poppy's pretty maternal with him too, so i imagine these two have a sibling-ish dynamic between them probably? roman can be impatient and huffy sometimes but he's also always obnoxiously under everyone's feet around the bar (and sometimes in poppy's house lol) so they've probably gotten on each other's nerves for different reasons but roman would definitely still like her. his ex-boyfriend went to prison for five years on a felony drug charge and it kinda sent roman's life into a spiral that he's been trying to navigate financially and emotionally, which is a primary reason why he's around the bar so much - he has court fees/bills to pay and he doesn't want to go home to an empty apartment etc. he and poppy spent a LOT of time together over that whole experience and roman's got a tendency to be just a whirling dervish of internalized drama sometimes, sorry about the word vom. but yeah, if she's around the bar and stuff she'll be familiar with him for sure lol.
