Today, I tried the 'Casual Encounter' page on Craigslist. Three hours, a bunch of spam, and a 30-minute call to some company, speaking to some lady I could barely understand to recover the $40 somehow charged to my card. I think I might want to try other ways to meet people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tried to find myself a friend on Craigslist. FML
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 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 went on two dates from a dating app. The first one said halfway through that we couldn't date because it would break his contract. The second one catfished me. This is why I have multiple dates in one day. They never end well. 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 told me to try dating apps, saying, “What's the worst that could happen?” I just finished paying some girl $100 to not send a dick pic to all my Facebook friends. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, I was browsing a website where you can talk to strangers anonymously, when I met a guy I really hit it off with. After talking for two hours, we decided to keep in touch, just in time for me to hit the "Next Person" button by mistake. There's no way to undo it. FML
Today, a man asked me on a date. It's been so long, I accepted immediately. He began quoting what seemed like random numbers to me, and it took me a few minutes to work out what he meant. Not only was I mistaken for a prostitute, I'm also worth, at most, $60. FML
Today, it was my first Grindr hookup (I know, I know…) and I ended up getting catfished by some random dude. I decided to just have a walk and get over it, but then I got followed by another random dude for 30 minutes. I can now confidently say I hate men. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I feel like, if you went out and asked out, I dunno, a coworker or something, you would have better luck. Or cats, cats help.

If you are dumb enough to give out your credit card number to someone who responded to a craigslist ad, how is that craigslist's fault? I've ****** a half dozen chicks off craigslist and I have never given out my credit card number.

That's not something I'd brag about. Does it burn a lot when you pee nowadays?

Gotta say, though, for the kind of person who says shit like "I ****** half a dozen chicks", there probably aren't many options besides craigslist.

There are plenty of sites for that purpose that are way less sketchy than craigslist.

craigslist isn't the worst way to meet ppl but if your gonna spend 40 bucks on it sounds like a prostitute/john situation.

Yeah you're better off without Craigslist. Too many crazy people and a lot of stories of that website turned me off. Try your local club or a place you like to shop

I'm sorry but that second "sentence" is bothering me so much

You must've done something wrong. I've never ever ever had to input credit card information on Craigslist and I've sold items, searched for roommates and housing. I've posted dozens of ads for those purposes and never used a credit card.

This is possibly the most YDI thing I've read here in weeks. Come on OP, just go to a casual dating site like OKCupid or something, or even Tindr.

100% YDI #1 Throw-away e-mail address #2) Never give out CC information. Any other questions?
