w4w is 4w, not couples!

Remember slowlovin? I replied to her ad about a week ago? Well, we had a few more exchanges then a small period of radio silence. Imagine my surprise when I received this from her today...

Things have changed a bit for me. I am now part of a new couple actively seeking a submissive bi-sexual female to unite in a poly household. We are not looking for casual sex partners, we are serious about finding someone to build a long-term relationship with...

Stranger than fiction.

w4w

Hmmm ... I was honestly looking to sell some furniture when I stumbled into the women seeking women section of craigslist. Funny how the mind and fingers wander sometimes. Anyway, I saw this ad:

Hey women for women,

I am looking to meet a cool woman to hang out with. Acknowledge the spark but take it chill at the beginning then. Slowly build into a relationship. I like to take things long and languid ;-*

I'm not into threesomes or whatever but good luck to those who are. Just don't message me, please.

Thanks!
slowlovin

And responded ...

I saw your ad on craigslist and you sound like my cup of tea. I am a 36 year old lesbian from Montreal ...

you know the rest :)

in the shallows

So ... what do you do when the online someone you have been exchanging increasingly intimate emails then chats with finally sends you their photo and the photo is not great. In fact, the photo is so not flattering it illicits a, "That is their best photo?" response. Is it appropriate to already be planning someone's makeover before the first face to face physical date? Probably not. However, I do feel that it would be completely shallow of me to all of a sudden break off contact and current date plans.

Maybe I can hang onto the hope that she sends a bad photo of herself to weed out the shallow people from her online potentials? Either way, I'm going in. Cover me!
