“Dear PoPville,

Can you help me find a slightly belated missed connection? On Wednesday April 5th around 1:30pm at Bread Furst, a handsome dark-haired guy with some stubble was just trying to buy half a loaf of bread. The bakery doesn’t sell halves, but I offered to buy the other half from him if the bakery cut it. He didn’t have venmo; I didn’t have cash—so he just gave me the half loaf! I wish I’d given him my number and offered to buy him a drink some time!

Thank you,
Short blonde in cycling clothes”

“Dear PoPville,

I am hoping you can help with a missed connection. This morning around 7:00 am I ran into Whole Foods Navy Yard to pick up a few items. There was a tall strawberry blonde cutie with glasses and a green pullover. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Sending a missed connection that should not have been a missed connection because I had ample opportunity to not be a coward, but alas!

On Tues, 4/4, my friend and I spent a few hours sitting next to a handsome and funny gent wearing a Maruchan Ramen sweatshirt at Fat Pete’s. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was out on a long run this past Sunday afternoon (3/26), crossing the Arlington Memorial Bridge, when a cute runner caught my eye. We glanced at each other as I stopped to take a photo of the view. Then we both crossed over onto the VA side of the Mount Vernon Trail and proceeded to pass each other several times as I kept stopping to take blossom photos. At one point you attempted to say hi, but I awkwardly sped past you. We both crossed back into DC on the 14th street bridge, then went in different directions. If you’re reading this and interested, I would love to go on a run sometime! I was the girl in the black shorts and blue tank. I will know it’s you if you can tell me what language you said hello in. :)”

“Dear PoPville,

I was picking my friend up at her apartment off of U Street on Sunday (3/26) and I pulled into the alley next to her building so I wasn’t waiting and blocking traffic on the street. As I was bopping along and singing out loud to Maggie Rogers while scrolling on my phone, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Last Thursday (3/23) I went to Proper 21 for happy hour with two coworkers. As we were walking by the patio to the entrance, I made eye contact that seemed to linger a couple beats longer than the norm with a guy who was already drinking in the patio area with some others. He was wearing a suit and looked kinda like the Crown Prince of Jordan. (more…)
