So every time a relationship doesn't work out that started on Craig's List, my mother says "I told you so. That's not a good way to meet normal people ( Read more... )

Whenever I read your posts, I get the sense that you and I are a lot alike.

I wonder if Chris would agree, since he knows us both.

I'm not sure, we shall have to see if he replies

I origionally was going to say no... because you don't remind me of eachother at all, but upon further consideration I'd have to say that you have some things in common.
You both get very interested in certain things and collect them like historians, you both have a history of tempermental emotional lives (it's true) and you get really phased about certain things, you're both chill in certain ways and extreme in certain ways.
You're both straightforward and not full of shit, which is why I will always be friends with ya'll even when we disagree on something.
It's just that all of those ways and things are different. Stoddard reads where Jeff watches and listens, and Jeff is gregarious where Stoddard is quiet, and sometimes loud with his pants around his ankles.
The End.

personals... omris December 2 2006, 10:22:09 UTC

my parents met as pen pals. they've now been married more than 35 years. i consider that to be the equivalent of modern internet hook-ups.

or some shit. :)

Yeah, I don't think it's a bad way to meet people. I think there is a slight stigma associated with it, only because ten to fifteen years ago, it was only ubergeeks and perverts on the web.

A lot of the time, I don't think people post personals because they want to get into relationships, it's just that they want to have some fun. Basically, it's the same way with most dating. Or so it seems to me.

yeah, I wouldn't mind having a good time, but sometimes they kinda fuck with your mind a bit and that sucks.

Yep. I've had to rebuild my mindset on dating a bit because it got to me. I suppose I'm just trying to become less invested in the success or failure of the thing, though I'd certainly like it to be a success. Of course, I'm a combination of too busy and (still) too wary to take this mentality out for a spin.

Yeah, I kow I'm basically a nice guy, so when someone has a good excuse, I let it go, but every so often, i just want it to work out well.
