I’m just old enough to remember personal ads in the back of the newspaper but too young to have placed any, and that feels like a tragic lost opportunity for me. Short format, no pictures, just “here’s my pitch for fun, love, community or all of the above”:

You have a vegetable garden, I like to cook. Play-date in the kitchen?

Steve tired of the dating scene takes out a personal ad in the local paper to find a date. Eddie who is now a famous rockstar does the same. Neither of them uses their real name. Steve because he’s embarrassed and Eddie because he wants to find real connection outside of his fame. When they finally meet up they immediately recognize and remember their reasonings for disliking the other. They spend the whole date recounting their past grievances with each other. They go through dinner, a movie and a van ride home arguing nonstop. The next morning they wake up naked in Steve’s bed making plans for a second date.
