Missed Connection – Saved at Sudhouse

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was at Sudhouse on Saturday when a guy walked up to me and kept trying to get my attention ( and not in a good way). The bartender repeated asked me if I was ok and I signaled no – they had security escort him out. I was so thankful to the manager there for making sure I was ok. When I walked out of the bar about an hour later the guy followed me down U Street. He had been waiting for me. Luckily one of the guys on the Sudhouse patio noticed this go down and walked me back to bar and away from this creep. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was at the Safeway in Adams Morgan on Saturday morning (2/12) getting doughnuts for a party when a guy stopped by me and mentioned he didn’t realize Safeway made fresh bagels. We started talking about baked goods and joked about whether or not he should get one (he ended up grabbing a bagel and a doughnut) and we said bye to each other. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was on a non-Valentines Day date on Valentine’s Day, and my Hinge match brought me to Underground Comedy at The Eaton (he was very intentional in saying that it wasn’t a V-Day date). The show was lots of fun, and I completely love The Eaton. The crowd seemed to be full of couples like us – on a first or second date.

To be clear, my date wasn’t bad. He’s a nice enough guy, and I liked the spontaneity with which the date came together. I just didn’t get that immediate *click* with him. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Missed connection at Blaguard on Valentine’s Day. We had a three-way conversation with the bartender about his dog. I was at the end of the bar wearing a gray sweater and sporting what my mom very recently referred to as a “cute Beatles mop top if you would just lose the ugly mustache and beard”.

In any case, maybe you would like to meet back at Blaguard sometime for another beer.”

Missed Connection- “Charismatic Cutie at Trader Joe’s”

“Dear PoPville,

Tuesday was tortuous, but your ‘delightful’ attitude and questions about work made checkout at the Florida Ave Trader Joe’s enjoyable. I was in your checkout line around 7pm Tuesday night and we talked labor unions- you said you were supportive! If you somehow see this and are interested, I’d love to buy you a beer and discuss unions!”

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.
