OK, I did put up a personal ad yesterday. It follows:
Hi. My name is Bob. I have a website, BobBorden.com. Basically, I have my whole life up there. I update it everyday with a section called Bob's Diary. I'm a nice guy but don't know where to meet a nice lady in Hoboken. So, I thought it would be a great idea to place an ad and write about it on my site. I will let you write about your experience on our date. Nothing will be edited, if you have a great time, write about it, if you have a bad time, write about it. I'm a good guy with a lot of interests. I'm 31, 6'1", with a great sense of humor. I love music and films. What's the worst that could happen, you make a new friend in Hoboken. Checkout my website, think about it and drop me a line - please include a photo, I'd hate to be scammed by some punk kid. Have a great day.
OK. It's been up for almost a day and here are all the responses:
Nothing, zip, zero. I'm not bummed out yet, again, only a day has passed. Maybe this isn't such a good idea? I just thought it would be something different/fun. I am serious about meeting someone. I don't know. I did receive one response. A girl,Cindi, wrote to me but it's such an obvious scam, it's not even funny. Nice try, dude. I'll keep you updated. I traded in some CDs last night and bought some new ones. I picked up the newRadiohead CD and the Plant/Page UnleddedCD. I'm going to listen to those today. I also bought something blind, meaning I know nothing about this band - The Hellacopters. I'm listening to that CD right now. Wow, so far, so good. It's rockin'. I think I got lucky. Usually when you go in blind, you get screwed. OK, I've got nothing else today. My message board seems to have a lot of action these days. Thank you. I just looked at this CD again and they have a song called Welcome to Hell and another called Paul Stanley! I just noticed that. I have a new favorite band! You should check out their site. OK, have a great one.
KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!
