While looking for the worst Craiglist Personals ads to highlight this week, the unthinkable happened. I actually came across a good, witty Craigslist ad. I really hope this person gets a lot of dates out of this.

I’m clean, have all my teeth and an extensive vernacular.

In general, I was a bit melancholy and couldn’t shake the feeling. More »

About a week ago, this guy who I’d been hooking up with for about four months and I both finally realized we were getting attached. My crazy single life was at the risk of ending, but as it turns out we wanted to deal with the situation differently: characteristically I wanted us to be exclusive and he wanted us to actively see other people.
