Reader Response - Aren't strangers fun?

Okay, look.  I KNOW I've been slacking with this lately.  I have some valid excuses (out of town for the past two weekends, busy in the evenings, not willing to blog while at work even though some of my days have been pretty light lately).  You probably don't like any of those excuses.  I kind of want to say "tough."

But I won't.

Instead, I'll tell you that I am absolutely, incredibly, more-than-super frustrated.  I have tried THREE times - yes, THREE - to post an ad to CL in the last two weeks.  Guess how many of those times the ad has actually posted?  Go on.  Guess.

Bet you can't.

So I'll tell you.  ZERO.  Ever since CL has started making you log in to post an ad, NONE of my ads will post.  I'll keep trying.  But I'm running low on experiences.  And if I can't get an ad posted, I'm not going to have anything to write about. 

In the meantime, here's a story from a reader.  Enjoy :)

So I am a member of a well known dating site and was contacted by this guy who lives some 3 hours away. He offers to take me fishing rather than the bog standard 'wine and dine.' Thats ok with me, I *like* the fact he got to know me well enough to offer that alternative. Then he invites me to go stay,and says he will follow the ground rules of no sex, separate beds. Except, he will pay for the bus ticket and pick me up from the closest bus stop to his little country town - an hour away. Uh no thanks. I'll drive myself, in my car. (allowing for a 'quick' getaway). I keep talking with this guy, even though I'm a bit wary. Then he asks how I'd feel if he WALKED INTO THE BATHROOM WHILE I WAS SHOWERING! I'm all 'cool' and say its just a naked body, while thinking that this is about the third reference to walking in on someone in the shower. Once as an accident I can believe. Bringing it up 'in case'??? freaky. But thats not all. A couple of days later, he asks what I'd do/would I think it creepy if he WATCHED ME SLEEP??? Super freaky. Now ok, I don't like closed doors, but come on, asking what I'd do if you (a guy, and a complete stranger at that) did these things, well before I am thinking of visiting..well..lets just say that his chances of getting a visitor he wanted to 'get to know' are rapidly declining.
