[Restrikted]

So I was looking around the old Craigslist the other day, and I stumbled upon the "women seeking men" section. Now, as I am currently without a girlfriend and I don't know very many people at all up at college, I was thinking about trying it out and maybe make a few friends/gf. Unlike the eHarmony sites and stuff, there is no personality trait matchers or anything, just people posting ads for themselves. Basically, if you're looking for a friend or girlfriend, you start by sending them an email about yourself, and take it from there.

What do you guys think about trying this out?

On the one hand, I'm thinking to myself "YOU ARE FREAKING DESPERATE AND WEIRD!" Even if I found someone interesting and she liked me, the first meeting in real life would be awkward! But on the other hand, why not give it a try? Worse comes to worse, they aren't interested and I never meet them, back to square one.

What do you think, should I give it a try?
