“Dear PoPville,

Missed Connection: Good Morning, Red Line 6/21

You got on the red line train 2-3 stops south of Ft.Totten around 730/830AM on 7/21 and said “good morning” to the whole car to which absolutely no one responded I found this intriguing so, when you sat down right next to me, I struck up a conversation. We joked about folks being so into their phones they had no idea what was going on around them and chatted for the next several stops. You had great eyes, dark skin, a beard under your mask and told me you worked at DOS. I got off at DuPont and thought I heard you say “we should meet up sometime” as I exited but the doors were already closed behind me. You really brightened my day though – Here’s to going out on a limb (and maybe a date)!”

“Dear PoPville,

Yesterday afternoon (June 16) during major flight delays/cancellations at DCA, I got chatting with this tall bearded man in the American customer service line. We were both on the same cancelled flight to Boston, where he was going with a group of buddies to watch a tennis tournament.

We shared some laughs, swapped flight stories over to-go margaritas (thanks, El Centro!), and I felt we were vibing! We’re both DC residents and I should have asked for his number.

If you’re out there, I’d love to continue chatting over margaritas after our New England adventures!”

“Dear PoPville,

I was at the last yoga class at Franklin Park on Monday evening. (more…)
