“Dear PoPville,
I headed in to Commissary for brunch on Sunday around 2pm. A quite tall man with long brown hair in a blue t-shirt and black gym shorts approached and gave me a sweet compliment. I was too surprised (and awkward) (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
“I was walking my two dogs today (Saturday) just before noon on Flager between V and U street. You were parking your car on the block to help your friend move out of an apartment. (more…)

Ed. Note: If either of these are 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, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to reach out about a possible missed connection this morning in the Dupont metro platform. We were sitting on opposite platforms facing each other this morning at around 8am or 8:15 am. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection on Friday (July 30) on the metro and in DCA, and I thought I’d give it a shot here. I kept running into the same twenty-some military man with brown hair wearing a hat with a last name that starts with C. We exchanged many glances on the red line, in Metro Center Station, the blue line, and then (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Friday, July 30th, I spoke with someone for a regrettably short amount of time at a bar in Terminal B of DCA before I had to board my flight. She was off to a wedding in Chicago and I was visiting family in San Francisco. We discussed the weird TV being played, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection on Sunday, August 1st around noon at the Harris Teeter in Adams Morgan. Exchanged a few glances (over masks) and run ins at the entrance/different grocery aisles with a tall male, dark brown hair, grey shirt, black shorts, knee brace? I’m a 5’5″ female, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
To the guy in the black Saturn Sky I played tag with this evening (Saturday) from the Baltimore beltway all the way down 16th Street – you probably couldn’t see but my smile got bigger every time I saw you again, I was 100% car flirting with you, and I’m kicking myself for not saying anything when we finally got a red light next to each other.

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection at The Salt Line in Navy Yard last Saturday night (7/24) and thought I’d give it a shot and put it on here. I was sitting at the outdoor bar with friends, he was standing in a group behind us. When I heard someone yell “Live Free or Die” I turned around and abruptly blurted out “are you talking about New Hampshire?” (I don’t meet many other people from my weird little state down here.)

“Dear PoPville,
I know this story seems too good to be true, but I promise it’s real. I am that one friend that everyone has who always has crazy stories to share to the point that I need to start wearing a body cam to capture the awkwardness.
I was in a long yellow dress walking down 16th street towards Columbia Heights, enjoying an afternoon walk while listening to a podcast. I noticed you on your knee scooter trying to get up the stairs while holding your crutches. I’m incredibly accident-prone and have been there and know what a pain in the ass it is to do anything that involves walking, let alone trying to hobble upstairs while carrying crutches and a scooter. I thought you were cute and was going to offer to help, but then I heard “on your left”.
A guy on a scooter came buzzing past us, hit a curb, and did a complete flip over his handlebar. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was on the patio of Conte’s Bike Shop (Q Street) on Monday evening using their bike pump when I coughed a little, before reflexively apologizing to the beautiful girl who was nearby (clear glasses, cornflower blue skirt, light blonde hair). We talked (briefly) about how we’re both vaccinated, so maybe everything is okay now (or maybe it’s not). I think there was a spark, but then again, I haven’t spoken to a stranger in like a year, so….
Coda: yesterday my bike was stolen around Dupont, (more…)
