No I am not putting up friendship adds anymore. But I do look sometimes to see if there are any older men seeking friendship. I= then I can respond to them. I found an older retired guy looking for a friend to show him around Dallas and see stuff in Dallas with him. I wrote him and he wrote back! He's cute!

I know I am not dating now because of my addiction. But I don't see any reason why I can not have a guy friend!

Just looking for friendship but when I get over this infection I have im going out to do activities, maybe I can meet more friends there.

I can't be in a romance but would be nice to have some guy friends.

Well, I certainly hope you get over this infection and become as healthy as possible :)

If you don't mind me asking, why can't you be in a romance?

I am a sex and love addict, addicted to porn so I only have a year and 3 months of sobriety. I'm going to a psychiatrist. It's like being a recovering alcoholic, its good to wait a while till I'm ready to be in a relationship, sometimes getting into a relationship early on in early sobriety can get you messed up and make you relapse.

I am also obese at 290 my weights been maintaining I have eating wrong and right this year but my infections from my wound have kept me from gaining but Id like to get some of this weight off before I get into a relationship as well.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles in life. It's not easy.

A year and 3 months sounds very good to me - so well done on that! You go girl! :)

Seeing a psychiatrist is a good thing, and brave, so that's cool too.

I'm sure you will be able to get some weight off in time.

I sincerely wish you all the best of luck with finding a romantic and sexual life partner(s) when the time is right for you. You deserve love and affection and sex and all that stuff, and I really hope you find the right person.

Good luck! :)

I thought Craigslist ceased offering such ads a few years ago due to prostitution?
They did but they came back under activity partners under community. There's groups artists politics, a place where they debate politics, rants and raves people who want to complain about society groups like churches that type of thing and then activity partners.

It should be stuff like exercise buddys or dinner mates but now its become romance partners, sex buddies and yes even prostitutes have made their way back.

Too risky in my opinion. Besides Craigslist from my understanding has removed personals unless it's been reinstated. The reasons given was because of prostitution and hookups with underage and such.

I am not talking to anyone now from Craigslist he was married. Number 2 again look under community and activities, people request activity partners for sex and love and friendship and whatever...............on craigslist. But he was married so I threw him back. It is mostly creeps.
