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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

OKCupid. eHarmony. Tinder. PlentyOfFish. IMVU. You don't have to be lone-leeeee at FarmersOnly dot coooooom! Craigslist is for buying, selling, trading, discussing, job hunting, and ranting. There is no one there in the personals section other than gay or desperate (sometimes both!) men and robots hunting for your credit card digits. Yes, I'm speaking from experience. I was a lonely adult barely out of my teens, too.

Next week on FML: "Today, I went into a brothel and left with herpes. FML"

Wh-what? How the hell did this happen? Okay, let me tell you something. You need to weed out bots by saying, "If you're real, put x in the subject." Also, you should always be wary. It's really not that hard to meet someone on there, you just have to use your head. And yes real women do use it, you just have to be patient.

It's Craigslist. You got off lightly.

Why would you try Craigslist of all places? I know there are crazy people everywhere but Craigslist is full of them. Try a social media site or going to public events :)

How in the world did she get your credit card numbers?

Maybe try a dating site OP? I met the man I'm going to marry on Plenty Of Fish a year ago and I'm happier then I've ever been. It doesn't matter how you and the other person are brought together so long as y'all are both happy. Good luck finding companionship!

How'd they get your card number? Were you trying to pay for something?
