<![CDATA[I can't help but notice that people are more willing to communicate via the internet than they would be in person. Why is that? I have attempted to start up a conversation as I waited in line at the grocery store and the conversation was stilted without a connection being made...but here on the internet... I can start a conversation and the next thing I know I am being asked "Can I add you to my friends list?" Are we more comfortable in conversations when there is some sort of buffer between us?]]>

A friend who is happy to just snuggle with you and do nothing else. A friend who doesn't care if you brush your teeth or what you are wearing.

<![CDATA[To have someone that you can chat with about almost anything or be able to bitch and complain to them about your friends/significant other because they don't know any of them...or maybe just to have a sounding board, or someone to encourage you to follow ur dreams or to be honest and tell you when they think you are being stupid...Well, here I am...:) About me...I'm in my late 30's, but can relate to just about any age, I am a lesbian but I am not contagious, I am in a long term relationship and also have kids. I know a little about a lot of different things and would be more than happy to be someone for you to chat with...and the best part is...I won't charge you..:) I'm not trying to take away from you professional therapists/counselors out there, its just that sometimes we don't need a pro we just need an ear...and I just happen to have 2 of them..:) So, ladies, I am at home mostly during the days so if anybody needs/wants to just chat/rant, I'm here...And I love coffee, so maybe sometime in the future, I would be willing to go for coffee and listen..:) Take good care and Have a safe Holiday next week! ]]>

<![CDATA[So. I'm a night owl. I do weird things at weird times. I go to Wal-Mart at 3am to get random things because I'm bored. On the way, I like to get a little crispy so I don't look like I'm too out of place at wal-mart at 3am. I'm a random dude. I perform and record music when I can, I like to work on things (car, house, music, etc.) I'm new to Columbus and I'm looking to make friends who like to go out. I used to be a really social person, I don't know what happened. Now I'm on the fucking internet at 1am asking for someone to talk to me. Weird. It's amazing what solitude will drive some people to do. I need to meet someone interesting. I think I'm pretty unique, and can be a fun (or at least interesting) person to talk to. I get all fired up over debating the most simple things. I love it. I can talk for hours on behalf of an idea or ideal that I myself do not believe. I think it's fun and really helps one to understand the perspective of an opposing side. That was another random thing about me. I also like to drive. anywhere, nowhere, for hours on end. I turn the music up (looooouuuuudest bass I can produce), listen to many different genres of music and see where I go. See? More random shit! It gets pretty easy after a while!!!! Let's see, what else? Oh yeah......Your turn!]]>

<![CDATA[I'm just looking for someone single (as in not married, attached, pining for the old boyfriend, separated or trying to find themself while staring at the impending divorce) to hang out with from time to time as our schedules permit. If a relationship follows, fine, but if not then another good friend is always welcome. I'm a 47 wpm, 6', 200, and as I like to describe it "follicly challenged." Very independent, never married. Confident, responsible and somewhat introverted. I prefer simpler things in life; don't need to be impressed nor take on a different persona to impress others. I'm just an average middle aged guy looking to get out and enjoy the impending holiday season, not a lot of fun being alone during this time. Let's take in a movie or a Blue Jackets game (I split season tickets with friends), maybe go for a walk at Highbanks, where I strap on the new nano Ipod and make some attempt at exercise on occasion, even in the cold. Haven't been on ice skates in forever, a trip to a Chiller would be a new adventure and a way to test our middle age endurance. Do not smoke or drink, reformed on both, but do not mind nor judge those that do. Love music and enjoy getting to shows when I can, and have been known to take in a bar band here or there and maybe even a bluegrass festival once in awhile. The Ipod has reggae to swing to alternative to classic rock and everything in between. Last purchased cd is Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, if you're familiar with it we have a lot in common. If this seems interesting to you, let's chat. You've seen me, would love to see you, but I will respond to all one way or the other. ps-Bonus points to anyone who knows the source of the posting title - and it's not Shakespeare. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi. I am 23 years old and work in Dublin. Then I come home and do nothing. Sad, I know. However, I am from 2 hours away and don't have too many people I know that are my age around here. I have 2 cats. I love them :) I love scary movies and books. I am looking for someone just to hang out with, go out and do things with. Movies. Shopping. A drink here and there. I am usually pretty shut up during the week but am mostly free on the weekends. Send me an email and we can trade facebook/ myspace!]]>

<![CDATA[I'm waiting for a meeting that I need to attend at 7:30 and, rather than drive all the way home and back, I'm staying here at the office until it starts. I've pretty much taken care of everything that needs to be done today so I've got some unscheduled spare time. If you happen to be online and looking for a little conversation let me know. I'm a captive audience.]]>

<![CDATA[Unlike most of the other CL posters I'm not looking for a serious committment from anybody. As far as I'm concerned this is just pure entertainment. That's the beauty of Craigslist. It doesn't cost anything to use and there is no limit to how often we can use it. There are times during the workday that I would like to correspond with someone or meet them for lunch or a cup of coffee and then just go back to doing whatever we were doing previously. It's a nice break in the action. That's all. I work in an office on the southwest part of town. Once a week I'm on the northeast side of town as well. None of the other employees of my company have the same job that I do so I haven't really formed any bond with them and would like to strike up a friendship with someone who isn't an employee. I'm a handsome, mature, professional and am attracted to the same type of woman, i.e., between 40 and 50, good-looking, not looking to lose 20 pounds, and intelligent. If you've got some free time during your day to chat or meet let's give it a try. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi my name is Alex. I recently got hurt on the job and I am unable to get workers compensation! I have 3 young children, a wife and a sick mother I take care of. My house was recently torn up by the landlord because of faulty water lines. They were supposed to pro-rate my rent for all the work I did and paid for out of my pocket; now the landlord is refusing to pro-rate the rent! I am in desperate need of help!! I have 3 days to vacate our home! Please, someone help before I lose my home! I need 1050 paid to Charter Properties. Any donations will help and be greatly appreciated. This is not a scam; it's real- life. I'm up a creek with no paddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if someone has a place big enough for my family to rent for cheap, I would be willing to move out of this place! Need help ASAP! Thank you.]]>

<![CDATA[Just here on business for a few days.

Prefer single/divorced white male that is a decent guy.. this is not about sex or weird stuff.. normal woman, college educated.. not a hottie at all.. just looking for a friend.. ]]>

<![CDATA[Well, I guess now you are curious....I am a lesbian just looking for friends to email/hang out . I am in a long term relationship with a woman, so I really am just looking for friends. I am a stay at home mom, so I do get bored from time to time and it would be nice to just hang out with other people. You are either straight or gay, it makes no difference to me, but it might be nice if you had kids too cause it would give us something in common. I am very down to earth with a great sense of humour and I can get along with people anywhere from 21-75 yrs. old...:) Hope to hear from you..]]>

<![CDATA[Hey... my name is Dustin. I like making new friends, and I love to spoil my friends that are girls. Whether it be buying them things, paying to get their nails done, paying some of their bills... i just like to spoil them. I know a lot of girls spend their time spoiling boys and getting taken advantage of. I think of myself as a nice guy that believes girls should be treated better than that. Especially girls going to school, you can't afford all the things that you want to do. Maybe I can help you pay for them. We can be just friends, but I will spoil you. If you want to be friends, and be spoiled... write me and tell me a little about yourself. What do you have to lose? You'll get some nice things and a good friend out of it.]]>

<![CDATA[The title pretty much says it all....I'd like to have the company of a nice lady (40+) for sushi this week. Let's enjoy some good food and some good conversation. Me, attractive, slender, intelligent, witty. You too?!]]>

<![CDATA[So here is the deal. My boss is having our holiday party on a Sunday when we traditionally have them on a Saturday. This kind of cuts out the fun factor and prevents everyone from drinking as much as they typically like. I need to find a girl who is extremely sexy, dresses scandalously, and can flirt with my boss to make his wife upset and drive the point home Sunday parties aren't cool. You will receive free dinner, free drinks, and hopefully an enjoyable night. About me I am very tall, athletic, and very handsome. I can send a pic to any girl interested and I promise you won't be disappointed. If you are interested please send a pic so I can see if I think you will do the job. Hope to hear from you soon. ]]>

<![CDATA[I am a 42 year old man. I have posted here before but have not found a REAL person like me. I will be upfront, as I always am, I am married. If this bothers you stop reading now, and I don't need preached to. If you are still with me maybe you can relate. I don't want to leave what I have at home but I want and need a friend. Some one who knows life isn't always perfect. I don't care if you are married or not, I am not here to judge or be judged. Do you need a person to talk to on a day to day basis? Maybe we will only talk online, maybe on the phone, who knows we may never meet. I am an open minded, upfront, and easy to talk to person looking for ta person who is also. Lets talk what do you really have to lose? By the way GO BUCKS!!!!! I am real are you? The Buckeyes are going to kick some Wolverine *** this weekend!!!!]]>

<![CDATA[Hi. I'm looking for a friend. A female friend. I promise you this isn't just another guy looking for sex. I've always had good female friends and currently, well I need one to talk to. I'm a married man, 39, father of three. My relationship with my wife is horrible. We are basically together for the kids. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her. We grew apart years ago. I'm a friendly, easy going person. Love to laugh. Into cooking, gardening, reading, writing. Love libraries and museums, coffee shops and cafes. College graduate, intelligent and well read. I'm a die hard liberal. Bit of a hippie at heart, but don't look it. Love the quirky things in life. Can be a tad sarcastic at time, but not mean. Looking for someone similar. Someone perhaps in the same type of situation. We can email, chat, maybe eventually meet. We'll see. I'm not looking for someone just to bitch and moan about life with. Looking for someone to have enjoyable, fun conversations with. anyone out there?]]>

<![CDATA[Hello, looking around. I'm very bored and would be glad to listen or share some emails, instant messages (yahoo), etc. with intelligent women. Say hello when you can.]]>

<![CDATA[hello!! I am currently looking for a roommate (female). I live off Georgesville Rd which is on the southwest side of 270. It is about 15 minutes from downtown. I live in a townhouse with 2 bedrooms, a washer and dryer, 1 bathroom, dining room and patio. I have a puppy who is a Boxer named Tucker and several reptiles (though I'm trying to re-home some). Rent would be $335/month PLUS water, gas and electric, and I have cable as well (with internet). So roughly about $450 a month. (In my opinion, the apartment and the entire complex is very nice. There is a pool and workout room as well). About me: I am 22 years old, white female. I grew up about 30 minutes east of Columbus, graduated from Ohio State in August and just broke up with my boyfriend (you would be taking his room). As I said before I have a puppy so you MUST love dogs. In my free time I help teach scuba diving at OSU (a big hobby of mine...hopefully soon to be a career), horseback ride (i don't have my own horses though), watch movies and just generally try to get out of the house. I very much enjoy traveling and hanging out with friends. I do like to drink occasionally and am moderately 420 friendly. I am easy to get along with and keep my promises. The most important thing between two people is they talk to one another and compromise. About you: somewhere between 21-27, female. Hold a steady job and will NEVER have to wonder whether you'll be able to pay rent or not. Easy going, enjoys laughter, easy to get along with. CLEAN (you clean up after yourself, you do your part of chores/ household cleaning). NOT a druggie (but 420 is ok) and NOT an every-night party-er (this is a big deal to me!). if you're still in college thats fine! you can get out of the house a lot or stay in, whichever. of course, we will have to meet a couple times to see if we click well together and most importantly, i must be able to trust you! It would be nice if you were looking for a friend as well as a roommate :) Please let me know if you are interested. Again, the biggest thing is that you are serious (my lease goes until july 31, 2009) and trustworthy. I also have a lot of furniture so i'm not sure how much we could move in, but there are garages here available for rent for $50/month. If you are a guy reading this who fits all the description items and are interested, you can email me...BUT i'm not looking for any type of relationship or FWB. please, serious inquiries only. Thank you!!! -Lisa. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi! I'm planning a road trip for this weekend and as of now I'm planning to be in Columbus this Friday 11/21. I want to go to the zoo, and will probably spend the night in the area. Is there anything going on Friday night? I'm open to suggestions. I am NOT looking for a hookup of any kind.

<![CDATA[I'm a nice, laid back country type of guy. I am 50 years old and looking for guys that have the same interests as I do. I grew up in this small town and have grown very fond of it. I never grew up driving a tractor and combine, never plowed the fields no did I ever show cattle and show pigs. But there are those of you that did. I work in the health care field and am searching for others in the same boat as myself. I'm happy living where I am but I would be a damn bit happier knowing a few other in the gay community. Be partnered or single I would like to get to know you guys. Lets see where this leads. If several of you are in the area we can gather here at the house for an easy nite of gathering and forming new friendships. God knows I haven't met a gay man yet that refuses free food and drink! Location: Madison/Clark/Franklin/Union..... ]]>

<![CDATA[will be at club columbus wed afternoon, interested?]]>

<![CDATA[Well, I'll give this a second try.. General: I'm 26, 6'4", trim, attractive, intelligent, social, easygoing, fun loving/comical, diverse, and generally a nice guy with a few rough edges. Interests: Music composition (piano, guitar), writing, games (Rock Band/Guitar Hero, WoW, Call of Duty), electronics/software design, outdoor activities (hiking, walks in the park, fishing), etc. I'm part introvert, part extrovert. Life is tough all over. I'm recently out of a relationship which put a huge dent in my social life, and I'm finding it pretty tough to meet new people. It'd be really nice to find some signs of intelligent life in the Columbus area.. someone to hang out with, have fun with, vegetate with. I guess I'm in the market for a new best friend - though I'd settle for just some decent company. People close to west Columbus are preferred. Write me back, tell me a little about yourself and perhaps leave an instant-messenger alias or something if you'd like to chat. ]]>

<![CDATA[I am bored at work and looking to chat with any ladies that are also bored. Shoot me a response if you are interested ]]>

<![CDATA[I tried this awhile ago, and a few people responded but they dropped off. I would like to have some females to hang out with once in awhile. I'm 22, will be 23 in a little over a month, and I find that since I had my son a little over a year ago, most of my friends have dropped off the map or are too busy to work with the schedule of a mother. It would be nice to find another person who has a child for playdates and to vent to when the runts are driving us insane. I don't party too much, don't smoke, and very seldom drink. I love my movies and when I have the extra cash and a babysitter I like to go to the theater. I am a big book reader when I can find the time, love different kinds of music, and am a dork about anime. I'm in school, taking classes online, for my Associate of Arts degree. I also love having people over and cooking for friends. Every other weekend and a day or two during the week I have a car and am able to meet up somewhere if you'd like. I'm also always open to having people over. myspace for myspace, yahoo im for im Sounds like someone you get along with? Just send me an email and we can start talking.]]>

<![CDATA[I'm looking to start a support group for gay/lesbian parents. Maybe you were married or became a parent through a previous relationship. Or, maybe you adopted, had help from a surrogate, whatever the case might be. Are you considering becoming a parent and just want to talk with local people to find out what to expect. Are there any gay foster parents out there? Co-parenting? Everyone is welcome. I would eventually be willing to have meetings at my home if there is enough interest. For now, we can meet at a coffee shop or restaurant. If you are at all interested, please get in touch. I hope to hear from you!]]>

<![CDATA[Its just about the weekend come Thursday...so lets go out and watch the Steeler game. I plan on going out either way, but would rather have some company than watch it alone...dont sit home and be bored, come out and join me!!!]]>

<![CDATA[Young professional black male and white male seeking new friends to hang out with, play games, have dinner parties, watch movies, go out for drinks, etc. We're a fun loving couple of guys who are looking for some other decent people to hang out with. If you're out there then we hope to hear from you soon!]]>

<![CDATA[I have strep yet again this year and stuck in bed. I am no so lonely I have a computer, woohoo but I rather someone to talk with. Anyone want to email back and forth? I am a good person, whole hearted, caring, sweet, fun, enthusiastic and majority of the time spontaneous. Make me feel better! ]]>

<![CDATA[This may be a long shot, but I would like to form a close friendship with a straight man who is secure enough to have a gay man as his best friend. I think there can be a unique bond between two guys of different orientations and both can grow and learn from each other. Would like someone who is my peer and around my age range 35-45. If you are married that would be fine, but just have the time to invest in building the friendship. For me an instant click happens with a gemini or a libra. ABSOLUTELY NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE HERE!]]>

<![CDATA[I would like to form a group that gets together regularly to hang out at each others houses and play board games, cards, darts, etc. knock off a case of beer or a few bottles of wine and fellowship with one another. I am sure there are other guys out there like me who love to do these types of activities, but don't have the network of friends. This could be a great way to interact, meet new people and enjoy some male bonding. All would be welcome.]]>

<![CDATA[Sometimes I get a little bored at work and wish I had a nice guy to talk to. I like to laugh and talk with someone who has a good sense of humor. I am 41 and wish to talk to someone around my age. I do not want to see pics of anyone naked so if you are into that then keep looking. ]]>

<![CDATA[I'm not looking for anyone; but, if you are you just found me. If you're interested you will know the routine. Everyone needs a friend, at least one good friend.]]>

<![CDATA[I'm a big geek. "This food is problematic" geek. "The enemy's gate is down" geek. I love books, and movies, and music. I knit. I'm Christian too, which seems to be a problem for a lot of fellow geeks. I won't give you a bible for your birthday. I won't tell you that you need to accept Jesus. If you want Him, you can bring it up. But I don't shove Jesus down people's throats. I don't think that ever really works... Anyway. I imagine that the first couple sentences hinted at what sort of geek I am. It seems like all of my friends are 24-44. I'll be 21 in January, and I just want some friends who won't be talking about mortgages, their doctorate or their spouse all the time. They're great but... understandably in a different stage of life. I like coffeeshop and libraries and parks. We could go to such places! yay. Look forward to your emails. If you don't... well. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa. That was a joke, haha, FAT CHANCE! :)]]>

<![CDATA[I was wondering if anyone else may be in the same situation. I have no family around, so without traveling it's a quiet Thanksgiving. I'm all for quiet times but maybe not on Thanksgiving, plus I can't cook. I would love to find an attractive woman (mind, body, and soul). Deal would be. I would be happy to buy the food and help with the cooking. Please refer to last sentence in the first paragraph ;-). So if we could make food and have it done before football starts. Kick Ass!! The best part of Thanksgiving is eating and watching football at the same. I’m laid back, fun to be around, liberal, have manners, attractive, and just looking for a fun memory to think back on someday. I’m looking for. A Fun, laid back, liberal, smart, attractive girl who also likes to eat a lot on T-day, likes football and maybe even drink some beer. This couldn’t be done with just anyone (lets be real). I am not expecting any thing to come from this, but figured why not try. Are you her? ]]>

<![CDATA[well the title says it all columbus sucks just looking for someone around my age to hang out with from time to time. pretty laid back guy here open to anything or anyone really just bored out of my mind 23 5'10 155lbs blk male here. get at me!]]>

<![CDATA[I'm a grad student looking to get into better shape but having a tough time getting my butt to the gym, though I pay for it with my tuition. I'm looking for someone who wants to go in the evenings. It doesn't matter if we work out together or just go there with me so we can hold each other accountable to go. Since it doesn't matter whether we work out together, it doesn't matter your age or if we have much in common, I just need someone reliable. ]]>

<![CDATA[looking for witty, well educated, cultured and travels abroad. I prefer men who have a bit of mystery(reserved), age 30-50, has class and a bit of charisma wouldn't hurt . I'm a BF,5'2, 135 lbs, no children and steady job.. email me if this interests you ]]>

<![CDATA[This may sound ridiculous but it's been my experience. Over the past year I've only made a few good connections with attractive women on Craigslist but they all seem to live and work in Westerville. Go Figure! We correspond for a while but, because of the logistics, we never actually get together and pretty soon it all fizzles out. I work southwest and, while I see nice looking women in the community, they apparently don't frequent Craigslist...or so it would seem. If anyone attractive (and slender) in my neck of the woods is interested in making a new friend with a handsome, mature (45+), educated, employed guy, let me know. I don't ask for much, just a little correspondence. Let me buy you a cup of coffee (or something stronger) occasionally. LTR's happen sometimes, but rarely, so I'm not seeking it. I don't care if you're married, single, or whatever....just looking for a new buddy. Send a pic if you're inclined, you've got to admit, it saves a lot of time.]]>

<![CDATA[Anyone up for getting together to watch some football Thursday? Just looking for some fun company. The weather sucks but the Steelers dont and its almost the weekend!! You know you dont want to sit home....bundle up and lets get together!!]]>

<![CDATA[...is to do some passionate kissing with a woman! Age race unimportant, but we need to be attracted to each other, so please share a picture with me and I will do the same. Single white professional guy here...]]>

<![CDATA[I am looking for a married or unmarried woman to go with me to the Winterfair craft show on Dec. 4 or 5th. at the Columbus fairgrounds. I am 58....5' 10" ....170 lbs...brown hair and eyes. I like to go, but really don't want to go alone. My wife doesn't like to go, but she doesn't mind if I take someone with me. I will buy the tickets. I would like someone about my age. Please be serious.]]>

<![CDATA[What's your contention? Do you enjoy this snow or do you hate it? Personally, I think it's fine as long as it melts on the road. However, it does make for a gloomy Monday and that's no fun... So let's chat! I'd love to find someone to pass the time with. What did you do this past weekend? I'm a tall, dark and handsom man just looking for some online company. If you're as bored as I am (it's not even 9am...) then drop me a line and let's brighten up this day.]]>

<![CDATA[Well, I happen to have an extra ticket. I won't go into the details here, but it's become available. I'm really just down to meet someone cool who loves the band, and wants to go to a free show. About me, I'm normal. No police record, or habits of doing things that could result in obtaining one. I think I look normal enough too. About you, be cool and respectable. No drama. Nothing one wouldn't expect inviting a complete stranger to a concert. I should probably throw all kinds of clauses in here, but it's simple enough. ]]>

<![CDATA[Really all I'm looking for is a nice person to go to shows with no older then like 22 and whos passion is music. Particularly some of the more underground or indie shows around here. I just seem to have a hard time convincing my friends to see a band they have never heard of and considering they dont look into the scene as far as I do I miss out on alot of shows. Just message me and let me know what shows you plan on going to! ]]>

<![CDATA[I'm the type of person who is really, truly dedicated to those I care about. I don't know what I've been doing wrong all this time, but I seem to be a magnet for flaky people. You know, the kind of people who don't return your calls or change their plans all the time or just blow you off period. This kind of makes me seem like the problem is me, but that's not so. I'm nice, with a sense of humor, if not kind of awkward at first. I've had bad luck lately, though. I'm not asking for a marriage here. It would just be refreshing to meet people who put equal effort into their friendships. So if you can't make time for me or be honest, respectful, and willing to give as well as take, then you should probably move on. That said, more about me. I'm full time employed, not a student, I just work a really shitty job in the area. I work late, too. The good thing is I almost never have to get up early after a night out. I'm not really into clubs. I'm more the beer-swilling type who enjoys a firm bar stool and talking to the people around me. I'm a non-smoker, also currently a non-driver. No roomies which is nice most of the time, but it gets lonely. I'm outgoing and down to do just about anything when cash flow permits. I like indie, punk, nineties, most types of music besides country really. I know this is weird for people my age but to be honest I don't care about Obama, or anything related to politics, except when I'm being sarcastic/making jokes so if you're heavy into the liberal-y, activist-y, my vote makes a difference! scene I'm not sure that we'd mesh. Just giving you the heads up. Shoot me an email if I catch your interest.]]>

<![CDATA[Hi. My name is Heather and I'm a lonely, devout Christian. I desperately want some friends. I have a neurological disease called Dystonia, which has left me wheelchair bound. I'm a real kid at heart. I have shoulder-length, golden-brown hair, green eyes, and an average build. Anyone with qualities of honesty, loyalty, common interests, nice people are what I'm looking for. Is there anyone out there who enjoys God, singing, amateur acting, Avatar: The Last Airbender, American Dragon: Jake Long, Ncis, anything Disney, etc? Male and female are welcome! Doesn't matter what you look like.]]>

<![CDATA[Platonic. Is it really that hard to understand??? Does the 'friends only' blurb selection before you post your ad still not give it away??!! Platonic. Look it up. This isn't a 'friends only' as in "sex but no relationship" sense of the word. Here, it REALLY does mean friends only. As in no sex. As in JUST friends. Wow. The amount of morons who mis-post these ads amaze me. Really. If you are looking for a 'start as friends maybe looking for something more' please, for all that is still good in the land of CL (and there isn't much left) post in the LTR section and state that you are looking for a friendship that MAY develop into something more. Is it really that hard??? Please, think about the purity and innocence of the Platonic section. Treasure it. Respect it. Love it. ]]>

<![CDATA[Okay... before I begin my actual post, I must rant a little. Do people NOT know what platonic means? I don't normally flag, but I'm sick of seeing posts that should actually be in the casual encounters section. Friends only does not mean friends with benefits. Gesh. Okay, the rant is over :) on to the real deal. I am looking for fellow female friends to fight the battle of the bulge with. I'm 5'6" and currently weigh about 180 pounds. I'm looking to drop about 40 pounds. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who is positive, nice, and has a life... but wants to meet new cool people, (like me! :D) workout together, talk about eating healthier and bitch about the evils of ice cream and naturally skinny women lol. I don't really care about your age. Just be upbeat, motivated, and fun. I belong to the Urban Active in Hilliard and it would be really nice to have a workout buddy during the winter. I'd prefer you live in Hilliard or in the surrounding areas so it's convenient for both of us.]]>

<![CDATA[Hi, My name is Bill and I live in Cleveland. I am in an unusual dating situation. The guy I'm involved with has kept me hidden from his family for almost two years. Suddenly this Christmas he wants me to meet his whole family, but only as a "friend". I've decided I can't do that, so now I have nothing to do for the holiday. Hence the ad here. I guess what I'm hoping to find is a nice guy, or couple, in the Columbus area who can host me for the holiday. I would drive down on Christmas Eve day, stay over Christmas and leave either day after Christmas, or at some point that weekend if there's a friendly compatability. I had contemplated going out of town to a hotel but A)That would be boring as hell and B)More expensive than I can afford right now. I'm putting this ad up now because I hope to find someone who answers and be able to correspond in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I am NOT looking for a dragged out one night stand situation. I will chip in something to anyone who can host me for the holiday. Perhaps dinner Christmas Eve? In spite of the oddness of this ad, I am anything but odd. I am a very nice guy myself, intelligent and with a GREAT sense of humor. More details will be related in emails. Thanks for your time.]]>

<![CDATA[orr just someone to chat with on AIM. I thought the thread title might get a little bit of attention. i am just bored and lame and looking to chat, so if you're bored and lame too maybe we can hit it off. get at me]]>

<![CDATA[A bloke to shoot pool with, or hang out at a bar with, or watch a cinema and/or dvd film with? If so, then don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I live outside of Columbus, but am willing to travel to have a jolly time for a couple of hours at least. I feel like I just work 5 days a week and nothing much to look forward to at weekends anymore. If you're easy going, warm and friendly and open minded with a sense of humour and, at the same time, can understand my British tongue, then that would be splendid indeed! If you wish, we can correspond via regular email or through Myspace for a bit, in order to familiarize ourselves better. Take care and have a wonderful day. ]]>
