“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,

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!”

Ed. Note: If this is you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about past missed connections, many have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made. Yesterday’s MC at Ivy and Coney was made, I think responses were forwarded.

“Dear PoPville,

This is the biggest long shot ever. A woman stood up for me in the bar at Joe’s against two people, a male and younger female who were bullying me. She told them “you all could lose your jobs for the way you are speaking to her” and I really appreciated it after a night of poor treatment. I’d like to connect with this lady (blonde woman) for standing up for me when she could tell I needed backup. (more…)
