I'm going out tonight on my first date with someone off of Craigslist.
Yikes... craigslist.
My girlfriends and I started perusing the CL personals as a joke, because seriously they are HILARIOUS... I'm not kidding if you have a good 10 minutes to kill and need a good laugh it is a gold mine of hilarity.
However, while perusing said list, some of them kinda seemed... well... normal, or interesting, or a way to meet people out of my teeny tiny circle of NYers.
So why the hell not right? How else am I going to meet the investment banker of my dreams. It can't be any crazier than meeting someone at a bar, or on the subway or in a park, or even at work, I mean how well do you REALLY know your co-workers.
Besides working off CL is like working undercover, you have to look for clues in their ads, try to mimic their voice when you write back and choose a photo that looks good but will still leave them pleasantly surprised when they meet you in person. GAMES GAMES GAMES.
Now granted we would all LOVE to just meet the one, organically, meet someone and know. Yeah well I meet someone, and I knew and now I'm looking for new people on CL. I don't see it as an act of desperation, and it's not an inability to meet men that has led me down this path but rather a choice to be proactive. Anyway let's see how this all goes.
