Single life
So I responded to some ads on craigslist a month or so ago, got a couple of followups, ended up corresponding with just one, she kept almost making plans to meet but kept bailing out, until eventually she just didn't respond. I posted a personal ad on craigslist that was long and descriptive, and in a three week period I got two responses total, one right away, another a week or so later. Both times the person writing seemed interesting and someone I'd like to meet, and both times, after I sent one response back, ending with "would you like to get coffee sometime?" I never got an email back. Nothing. I guess that's bad form for me to ask so soon to meet or something... as a guy, I never worry about 'creepy' members of the opposite gender... and as someone who's been online for years and is online all day at work I don't really like IM or email for real conversations anymore, and am anxious to have a face to face conversation with somone or at least hear their voice!

Nonetheless, it's kind of surreal... single women are about as real to me as a rare tropical flower I'd see on a nature show or a dragon in a story.

I realize I work long hours, don't like to hang out in bars, don't just walk up to a beautiful woman and give her my number, and don't take part in any activities outside work that I have a passion in (right now due to lack of time), all of which greatly decrease my chances of meeting a woman I'd really hit it off with. So I can't really make a case for there being a conspiracy against me yet.
