There were about seventy-five times I would have turned away from being interested in a conversation with this person. Beginning with, “I’m attractive.”

Never, would I date someone who calls themselves that. The subject of whether a person is attractive brings to mind a line from the movie Hello Dolly! where she is approached by Horace Vandergelder and he asks, “Do you think you have the figure to wear that get-up?” She coyly replies, “That’s for others to decide.”

BITCHES! Loved this post. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it went.

I think I must be super-prude or something. I would *never* do that! That as in, post on Craigslist for a date that same night. My Craigslist posts are strictly for getting rid of baby gear.

Whoever said she was squirrely? I agree. Maybe she was a man.

I agree the bay area CL is no longer a good resource for singles…furniture yes… decent men no.

sorry your expectations were raised….

Aww bummer, I hate it when people chicken out. If you didn’t actually want to meet someone WHY PUT THE AD OUT? I guess a lot of people are creeped out by the sketchiness of Craigslist. People in my town are always telling me “DIDN’T YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GIRL WHO GOT KILLED AFTER ANSWERING AN AD?!” Well, duh, don’t go into the woods with man carrying a gun…*sigh* I guess there’s no easy option.

CL here is no longer what it once was either. I have a feeling that the best way to meet people is still via friends and family if not while doing something you absolutely love.

But, CL does make for interesting stories!

Yeah this is great. She chickened out. Or had some other crazy woman motive we may never know. Unless she reads your blog. ;)
