You post an ad on Craig's List. An intriguing one. It's my first time replying to one, but I figure, what the heck, I'll do it.
Now, how you totally scare me off:
1. Reply in a matter of 5 minutes. Late on a Friday night. (At that point, after seeing her photo, I realized that it was someone who had e-mailed on the dormant Match.com account, that I wasn't that interested in, but I think about getting back to her in a couple days, after the 30 hour working weekend. Couldn't hurt, I figure.)
2. Send another e-mail on Saturday, asking if you're interested. Tone is insistent.
3. Send another one on Sunday, repeating your question, but even more insistent this time. I get both these e-mails at the same time and this makes it worse.
4. Send another one on Tuesday, but this time, a little scarily, from your myspace.com account, where you have somehow tracked down your account. The tone of this e-mail is a little bitter and disappointed. It has been three days since the original contact and I've worked 40 hours in those three days and seen a concert, and now I'm pissed. And totally scared off. I was going to reply, but certainly not going to now.

*No judgements as I write this comment* but I've always wondered why people would do the whole Internet dating thing. It just seems so impersonal to me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't meet anyone from the internet...after all, I got to meet Kmart and ACW (two guys who are always one beer too many away from some hot man action) and they are great guys. But meeting people off the internet to date? That just seems so...I dunno.
Is there a reason you like to do it?
Well, I can't really say I "like" to do it, and I've never actually done it. I've never gone on an Internet date. But I sometimes dabble in it on the off-chance that I would find someone interesting enough to meet. I don't do so well in the bars with this. I've got this sort of fantasy that it would be a whole lot easier if the two of you knew that you were there for dating purposes and not for "let's just be friends" purposes, which is where I always tend to end up.
well, epiph, I saw you and fool in a pic, and I gotta say...you're cute. so I don't know why you don't do good in bars. but bars aren't that great anyways. Do you want to know where I met my past three boyfriends? barnes and noble. In the history sections. Seriously.
anyway, i'm drunk as fuck right now. i'll email you tomorrow when I'm sober and at work.
