After living in the city the majority of my life my family and I moved to a small-town farming community in Iowa. We were tired of the chaos, the crime, the commotion.
We longed for simplicity, peace, and quiet. The city is a minute drive from our home. I thought a gal pal would be great. I thought, maybe making a friend in Iowa City will be good for me.
I thought, she can show me the lay of the land and we can check out the sights while learning from one another. I thought this will be super cool. I decided to check out the Strictly Platonic ads on Craigslist.
Some of the ads I read were off the chart. Do not try to fuck me. I decided to place my own ad. I had one person email me 11 times. Yes, 11 in a two-day span. I had only replied to her once after she sent the first email. By the 11th email, she asked me to pick her up at the airport and take her to lunch. I felt stalked. I also received this short but forward and to-the-point email from another person. We can email or text though. I am interested in you and your life, by what you posted.
Everything you said intrigues me. I used to love to write hand written letters. As to another writer. Would love to hear from you. He replied with nothing that has to do with my ad. Then there was this response. I get bored. My husband works days. When he gets home from work, he just wants to watch television and I am itching to get out and visit or do something active. I can get out in the evenings and on weekends, but it is not fun to do things all alone.
