Tomorrow it's good too! This would give me more opportunities to find out more about you ;). The picture you sent me it's a pretty cool one but do you have another one..? Where do you like to go out? What's your weapon of choice when comes to having fun? How tall are you, what kind of dog you have( hopefully not too many questions )?
Alright, let's evaluate this email... Should I read into it? Probably not. Will I read into it anyway? Absolutely.

Exclamation point about drinks today. Awesome. Winky emoticon. Undecided.
The picture you sent me it's a pretty cool one but do you have another one..?
He wants to see another picture of me. Interesting. I initially sent him a cropped pic of me, from the waist up, that is my current Facebook profile. I'm wearing sunglasses but I got my hair 'did' that day so I like the photo. But I can see him wanting to see another one, maybe my bottom half is that of a horse like a centaur. (Is anyone else super excited to see the final Harry Potter movies? I am! Anyway...) So all in all, not too weird to request an additional photo when you're meeting a stranger (read: potential crazy person) from craigslist.
Where do you like to go out?
Seems normal enough. And since he works in the wine industry I assume he's interested in food, wine, dining, etc. Totally normal question.
What's your weapon of choice when comes to having fun?
I have no idea what this means and now I'm a bit freaked out. Betti, stop reading too much into this single paragraph email.
How tall are you?
He's a little person.
What kind of dog you have?
I love my dog and could talk about her all day plus I asked about his dog in the prior email. Normal.
All in all, I'm excited to meet Alejandro. I wrote back to his email, asked where and when he wanted to meet tonight and answered everything other than the weird weapon question. Hopefully he'll write back and suggest a familiar place. I told Kitty about the date and she said, "Make sure where you meet him for drinks isn't in an alley because you will get murdered. Go to well lit, busy restaurants."
When I read that I chuckled for two reasons. #1 All of my friends think finding a date on craigslist will result in me being murdered and when they mention this to me all I think is, "If I get murdered on a date with a dude from craigslist I should have bought that DVF dress I saw on Sunday." The thought is, in and of itself ridiculous and that is why I chuckle. #2 I don't go to dinner with people on a first date. I am like Braney Stinson. Dinner is too intimate for a first date in my opinion. Drinks or coffee. Then if you like eachother enough after a couple dates you can try dinner. But what do I know..? I'm single.
