Craigslist Love

Is it possible that one could find a normal, decent fella on this hooker and scam infested site? Kinda.

His name is Aaron. I am a Craigslist fan and all, but those missed connections and MforW ads I looked at were for pure enjoyment. That is, until a guy found an achilles: Vonnegut.

Yep, good ol' Kurt brought me and stranger together. He liked the same books, the same movies, the same political views. Finally, a smart guy who just might not be socially challenged like the last few idiots. We emailed back and forth many times during each day over the course of a few months. Unreal. This guy was so interesting and funny and really liked most of the things I did. A week ago, we asked the question: Do we meet?

I broke my internet dating cherry on Saturday. He drove down from Truckee and picked me up to take me to dinner. I chose Suzy's Burgers at 28th and P for some casual grub. C'mon, he's a mountain guy-no fancy place where we'd both feel awkward. I had a good time. He was way cuter than I had planned, so after dinner we went back to my place for Bob and a movie. He brought his personal Bobber, so that alone was pretty cool. I chose True Romance with Christian Slater that was directed by Tarantino-whom we both love. As I started the movie, he handed me a lighter. Holy shit, its the same frog with a crown bic that I have! He found this interesting as well.

During earlier conversations, I had told him about my crazy ass cat and warned him that he can be out of control. Nope. Reggie walked right over to him and turned into LoveCat. The entire time he was there. So i kinda looked like a drama queen-but Aaron wasn't there when Reg tried to stone me to death militant-style. I guess the Reg just likes attractive men.

After the movie we hung out and talked some more. He had to leave around midnight as he lives more than an hour away. We hugged and he promised to come visit me again soon.

And besides a few texts, we haven't emailed since.

Craigslist. Like a box of chocolates.
