[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]craigslist, 2008.

hahahahaaaaaaaa. this was before everyone had a smart phone and dating apps. oh man, DC was a different time then.

we're happily married with 1 son. [/quote]

Also met on craigslist but in 2007...married a couple years later. Divorced after 10 years.[/quote]

Can someone explain how these Craigslist relationships worked? Did you put an ad out looking for a lover, or what? I am so confused with the idea of finding someone on CG lol [/quote]

It was less sketchy than it sounds now. I only went on one Craigslist date, but this was before dating apps. Even the online dating sites like Match and EHarmony were still really new. People met on Craigslist, MySpace, Friendster. Facebook was barely a thing. Anyway, it was like an ad in a newspaper, almost quaint. People posted notices (mfw, late 20s, like punk rock and water skiing, etc.). You sent them an email via Craigslist and if you wanted to, you would arrange to meet them at a coffee shop or something. You'd have a conversation. If you hit it off, you might exchange numbers.

Dating used to be much harder and require way, way more effort. Even early online dating. I remember feeling like I would never, ever get a date. And I was a good looking woman in my early and mid-20s. But it was brutal. If I'd had Tindr or Bumble or whatever, I could have been going out constantly. Though I sense I would have been just as lonely. Some things never change.[/quote]

didnt write this myself, but i totally 100% agree. i used to post song lyrics in my personals just waiting to see if someone would catch on. As if obscure Elliot Smith lyrics would help me find my "one" LOL[/quote]
