A woman details a suspicious encounter with a man near 10th and G NW who feigned unfamiliarity with the area and used a coffee shop pretext to try and solicit a date. The woman, familiar with the tactic, avoided the situation.

the one who approaches women pretending to be from somewhere else, asks about coffee places, then tries to pressure you into a coffee date. I was leaving my office and he approached me at the intersection of 10th and G NW.

He asked me where Tatte was, because I “look like the kind of person with the swagger to go there.” I told him I wasn’t really sure where the nearest one is, which is true – I don’t go there. He claimed to be from NYC and unfamiliar with the area. Then he started asking me about Maman, which is close by. I gave him directions, and then he said “we should go get coffee sometime.” I knew the shtick from reading PoPville so I said “my husband wouldn’t like that” and I got the hell out of there fast. Thankfully, he did not follow, though he likely just started scanning for another victim.
