My friends were going through the (gay) exotic massages and other sexual offers on Craigslist and laughing at how funny some of them sounded. They got to one that had a familiar number. It was my boyfriend’s number.

—Jane Doe

Aftermath: Had a guy friend set up a time and place to meet him. I was there too and broke up with him.

We went out once. He Facebooked friended me that same day. I didn’t hear from him again for, oh, a month, so I thought it was safe to assume neither of us was particularly interested. I unfriended him. A day later, he refriended me and asked me why I unfriended him.

Aftermath: It was a non-starter. I haven’t responded to the friend request. I think it will stay that way.

He started making plans for a joint vacation (after only four days of knowing each other) to New York’s Chinatown because he wanted “to learn more about my culture.” I’m Korean.

Aftermath: He was a very clingy, sticky rice queen, so it wasn’t too difficult quitting him.

She told me she was spending the weekend at the beach with a guy she met on an Internet video game to “figure out how I feel about him, face-to-face.”

—Derrick

Aftermath: She ended up with another guy she met on the same video game.

We went on two dates. After the second one, on public transit heading to our respective homes, he tried to convince me to go home with him. I wasn’t sure I liked him all that much, so I said no. He then proceeded to talk dirty to me the last few stops. We had barely even kissed. Ew.

Aftermath: I stopped answering the phone for a few days, so I don’t know if he called.
