Well howdy strangers! Yes, I know it's been awhile but things have been...chaotic for me. Since I've been stricken with a little insomnia, I thought I'd take a moment to update you on what is sure to be a grand adventure.
I've decided to start going out on more dates, for better or for worse. Since the normal means of meeting people hasn't worked and I'm cheap/poor, I thought I'd give putting a craigslist ad up a go. I mean, it's not like I have to answer anybody - they'd just dismiss me as being a bot if they get the silent treatment.
So I put the ad up about a week after New Year's. There was a nice chunk of responses varying from the sweet and sincere to the entirely too vague to the "ew, no" (those immediately got deleted - I specifically said "no creepy guys"). And only one sent a picture of his junk because he wanted to make sure I'd be willing to look past it and get to know him for him, not use him for what he claims is a sizable unit. 1) If you don't tell me you have a big little friend, I wouldn't know therefore you wouldn't have to worry about that; 2) Seriously? Does that work for you, dude? Is that an effective way to pick up chicks?; 3) Junk portraits get automatic disqualification status.
At any rate, I'm trying to be more open so, to be fair, I decided to go out with some guys even though I don't necessarily feel drawn to them. With that in mind, I've gone out on five dates - nothing big, just coffee because it's a neutral site and no pressure there. Two I didn't really feel anything for at all; one is nice to talk to but I think a little too old and hopefully he won't try to kiss me when we hang out again; one who things seemed to be going well with but then he dropped off the face of the earth; and one who I've gone out with twice now - once for coffee (though neither of us drink it) and once for a walk in the park. I like talking with Park Guy and he's very gentlemanly but I'm not feeling that spark, you know? It could be because I keep thinking how I have to upgrade him - he needs a better hair cut and his clothes don't fit him well enough (though that could be because I keep catching him on his way back from work and he has to move around a lot). Yes, I'm a bit shallow. Who isn't?
I'm trying to set up a couple more coffee get-togethers this week. One guy is a little suspicious in that I can't tell if he's a wigger or just kidding in the picture he sent and I'm afraid to ask. He's special. There's also an Italian guy, a French guy I'm not sure I should respond to (for no reason other than he's not in the country yet), a Scotsman (who cute enough but I'm counting on there being an accent to help up the quotient), a mixed dude, and two others that may be looming in the picture.
Busy busy busy. I'll keep you updated if you're interested...lol

Welcome back!
1. Junk portraits = very UNgentlemanly. Gross
2, Why would someone respond just to say no? That seems like a waste of energy.
Anyway...good luck with the rest of your dates. Is the French guy Asian with black plastic glasses and a lot of hair gel? If he is....avoid him at all costs (I'll explain later)!
Thanks! I'm going to try and post more often this year. Hopefully that's a resolution I can stick to. :)
1) At least he sent a face picture with it. It wasn't just anonymous genitalia waiting to ambush my unsuspecting eyes.
2) People are weird. I try not to think about it too much lest I go insane.
The French guy is not as you described, but thanks for the heads up. I'm quite curious as to why he should be avoided...lol
keeps us posted on the dates. it's going to be a good year!
I'm proud of you!
And junk does not bring sexy back. I don't care if it's in a box. If I don't know you, I don't want your junk.
(apologies to JT)
i've managed to actually date one normal person through Clist....met two other desperate chicks. i hope the male selection fares better for you. good luck and happy hunting.
