Ehhh, truth be told, most likely your heart was racing for no reason as most of the postings are fake. Man i had to switch my email accounts many times because of all the spam i was getting.
Some of them are clever too, you cant even tell its a spambot from the first email that you see from them. Only in the second of thrid do they send the link to their webiste.

One more thing i would like to add, i would not sggest responding to posts you see on cl. Granted that even if they are real, still it takes a certain person to be posting on cl, there is a reason for everything. You post because you are small, but what would drive a woman to post?

I would recommend making your own posting and see where that goes. Chances are nothing will happen. But if you keep trying eventually you will find a real person.
I also suggest being upfront and honest. Describe your situation, maybe someone will have an interest.

Yeah I know...but when I get all worked up, rational thought tends to go out the window.

but you are right, better to make your own posts than respond, I think. I should point out I've used CL for more basic reasons selling/buying, and have learned to spot the fakes. But it's always possible to miss one if it's really done well. Truth be told, I have given up on online dating. Too many that could be if it weren't for the hundreds if not thousands of miles distance, and when I have tried to make it work, it failed before I could get to meet up so I won't waste my time unless he/she is within at least 50 mile radius.
