An introduction - Francesca

I recently found myself entering the single life again after two years of continuous relationships. I was excited...it had been so long since I'd been on my own, and I couldn't wait to just have some fun. I mean, it was the start of summer, I had great expectations for the adventures I could go on. I didn't want to jump into something serious with anyone, but I did want to start dating. Enter the problem: I didn't know where to go. I moved here two years ago, and while I have managed to make great friends, they're all people I work with. My social life involves people I work with all the time. I don't want to date these people. I don't want to date their friends, because, frankly, it will probably just create problems when things don't work out. So...I turn to the greatest thing for single people of my generation: the Internets (I love GWBushisms). I have used the Internet for dating in the past...it's how I met one of the recent exes. It's pretty much made for those of us who don't want to just meet people in bars...and it's easy. But this mode has grown in popularity, so the more pressing question is: which site(s) do I go to? I was completely unwilling to pay for any communication, so this limits me. I decided to utilize my latest addiction: craigslist. I'd been reading the best of section of that site for some time, so I have an idea what to expect. But honestly, it was hours after I've been dumped, so I wanted to see what kinds of funny responses I can get. What is it they say...the best way to get over the most recent person is with someone new? Well, it was time to just open the floodgates: Internets, I'm single again!
