This week we travel, somewhat reluctantly, back into the lovin’ arms of Craigslist for a glance at what the lonely people of this fair city are up to. As far as quality goes, this week’s MC is akin to the traveling strippers of Alberta: not your first choice, but better than seeing your hometown’s locals get up there and shake it for a few beers.

Textbook “I like him/he doesn’t like me back/he also has a supercool girlfriend who is much more attractive than me and I can’t compete with her fun sexy charm and well-readedness” situation. Someone needs to go back to Pining 101 with Professor Carlene: if you work up enough effort to tell someone you are interested in them, you have to face the consequences that maybe they don’t feel the same way and might want to avoid you the next time your mug comes around. Bold moves sometimes garner bold responses, and in this case, that is clearly what has happened. I assign finding a new source of cute plaid shirts (I suggest the local library), and start looking for a new object of fixation. Because unless you’re willing to stick it out for 3-5 years, wait until he’s single and then tell him you’ve always loved him in an airport, you’ve got better things to do. Leave the pining to the masterclass. 

You know, this mentality might be why I have such brilliant dating luck… until next week.
