I’ve Been Craigslisted Vol. I

Hello all,

I write this to you as I watch the A-List awards on Bravo. God, I love Kathy Griffin.

So, 2 weeks ago I was at work and saw a handsome couple walk past my lane. They were in their mid to late 30’s and more than moderately attractive. Since it has been a LONG while since I have been out in the dating atmosphere and most of my flirting consists of me batting my doe eyes at Neil Patrick Harris, Anderson Cooper, Adam Lambert, Hugh Jackman, JC Chasez, Cheyenne Jackson, Matt Lauer, Seth McFarlane, Eric Dane, Lance Bass, Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd, Dean Cain, Justin Timberlake, Seth Meyers, Ricky Martin, Rupert Everett, that guy who wrote Milk and many many others through the television, I wasn’t expecting a response from my lingering, awkwardly penetrating stare.

But sure enough one them, I’m guessing the top, stared at me back! Even after he and his beau passed me he kept his smile lingering, his eyebrow devilishly raised, and stare piercing. Needless to say, that put a little hop in my step for the remainder of the day; until I came home, hopped on craigslist (NO JUDGEMENT I love the “missed connections”!) and saw this:


Red headed frat boy cashier with good eye contact - m4m - 38

You are a hot looking college age cashier with red hair. We are a bearish MM couple, 38 years old, You and I locked eyes for a solid 10 seconds as we were walking out of the store. Wanted so much to go back and buy something and go through your line, but we were late getting somewhere. We're done with our errands. Drop me a note if you want to have a SANDWICH. You are hot. ;)


Oooh, a sandwich! I hope it’s grilled cheese!! I love grilled cheese, AND tomato soup, unstopable that combination is. I mean serious yum…. Think about it, yum. But seriously, I was very flattered; I have never been called frat-looking in my entire life. I’ve learned the hard way, no pun intended, that no matter what people say, there is no perfect three-way. Even though gay men can hook like Legos, someone always ends up as the odd man out - believe me.

I wrote him back a very polite email saying that I thought he and his boyfriend/partner were both very cute, but I had a lot going on right now. Maybe we could reschedule? I did not get a response.
