I find myself in a strange position tonight: I have no one to go out with. Everyone is part of a fucking couple, and it's getting on my nerves. Plus, I feel lonely. I'd kill for a beer and a good conversation right now.
I decided to be proactive.
Back in 2005--when I first moved here--I found most of my friends (and all manner of other possibilities) via Craigslist. I decided to try it again. I spent some time this evening looking in the "activity partners" and "groups" sections in which I looked the first time. I didn't really find anything I was looking for, so I posted an ad of my own. It was short and sweet:
Try new restaurants and bars with me (San Francisco)
Some of my friends have recently moved away, and I'm looking for some new and interesting peeps of all stripes to try out bars, restaurants, and anything else we may see fit to get into.
Good: wit, sarcasm, curiosity, macaroni and cheese appreciation
Bad: closed-mindedness, dogma, bad breath, spitting on sidewalks
You in?
I've gotten one response so far, and I'm totally excited. We're waiting to see if we get a couple more before we make any plans. In the meantime, I'm putting together a wish list of places I want to try.

That's an awesome idea. I may have to try it.
If I were in San Fran, I would most assuredly respond to this ad. Excellent idea!
I wish I was not tethered, for just one night, to the requirements of my life. I would gladly go galavanting round the city with you, hopefully being witty and refraining from dogma and spitting.
Well, I'm a lot,lot farther away than a quick ride to San Fran, but it sure sounds like it could be a fun evening with you. Good luck!
