It’ll Happen When You Least Expect It

First of all- Hello. I am new to Dating Dames, filing in as the plural in Dames. I am a chronically single, self-proclaimed hot girl, and think I can add a little something to this site. My personal site is FitDarcie if you want to find out more about me.  I’m looking forward to chatting with you in the comment section.

I’ll start you off with a dating story. I always hate it when people say meeting someone will “happen when you least expect it”. I do agree with it, but at the same time, I wouldn’t pull down my Lavalife profile because of it. Then one of my friends was telling me a story about a guy she recently met…on Craigslist.

When I say she met him on Craigslist, I don’t mean in the personals section (Kevin over at PointlessBanter did a whole series on Craigslist Creep of the Week), I mean she put an ad on Craigslist to sell her sofa and met a man. Now, it wasn’t “Nice sofa, let’s hang out sometime”. She’s been working at it.

She started the story off my telling me that, via e-mail and by the sounds of his name, he seemed like he might have some potential. I knew I was in for a good story when she said that. So he showed up at the prearranged time (and she gussied herself up), and he was tall, dark AND handsome. He tried out the couch and said that if anyone else was interested to let him know.

The next day, she lied to him via e-mail, telling him that someone else had come by to look at the couch, just so that she could have an excuse to talk to him. A few e-mails later and they were scheduling a time  to meet up again…so she could look at his dining room set.

At the dining-room meet up, he offers her something to drink. Thinking she hit the jackpot, she said yes, and asked what he had. He answered water. Clearly an indication he was merely concerned with her level of hydration. It was even clearer still when he opened a fridge full of beer.

She told him she wasn’t sure about the table, and would think about it. Of course she is going to buy it, she needs more time with Couch Man! She arranged a time to meet up with him to pick up the couch, which is going to happen this week. I have advised her not to purchase anything else from him, no x-boxes or segas or whatever the kids are playing these days. I will update you with what happens when it does…and wish her luck!
