This is an actual ad on Craigslist:
Hey... I saw you by a bench in Alley Pond Park today and you were feeding your dog grapes. I told you that a few years ago my dog Bear had a seizure and died after eating a bowl of grapes I left out.
You gave me a weird look, said thanks and walked away. Then you took out your phone and it looked like you were making a call or pretending to make a call. Now that I think about it, it was probably awkward for you to hear from a stranger that you shouldnt feed your dog grapes.
Your dog looked like a border collie and you looked slightly pregnant (maybe 2 months?)
Just wondering if your dog is ok and if you'd want to get a drink sometime? Or a coffee? I guess that's also a drink. I'm so awkward. Even on here!
Also if youre dog is sick we can wait until he's better to get that drink. Also if you actually are pregnant we can wait until that's over to get a drink.
Oh yea. I was wearing an orange polo from Macy's, cargo shorts, and black/red Onitsuka tiger 81s. I know you saw my shoes because you were looking down the entire time I was telling the story about Bear and the grapes. I removed my sunglasses when I approached you to show my sincerity and that I wasnt a threat. I dont think you were scared, just caught off guard is all.
I really meant well and I hope you can see that now. Maybe if you don't want to get a drink since you're pregnant I could just go on a walk with you and your dog? If your dog is ok that is.
If you feel awkward sending me a picture of yourself, just send me a picture of your dog. All other ladies - i appreciate your interest, but i felt a special connection with this woman so you shouldnt bother messaging me, but if you know someone who hangs around Alley Pond Park with a border collie maybe you could show her this?
Thanks.
