This one is a little bizarre, because it is out of place in the sea of hook-up seeking and similar antics. Was it really all about the ducklings or was there something else underneath it all? Who uses this site to connect and find out about that? They must be familiar with the usual activity here, yet they think this is their go-to for something else.

If it's tonight, how is "morning" relevant?  I guess if they sleep over...  Well, at least this guy's direct, I guess.

Something about the "You:" "Me:" format that makes me giggle.  There's some weird movie/script in their head they figure will play out or something.  Just how meaningful was this encounter, really?

Seal the deal with the birthday invite...aww yeah.

Not until you'd shown me them before this topic, and I'm kind of sad that stole some of it's thunder, but now that I'm actually searching for some they are kinda weird.

Pretty sure the Lego box was where his eyes were going.

There's a surprising number of ones like this where I'm like "How is this supposed to help?". 

It's a sea of awkward people who can't seem to articulate well.

This has to have a story behind why they couldn't just call them, visit them, email them... 

Seriously such an awkward site.

Craigs List is probably one of the most american creepy things lingering around the internet. 

From murders, to rape, to creepy stories all sprouting from it. 

Let's be honest, even the name is a bit off putting. 

Who is Craig, why is he making lists? Couldn't they have come with a better commercial name? 

Seems like a website made in someone mom's basement that kind of worked out. Even the interface is disgusting, looks like it was made by a really lazy developer.
