Singles get struck by Craigslist’s arrow
December 6, 2007 – 11:58 amWhen my editor suggested that someone put an ad on Craigslist and find out why people use online dating services to meet people, I was more than eager. Meeting new people has always fascinated me, and it seemed like it might be interesting to use a new forum to make connections. I have to try everything once.
With the risks in mind, I placed a personal ad on Craigslist. I was careful not to include revealing information, but I also tried to be honest. You can’t expect someone to be honest with you if you’re not honest with them as well.
It’s refreshing to see that one of these “on assignment” online daters had a positive experience for a change. Many people are quick to bash online dating, but forget all the terrible dates they went on with people they met in person first. This is a quick and easy read.
Craigslist is a quick and easy way to find a date, but as with other services that try to be everything to everyone, singles are buried in the site. Check out something similar offered by my company: http://www.datesexlove.com. It’s for singles only, so you won’t have to dig around…
