The Sport of Dating

The Great Unknown

Ok, so I think it may be time to knock something off my list – the Craigslist date. Now you may remember that I said that getting a date off of Craigslist would be similar to getting a date off Match.com, if everyone on Match.com were a maniac. Well, after glancing at some of the ads today I think I still hold the same opinion. This one is really scaring me. Seriously, nothing good can come of this.

If you would like to see for yourself, go to Craigslist.org and click on “women seeking men.” Also put in “27" as the maximum age. You will see what I am talking about.

Now, some of my fear stems from my ignorance of how this works. (I think my dignity is also getting in the way, but I’ll worry about that later.) At first I figured I would pick the one with the cutest picture. Unfortunately not everyone puts up a picture (and the percentage of those who did that ring in at over 3 bells is astounding). So, I don’t really have anything to go by. It’s all a crapshoot. The only thing I can take solace in at this point is that the only three things I have gotten off Craigslist thus far, a roommate, an apartment and 2 bar mirrors, all turned out great. Maybe my mojo will keep working for me here.

Who am I kidding? I'm toast.
