To me you sound like one of those friends who calls too much, NEEDY in a word. You've probably expressed your neediness in those first emails to the people from craigslist and turned them off.
Sorry to be blunt!
It's like when you date someone. There's nothing more off-putting than if they end up wanting to see you all the time, calling all the time, cuddle all the time, etc. Better to have a break from each other and have a life of your own in between.
Also you have to realise that people are busy these days. I sometimes don't call my best friend for a couple of months or she won't call me cos we've been busy with other stuff. There's no resentment, we just get together when we can and catch up.
I've been meaning to meet up with another friend for dinner for about 3 weeks but I've been too busy or she's been too busy, eventually one of us will call the other and we'll both be free and we'll meet up and have a great time catching up. We understand that we have our own lives to get on with!
Hope that makes sense.

"This just happened right now,so i figured i'd post about it. This bugs me too. Ok i have this friend that i've been talking to online for like 5 years. We live 5 hours apart but have met like 10 times. Every day he comes online,he never says hi,i have to say hi first. His messenger says "online" yet he won't talk unless I do. Then,when i do start talking to him,he says "i'm gonna watch tv for the rest of the night" but he leaves his messenger on and won't reply to me! I'm watching tv too,can't he watch tv AND chat with me? Its almost like he doesnt care if we ever talk. If someone has messenger,and has it set to "online",it bugs me when they would rather do something else and completely ignore you. "
This is exactly the reason MSN-ing became real boring real quick for me. Just because I happen to have my computer on doesnt mean I want to chat the whole time I'm online, I have my own stuff to do!
And it get's boring chatting to the same person all the time, maybe your friend wanted to chat with one of his other friends or maybe he just wanted a bit of peace after a hard day! A good friend would get that.
