How to Meet a Great Man on Craigslist

Internet dating is pretty much a standard way to meet people these days. But few people know the benefit of dating via Craigslist. I'll show you the safe, affordable, and rewarding way to meet a great man on Craigslist.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet connection
• Email address
• www.craigslist.org
• Strong dose of reality
• A positive attitude

1. Decide what is most important in your life. What are your beliefs, hobbies, causes? Imagine the person who would fit into your life and write an ad describing what and who you are looking for. Search for a specific kind of man that shares unique, yet important characteristics like you. For example, if you enjoy rock climbing and sushi put that in your ad. You want to attract a man who has one or two main interests, or beliefs like you.

2. Post your ad in the women for men section of Craigslist.org. Choose the city or metro area closest to you. Be realistic about the distance a person would have to travel to see you and visa versa. Traveling out of town can be stressful, potentially dangerous, and can get old quickly.

3. Be realistic about the results. When you narrow your search you will only receive a handful of responses. This is good because you are looking for the person that is compatible to you.

4. Screen the responses you receive. Does what he says speak to your heart? Do you find him attractive? Does he come across as honest? Is he positive? What do your instincts tell you?

5. Choose two or three candidates to correspond with and exchange emails until you feel comfortable with receiving phone calls. Eventually you will discover who your favorite person is in time. If none of them is right for you, start your process over again and tweak your ad to be more specific.

6. Develop an unattached point of view. You don’t know this person well enough to make any emotional decisions. You can always make the decision to end the relationship so don’t feel pressured to continue seeing a man when you don’t want to anymore.

7. Know what you want in a relationship and have a good sense of boundaries. Things will not always play out like you imagine but anything too far off is a warning sign that this is probably not what you want.

Tips & Warnings

• Post other ads and see if you get responses from the same men or man you are fond of. Does he say the same thing, using the same words as he did in his initial response to you? If so his canned response is a sign that he is not honest and not interested in you as a person. He is playing a numbers game and the more charming he seems the worse it is for you. He has perfected his game is likely only after one thing.
• Guard your heart for the first two to three of dating. You need that time to determine if he is right for you.
• If a man pressures you to go faster than you are comfortable with going discontinue corresponding with him. Trust your instincts.
