In light of the fact that the personals here all date from last semester, consider this post the place to post new personals for the Fall 2007 semester.

All guidelines and disclaimers listed in This Post still apply.

Welcome to Wesleyan Personals.

This works much like the Anonymous Confession Board (wesleyan_acb) in that everyone should reply to this entry to post their personals (like the confessions at the ACB).

Post whatever you want that seems to fall into the "personals" category.

You can post anonymously or as a logged-in LJ user. You can give information about yourself (such as your name, year, looks, likes and dislikes, etc.), or just say what it is you're looking for (a type of person, a date, a cuddle, sex, friends, someone to go to an event with, etc.). You can do those "I saw you here, our eyes met, it was a moment of beauty, want to meet?" types of posts. Whatever.

You are encouraged to be positive and friendly, but there will be no moderation of the comments unless seriously unsavory things start occurring (insults, spamming, etc.).
Discussion is just fine. Feel free to respond to posts that you view negatively, just like at the ACB.

Finally, be warned:
The creator of this community has no say over who posts in the comments. Therefore, follow typical dating common sense procedures (don't meet in secluded or strange places, try to check out who the poster claims to be before meeting them, don't respond to comments that seem especially sketchy, all that jazz).
If the person claims but cannot confirm that they a Wes student, don't trust them. If they are a student, you should be able to find them in the Wesleyan student directory Here.
The creator reserves the right to delete comments and/or the whole community if deemed necessary.

Now go! Have fun!


P.S. For ideas on how to post/reply if you're uncomfortable sharing information or having your responses seen by others, go to this post (the only other one in the community).

If you are not comfortable with replying to people's personals on the board itself for fear of people seeing what you are pursuing, here are some ideas:
-If the person has given information about themselves (e-mail, name -for use with Facebook-, LJ username, etc.), reply through another, more private medium.
-Ask the person for a piece of contact information, such as mailbox number, so you can contact them outside the internet.

If you are posting and do not want to give away your information, you could try interesting tactics to get more private responses, such as picking a (well-hidden) place for people to leave responses for you, or telling them to chalk their love for you, and their name, in huge letters outside of Olin. Whatever.


If you have creative ideas along these lines, please comment!
