Krytellan Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Too funny. I've been reading a lot of posts recently about Craig's list and such (maybe just all of DA's posts ). It's too funny that I'm meeting up for a lunch encounter because of it now. And the best part is I don't really even care about it (no anxiety I mean). I'm realizing that's the best place to be. I had posted a while back about expanding my friend base and actually have been quite successful in doing so. I now have Karaoke friends in 2 cities (yay me), a group of people that I do "barfly" bus tours with in the city (a blast if you've never been... 35 drunk bastards on a bus hopping from bar to bar. It's a tasty recipe for disaster), and a Happy Hour group from work. So that's all going well. And now this. Too many times in my life, getting a girlfriend was a goal I had. Nowadays, it's "OK if something pops up". I was always a late bloomer, and dating is no different for me. I'm just now where most 25-30 year old men are (I'm 33 BTW). That is to say more relaxed and whimsical about the concept of dating. Five years ago I'd be all geeked (a midwest term) about it and now it's like "cool, I have something to do for lunch on Monday". There, that's 1-2 minutes of your life you'll never get back. I apologize, but I had something to say You may continue about your day. Thanks, and good luck. DAMN (4) SUV tires are expensive. Why did no one tell me about this???
underpants Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Ha, I looked on Craig's list after all the recommendations. There were like 4 ads in my area. I think you and I are in the same place as far as looking at anything romantic with a fun and whimsical outlook. I made myself go on a date shortly after I was dumped (long ago now). Funny, I called it my "Mad Date". I cried to and from. It's all good because that fellow was also heartbroken (worse then me) and we just kind of hung out and had just had fun...dammit. I remember telling him that this was all part of the journey and that he should just chill and enjoy the journey. We are actually pretty good friends now, I even set him up with someone. I just wanted to post and say you sound like you are doing pretty good. Good journey friend.

I see a movie with Jennifer Aniston and... I don't know... insert some sheepishly handsome young male actor that all the girls fawn over nowadays.... Lorne Green??? :D
Star Gazer Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Honestly, Criagslist meetings REALLY creep me out.

melodymatters Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I always checked Craigs list for real estate stuff, and just started checking out the M4W section a couple of days ago. The guys seem so...entitled, it's like "heres a sentence I managed to write, now send me pics and impress me" personally I got a shallow icky feeling from it. That said, after your little ex adventure, have FUN Kry !!!!

underpants Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Awesome is the day when Nemo makes me feel better. Heck no....I am the dominant in this sick knowing. You will take the lemon and like it. Acidically yours, Unders
Nemo Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 You will take the lemon and like it. It was a challenge, but I got it up there... Acidically yours, whole. No leaks. I guess it was lightly waxed.

That said, after your little ex adventure, have FUN Kry !!!! Well The guy is supposed to type more than a sentence if he expects a woman to reply with a picture. But I have posted a long ad and there are still some women who will reply to me and ask me where my picture os-lol I was like-"Are you retarded?" You reply to my ad and request MY PICTURE????

That is SO awful, how could he ever have been INVOLVED with someone who would DARE do any of those things which is SUCH aberrant behavior and she is SO destined to be UNHAPPY because she wants to raise a CHILD and has the potential to have a decent PROFESSIONAL career.

alphamale Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Honestly, Criagslist meetings REALLY creep me out. Craigslist, in and of itself, creeps me out...
Hazy Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Craigslist, in and of itself, creeps me out... Exactly, and he's the one judging his exwife for....moving on with her life.
Author Krytellan Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Exactly, and he's the one judging his exwife for....moving on with her life. You're not really very accurate in your perception of what I think and feel. Please, keep assuming you know me though. It's amusing. And that chip on your shoulder appears to be very heavy.

And that chip on your shoulder appears to be very heavy. Ummm, looking back at your posts you completely judged a poster who was posting a problem that her boyfriend broke up with her because of ONE night where she was tired and didn't have sex with him. You sided with the guy automatically. When someone just got broken up with it hurts, and your reply was completely insensitive and you didn't even know the whole situation. So I'll go with my perception that you got a kick out of seeing your exwife who had a baby, and will probably end up making more than you, and you feel that is a bad thing, to raise a child and have an advanced education. truth is, she'll be the one ahead in the end.

You sided with the guy automatically. Oh, now I get it. You are imparting justice. It makes sense now. However, in saying I judged the poster in question you are way off. Look again. As someone who seems to do a good job of judging people, you will see that's not the case. And, if by siding with you mean presented an argument as to why he may have done what he did, then sure... we can call it siding with. As to your chivalric defense of my ex-wife, we will just have to acknowledge that you weren't a part of our 6 hour private discussion and really have absolutely no clue what you're talking about there. Your trivial attacks are very transparent. And FYI the average Non-high school graduate makes more than me and will be ahead in the end. I gave up caring about that long ago.
katiebour Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Have fun on the Craig's List meeting! I met several guys there that I went on casual dates with- it was fun And FYI the average Non-high school graduate makes more than me and will be ahead in the end. I gave up caring about that long ago. I SOOOOO feel your pain here! :lmao: Make that a cheap date, then

IfWishesWereHorses Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 After all the talk of craigslist, I recommended it to a friend who is not having alot of luck on a particular paid site. Unfortunately, I recommend craiglist, without the s and then argued for forever over the fact that it was NOT a porn site! God was I embarrassed when I got to my computer to check it out myself. It's now a VERY big joke with some friends of mine who are sending me helpful links for "my little problem". Waiting to hear how it all turns out! Good luck Kryt!
Author Krytellan Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 So, anyone who was around for my "do I use a gift certificate for Valentine's Day" thread will appreciate that I used that very certificate today on the "encounter". It expired tomorrow, and that was all the motivation I needed. This girl totally reminded me of the fling I had before running off to grad school. I don't know if that's good or bad, but just is. They were so much alike that I think it made conversation easier. It was fun. She wasn't freaky. Not writing out the invitations and not even sure if I like her or not, but what the hell. It was good for what it was. I always fell into relationships and this whole dating for the sake of it thing is something I need to do. Overall, good food and conversation and will definitely give it another go in the future.

You actually seem to have a problem with the fact that your ex has the potential to be a lot more successful than you careerwise. Anyway, you judged the other poster, you assumed her bf had a good reason for dumping her for being too tired to have sex ONE night. Also...do you ever consider that sometimes you have a low period in life but....it gets better? Your exwife isn't doomed to be unhappy as you wish her to be (as evidenced by the title of the thread, "ha, ha.") She will come to realize the joy of raising a daughter who will be the light of her life. She will always have that special gift of motherhood and she will come to cherish it.
Author Krytellan Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Hazy, as much as I would love to continue this dance with you, I have already spent too much time on my ex. She did enough in the time we were together and I just truly don't care enough anymore.
