[Writer's Note: In the Washington City Paper, there is a section of personal ads called "I Saw You." It is intended to help people get in touch with someone you may have met once, someone who caught your fancy, but you couldn't get a name or number. I like that idea.]
From the Washington City Paper, January 23-29th:
Saw you January 23rd on the Blue Line. You were wearing tights and a T-shirt; I was in a suit. You looked like you had just finished jogging. You read my newspaper over my shoulder and we shared a smile. Want to share more? Box 2225.
From the Washington City Paper, January 30th-February 5th:
Whatever happened to that girl with the blue eyes? I've looked for you on the Blue Line; you're nowhere to be found. I'd really like to see that smile again. Box 2225.
From the Washington City Paper, February 6th-13th:
Be my Valentine! I'm the Paper Boy, you're the Blue Girl. Was it something I said? I'm not a nut, just interested. Please answer my cry. Box 2225.
From the Washington City Paper, February 14th-20th:
To the Paper Boy: I'm sorry. I can't answer you. You're not a nut and I'm not scared, but it can't happen. Sorry if I hurt you, even if it wasn't deliberate. Goodbye. [Box unlisted by request of owner.]
From the Washington City Paper, February 28th-March 6th:
Saw you on the news today. Bank robbery. Hickman giving the orders. You in a costume.
You could have told me.
Box 2225.
From the Washington City Paper, March 7th-13th:
I don't owe you anything, Paper Boy; you saw me, remember? [Box unlisted by request of owner.]
From the Washington City Paper, March 14th-20th:
You owed me an answer, at least. Box 2225.
From the Washington City Paper, March 28th-April 3rd:
Paper Boy: I'm sorry. I am. But by now you must understand that it can't happen.
Goodbye.
[Box unlisted by request of owner]
From the Washington City Paper, April 18th-24th:
SWM, 32, looking for someone normal. Lost my heart before; not sure I want to do it again. No Omegas please. Box 2225.
