Craig's List
So i found an apartment on Craig's List.....like real fast. It was amazing after calling a bunch of twat real estate/housing people, I called a guy and set up a sublease with ease.
Today, I have been looking through the personal ads there just for fun. Some seem crazy: religious, 3 kids but "real picky" --( I bet ), BBW (which in cattle terms means black/black white-face--- Owned by Youngblood thinks it means big, beautiful woman or something, but then I found this one:
Oh, Columbia--you frustrate me. - 24
<hr> <hr>
Ok, so this is a complete shot in the dark--but, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I am a 24-year-old Mizzou graduate student who is getting frustrated with the Columbia "dating" scene. I'm sure it is the same with most graduate programs, but I tend to frequent the same places with the same people...which is fine and fun, but severely limits my chances to meet new people in Columbia. However, that being said--I'm not quite adventurous enough to just go out to some bar on my own and strike up conversation. I'm also not a huge fan of the crazy busy bars in town, so that is also slightly limiting since I'd probably meet a lot more people at a Harpos or Shilohs (but again, not a big fan).
Either way, I'm at the point now where I'm just looking to finish up my program and as the workload increases, the going-out decreases. So this seemed like a good option (a friend posted on CL's in STL, but that is a way bigger city...).
About me:
I'm a short (5'3") grad student who values family, friends, health, and education. I've been told I'm "attractive", but I'm definitely not a super model. I run a lot (marathon-training starts soon) so I'm fairly thin. If you're looking for C-cups and up...not here :-) It goes hand in hand with the running, but I'm also a non-smoker and will not date anyone who smokes. I, obviously, enjoy going out but tend to be a home-body. I like to cook and such, watch a movie, etc.
I am looking for a friend with high-relationship potential. Haha, that sounds silly, but I reall want to get to know someone before jumping into anything--but the end goal is to be something. I am tired of randomly dating here and there and not committing to anything (on both a guy's part and my own part). My friends are all settling down and while I'm happy for their new houses, babies, engagement rings and such--I am a touch jealous. No worries, that is a LONG way down the road (I can barely take care of my dog, much less a husband and/or child)...but I'd at least like to be on that road with someone.
Typing this out makes me realize how boring I am! Haha, I know you're supposed to sell yourself and all...but really that's all there is to me. Please send a picture--I don't want to seem shallow, but clearly attraction is the start to everything. I will gladly send one back. <!-- START CLTAGS -->
