The Scientist/before the date

I posted this ad on craigslist a few days ago:

alrighty, here goes it...

i am 26, sbf. cute. i'm a designer and tend to get along more with other creative types (photographers, designers, artists, mimes...etc)

it's so hot today that i'm inside, but this would have been a nice day to enjoy a hidden corner of the MoMa. instead, i'm going to spend the afternoon finishing up Perfume by S¨skind. (argh! what is the key command for the umlaut?!)

i don't have any height requirements like a lot of girls on here. (i think that's dumb) and i'm probably one of the most laid back, drama free, friendly people that you'll ever meet. you should be too. i don't care what race you are, but please don't be as old as my dad. (he's 63--i prefer 26-35 give or take a bit).

you love scrabble and picnics. i'm really itching to play with someone in the park soon. i also tend to swoon towards the cute men these days in nice glasses with a little facial scruff.

lastly, i don't have any crazy expectations or demands, and you shouldn't either. lets email a bit and see where it goes...

write me. your pic gets mine, but not if your reply is a cut and paste forward. that's whack.


________
Of course i got the typical round of replies. Two people stood out the most, one guy I'm meeting tonight, and another one that proved to be a total douche over iChat (thank god i didn't meet him, and he's definitely made me NEVER EVER even think about replying to a musician ever again)

Anyway, this guy is 31. And apparently he works in a science lab growing bacteria. I would think I would never have a thing in common with someone with a science background, but so far the email exchanges between us prove otherwise. We'll see what happens. I'm meeting him in an hour. I will either be back here posting about the time I had in less than an hour if it sucks, or I'll come and post about how eh/meh, and or good/great it was. So standby....-cew
