He so nastay

Craigslist. Yeah, I keep telling myself that not everyone using it is weird. After all, I'm using it and I'm not weird. But of all the guys I've met on there, only one has been relatively normal. Unfortunately, I haven't spoken with him in about 6 months.

So last Saturday, V and I took my laptop to a bar with wifi and posted a personals ad. A ton of guys responded and I've continued corresponding with one of them. Patrick sent us some hilarious emails. He had us in stitches. But then Tuesday, the emails took a turn. Among other things, he asked if I would take my top off on a topless beach and what kind of sexy outfit I'd wear in order to seduce him. I was vague in my answer to the topless beach question and I ignored the sexy outfit one. My mistake was in answering this one: "Do your bra and panties have to match for you to go out?" I said that they don't and then added, "Who says I'm wearing panties anyway?" I think I opened the door because it was all downhill from there.

His next email included this line: "Your hair, and smile make me think very seriously about taking you, bending you over the......wait a minute, I am getting ahead of myself...." V convinced me that he was probably being funny, not purposely dirty. That made sense because he'd been funny all along. I wrote back keeping it clean. His response included more sex questions, e.g., how would I rate my sex drive and where is the "secret spot" I like to be touched. I didn't answer the questions. I wrote that I couldn't bear to answer any more questions by email. He asked if I'd like to talk on the phone and that's where I've left it.

Ugh. I'm not a prude. I'm just not comfortable talking about sex with strangers. He had such a great sense of humor at first. I was really looking forward to meeting him and having fun. I don't know why he had to start the sex talk. Anyway, I'm not going to give him my phone number. At this point I'm still interested in meeting him. In a public place. With clear boundaries set. And both of his hands on the table.
