Today, I put up an ad on Craig's List to find a best friend. I don't know what's more pathetic: looking for a best friend online, or the ad being removed almost instantly. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was so desperate for a friend that I posted a Craigslist ad to find one. Now my phone's filled with spam and I still don't have any friends. FML
Today, I tried to find myself a friend on Craigslist. FML
Today, my friend posted my picture on Craigslist under the "men seeking men" section. I got 16 replies with 2 hours. He then decided to post another picture of me under "men seeking women" to compare results. The only reply I got was from a man. FML
Today, my friend put my phone number on Craigslist. I still can't find the ad, but obviously everyone else can because I still haven't stopped receiving naked pictures. FML
Today, I found an ad for my job at my company on an online job board. FML
Today, I put out a public ad for a dancing buddy. No pictures, just a brief description of what I was looking for. A guy answered and we started chatting. The more he revealed, the more familiar he sounded. Yep! That's him! My stalker from 10 years ago. Guess I have to move. FML
Today, my online ad was deleted for being in the wrong category. I'm looking for a good home for two old horses, so I'd put the ad in the category “Horses”. Maybe I should try again under “Lawn Mowers”? FML
Today, I made a Craigslist ad looking for hot and horny women that wanted some. I only got one reply, from another guy asking me if this kind of thing actually works. FML
Today, I declared I was done with online dating after several disasters. My friend set me up with a friend of her husband's. Turns out he's one of the men who rejected me on the website. He laughed when he saw me and said, "Well, this is awkward" and left. FML
Today, I was looking at dating profiles with my single friend, trying to find a guy for her, and we found my husband's profile. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Looking for a best friend online isn't necessarily pathetic, but it is if you're looking for one on Craigslist. YDI.

What a coincidence, I put up my friendship for sale on Craigslist (mint condition!) and the ad was also removed instantly. You know what that means... WE'RE MEANT TO BE BESTIES!

Why would they delete that? They kept my ad for a tennis partner.

Ummm... Sorry, but that sounds pathetic and desperate. If I came across an ad saying that, I would never click on it for fear of having a stalker forever. Ohhh, wait, that'd be you, wouldn't it? My bad. Not.

I met my best friend on Craigslist, so ignore all the naysayers. People act like the "normal" ways of achieving best friendship are the only ways, and they are not. Internet friendship is definitely possible, with the people who don't cling to the false belief that "going outside" or "joining clubs/boards" or whatever similar friendship "advice" is the only thing. There is a such thing as a social outcast/reject, and it's perfectly understandable to seek friendship on Craigslist when the people in your area refuse you (which is what happened to me). As for "time" nurturing a best friendship, that is, again, false. It can happen on a handshake and a hug. :)

for* and I'd like to clarify that finding a best friend online isn't pathetic. Removal of an ad isn't pathetic at all, though. That's bad luck (:

"Craigslist" I know I know

I've made friends on the internet before, simply because: A) all of my friends have moved 150-200 miles away, B) I've finished school, so I have no chance to make school friends, and C) I'm currently unemployed, so no chance to make work friends either. So if you don't have any place to make friends, it makes sense for the situation at the time.

Oh, I've made friends on the internet too. There's nothing wrong with making friends on the internet, it's almost inevitable when you're a regular poster on a forum. But posting an advertisement on Craigslist is just not the way to do it.
