by. Without thinking, I turned my head and said to him, “never apologize,” and he conceded to the advice but said he was still sorry and we both smile-laughed as I walked away. Now I’m sorry I didn’t stick around a little longer. In the off-chance he’s DMV-based and single I’d love to get a (preferably not overpriced tennis tournament) drink!”
