Craigslist hauntings

The title really could allude to so many of my life experiences... mostly in real estate, but today I speak of an old blog post topic, revisited in my life.
If you don't feel like reading that, the basic story goes: I replied to a Craigslist personal about an Australian wanting to meet new people in New York. It was mostly for the story but I was also intrigued. I have a thing for accents. It didn't end well and I never met the man, despite his attempts at email charm.

Today, 11 months after our last exchanges, he strikes again!
---------------------------------------------------------
"somehow next week never happened... !

but now it's spring and i've been training with a rugby team and have
really come to love new york.. and i was thinking back to my earlier times
here and i regretted our never having got to go out together.

our last e-mail said "next week"... maybe we should just count it as

next week aka a week from this one, and get together finally,

j (from australia, if you recall)"

 --------------------------------------------------------
I admire his audacity, but I'm shocked he thinks he's got a chance. Afterall, a girl does not easily forget being stood up.  Especially not her first time.

  1. Can't trust the Australians. All a bunch of criminals.

  2. I'm glad you have nothing to say about the criminals on CL... unless that's just assumed ;)
