18 yr old on craigslist personals?
Hi! I am a freshman at a small ivy league college and it's really hard for me to meet decent guys. Most of the guys r too short and/or too busy, too disinterested to wanna relationship (long-term or short-term) Also, since the "hook-up" scene is pretty small, I don't want to get involved w/ guys that i may potentially see in chem lab or history class the next day, if u know what i mean. So, I discovered the personals section of craigslist and i was thinking of replying to one of the "casual encounters" posts, as i m not looking for a serious relationship, just some "fun" from time to time. is this so bad? Is this a good idea? Plus, if I did reply, I wouldn't know how to set it up. Should I tell my friends about the potential hook-up? Where should I meet his person?

What you want isn't bad, but don't use Craigslists. It's creepy. I wouldn't use it or trust it as a way to meet people.
Try a simple free dating site like okcupid or plentyoffish. They have opitions for people who aren't looking for a relationship, but just to fool around or date a bit. You can keep your profile as private as you want and just reach out to the guys who interest you, or you can let them come to you. Either way you'll get a larger selection of people, and with more required info you can screen the crazies a bit better.
Whenever you met someone from online, tell a friend! And a have a set time you'll call to let this friend know how it went. That's an important safety meassure.
Always met someone for the first time in a public place. Not a home or a hotel. Go to a cozy coffee shop out of your normal area, or a bar where you can flirt and be friendly without being in any danger.
Feel out the attraction and trust level for a date or two before going home with someone.
