wow, reading all these replies has been eye opening
Does this ever work out?

Never used Craigslist, and I can't say that I would. I don't really trust people to be honest about things (Especially diseases) so I'd rather get to know someone really well before doing something with them. I did meet my current boyfriend in a chatroom, but it had nothing to do with dating.

craiglist is not safe
01/26/2012
i'm always hesitant to hear of people meeting up from the internet. just be safe. Tell a friend you'll be out, and if they don't hear from you by x:xx To call and double check. Always use protection, to prevent sti and diseases, and meet up in a public place.
I would also recommend getting a few conversation in; but that's just me.

Thanks, but no. lol

I haven't done that

I've thought about it. I do troll the pages on occasion, but I haven't found the right person. Plus its a little awkward because they all seem to just want a blow and go or something of the sort. I'd like something a little more... consistent shall we say? Like a Friend With Benefits.

I dated a woman I met via craigslist for 6 months. It didn't work out but that had nothing to do with having met her on CL. It can happen no matter how you meet the person. It's just a tool to connect with new people. Now that I'm single, I will occasionally contact someone and sometimes go out on a date with someone from craigslist or other online sites. As long as you're safe and discriminating, I think it can be a good resource.

I feel like there aren't really a lot of avenues for women-seeking-women to say "hey, I want this," so with something like Craigslist, you really do get all types. If you correspond some, voice verify (some people insist on a phone call to prove the other person is real/serious, and I think that's smart), and meet in a public place where it's clear you can leave if you're not comfortable...then you're ok. CL has a bad rep but it's no worse than a bar (and in some cases probably a little better, since you'll have talked with the person ahead of time while sober).

Just not my style. I prefer face to face growing relationship that starts out already knowing them, but if it works for you that is awesome

I know people it has worked for, but I haven't done it myself.
02/09/2012
I'd really rather not use Craigslist for anything. I've heard too many horror stories..
02/09/2012
never done craiglist before but I've heard it's worked for others

I am happily with someone though i do look through the craigslist personals just to get the occasional giggle at some of the very odd things that people want to do or have done to them.

My ex and I met on the women for women craigslist. She seemed super amazing at first and we ended up dating for several months. However the original post was edited by a friend of hers and when we started talking she presented herself very differently. I think that you find that on most sites and even in person so why not try.

Ahhh! (sketch) My favorite word! Please tell me your from California. I think the idea of checking with a friend is amazing too and I met her in a public place so I wasn't going to be placed in too vulnerable of a situation.

02/17/2012
I'm not brave. After the craigs list killer story...
02/17/2012
I've never tried it, and I'd be wary of it. Be careful!
03/05/2012
I've never done it, I'm proper wussy about anything.
03/05/2012
I don't know. Either way, be careful. Public meetings, let people know where you're at, and all the jazz.
03/11/2012
never done before

I've talked to people over Craigslist, but I've get to meet up with any of them for a date. People on there tend to be unable to read what you write for some reason or just reply anyway and hope you'll give them a try.
