edit>> Apparently I forgot to include the "no-spam" request. Silly me. In the subject line, please include the kind of pet I have. Thanks.
While I was standing outside begging my dog to poop, it occurred to me that it's another Friday night. Another night of hanging out at my buddy's house drinking and playing video games. Bleh.
Don't misunderstand, I like drinking beer and playing video games. It's just that this will be the fifth Friday night in a row. Thus, a rut. Which needs to be escaped from. Also, springtime, right? Time to try the dating thing again. Since my usual tactic of glancing at women out of the corner of my eye and then quickly looking away doesn't seem to be raking in the digits, I figured... Craigslist.
Disclaimers:
I'm a full-time student. This means that I am poor. If you're looking for that guy who will take you to fancy restaurants, buy you expensive things, and whisk you away for monthly vacations to existing and magical destinations... well. Not it. Also, Craigslist? Really?
I'm quitting smoking. My goal is to be done immediately following St. Patrick's Day weekend (I'm a realist). Anticipate and plan accordingly. If you're a smoker that will be smoking around me, please move along. Nothing to see here.
420. Nope, not for me. Keep going.
I like to drink. Not as in "I have a drinking problem." I just like to drink. If we're going to spend a significant amount of time together, some of it will be in a bar. I don't care if you can match me beer for beer, but I'd expect that you'd have at least a few.
I have a dog. (see above) If you're allergic, try the next posting. I hear he's a keeper.
So, if you're still with me...
I like to read. Books and the Times. Not so much magazines.
I'm in pretty good shape. The gym is my second most frequent destination. (Third if you count my puppy's poopin' spot.)
I love going to seedy dive bars.
I spend a lot of time biking and walking around the Lake. Not literally. That would take a LOT of time.
I'm short. 5'5". I don't care how tall you are, but forewarned is forearmed.
If you're thinking that I might be of interest...
Please be literate. I deduct points for spelling and grammar.
Please note that I took some time to write this. A sentence and a picture aren't going to illicit a response.
Please be in shape. Not, "I've got to drop 40lbs or so, but I have a gym membership." If you send me a misleading picture (head shot) and you're obviously overweight when we meet, it's not going to go anywhere. Please don't waste our time.
Please realize that I'm not looking for a one-night stand or a hookup. I'd like to date. Maybe for a while. We'll see how things go. :)
Oh. I don't want a pen pal. I will actually want to meet in person. Makes the dating thing so much less awkward to explain to my friends. "No, really guys. She's in... Canada."
I think I've covered everything here... Let me know if there's something I missed. Hope to hear from you. :)
hookup with this person here
