DAY 148: Reader’s Choice.

In my quest to find 21 dates for this month, I’ve tried using just about every internet site I could think of that didn’t have the words “man” or “hunt” in it. From Match.com to Crazyblinddate.com to even finally joining Facebook… I have exhausted just about all of my options. Expect for one. My old standby: Craigslist.

Now I don’t know how it is for you straight people out there, but for us gays, the “men seeking men” section on CL might as well be called “men seeking a dick up their ass,” or “pee on me.” It is not a place you go to find a date. Unless you’re desperate… like me.

I posted an add stating that I would like to find a (sexless) date for Valentines day. I figured if anyone was crazy enough to go on a date with a stranger for V-day, it was going to be someone from CL. Much to my surprise, I got a number of responses. Even more surprising: The people responding weren’t all crazy!

Now, I’ve already set up my date for tomorrow, but I still have lots of open slots on my dance card for next week. So dear readers, I leave it up to you. Below are two responses that I am contemplating following up on. In my comment section, vote for the one you think is most worthy of my love:

Hey, I’m 26, a grad student studying international politics, and have lived in several countries around the world. I like all things related to health/food/cooking, and I like to stay active and outdoors, travel. I love trying new things and experiences, and love being happy and surrounding myself with good people. I’m also one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Hope to hear back!
