Loneliness & the Infinite Sadness

Feeling lonely and mischevious, I conducted an impromptu social experiment via the Craigslist (er, Craigslust) platonic personals section on Friday night. My intent in doing so was two fold: 1. I was lonely and wanted someone new to talk to. 2. I wanted to see just how many nasty assholes would attempt to contact me despite my warnings about only wanting to chat. Of course, I had some weirdos reply, but I also had two interesting ones. The first was a so-called pilot from Canada who stated that he was married, so when that was mentioned, I definitely had to set up some steel toe boundaries with him. For a day, it was nice, but then he started trying to be really flirty. And when that happened, I would bring up his wife and reminders regarding how precious the marriage covenant really is. After I began to bore him, he ended it with a smirky comment. And another one bites the dust... The second one was a 49 year old educated Hispanic guy with penchant for music. Now him, I really did like because the conversation was easy and not at all flirty.. However after a day or so, he asked if I would like to contact him offline via text and he gave me his personal email address. I really did like him, but something just kept telling me to wait before I got in too deep. Well, on this morning, instead of saying "Hi" after he emailed me with a Good morning "Hi," I decided to wait a while before emailing him. Well let me tell you this, it was a good thing that i did that, because homeboy has some serious insecurity and anger issues going. So with that being said, I decided to cut him loose instead of utilizing my father's method of slowly but surely weeding someone out of my life. The one thing that I glad about is that I didn't allow myself to stomp him verbally, because I really wanted to. When he made the statement that everyone else via CL treated him this way, I almost made the statement that he was the common denominator. I'm really glad that I did not do that, because that would have really ticked him off. Oh well, the experiment continues. http://toohottieforthatbody.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/cameron-thats-messed-up-modern-family.gif
