My OLD Story
Sun, 02-25-2007 - 12:46pm

i have been following this board for a few months now. suddenly single after 22 yrs, i knew nothing of dating ...so as i always do, if i want to learn about something, i go to ivillage... and i found all of you. i followed all your stories, and used your various guidlines and rules you have all set for yourselves, and joined yahoo personals for 2 months. i did meet a man thru that service, he was nice, emailed, im'ed then phone called for 4 weeks. we had a nice first meet, then i never heard from him again.
i became discouraged after that, and gave up on yahoo, i was seeing all the same faces...
so on a whim i posted an ad on craigslist.
after recieving over 300 emails in response..i discovered i had mistakenly posted my ad in casual encounters!! duh!!
well, as it turns out, after i had deleted 299 of those messages, i found one that was interesting, and not a penis picture email......met this man for a drink a few weeks ago, just on an impulse, i was bored on a saturday night. well, he was and is wonderfully wonderful! calls me in the morning and the evening, writes me the most beautiful letters daily, and i see him 3-4 times a week...wow!! we are twitterpated... the whole casual encounters snafu has been our little private joke, and i now own a tshirt that says...craigslist...as seen in casual encounters...LOL
so...i guess i am writing this note to you all to say....THANK YOU! ivillage comes thru again...
