*Disclaimer: Since writing this post, the ghostbusters had obviously done a good job because he called me. He retired from ghosting and we had a long talk over the phone. Some of this post may not ring true to me anymore after talking. I understand more now, but that doesn’t mean I respect his decision any more than I did before. Another post will come from that.* People keep asking me how I’m doing. I’m not criticising them at all! They care and they want to make sure I’m ok. Equally, I think most of them are expecting me to...
The Elephant In The Womb
This was a post I needed to get out. My poor womb has become the hot topic of this post. As you will know, my relationship ended. This post isn’t solely about that. It’s about one part of it. One of the reasons (and I’m still not sure if it’s the only reason) that it ended was because of children. Will* has two. Two wonderful children who I grew to love very much over my relationship with him. Children I never even got to say goodbye to. Having grown up without a Father and how I’ve been effected by it...
The Ultimate Disappearing Act
Well. Here we are. Somewhere I never thought I would be. I agonised with this post. I wrote and rewrote it so many times. Words describing my pain filled this page. I had so many more to say; to share. Then I couldn’t share them all. Will* is a private person. I still love him so I couldn’t write them all. I couldn’t spill parts of me without sharing parts of him. I’m trying to respect him still so instead, this is a shortened part. A part that still keeps some for him. I need to begin because I don’t...
Being Loved For The First Time
It’s been a minute. Well, actually it’s been more like 10 hours. Things have been a little bit crazy over the past few years. I hope you’re all ok after it. I have lots to talk about regarding the whole Pandemic thing but first, I want to settle back in with something good. It’s big so prepare yourself. I’m in love (again). This time though, and in fact for the first time in my 31 years of existence, I am loved back. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to tell you. It’s not that I didn’t want to; trust...

If this is true then it comes as no surprise that my social media adverts are full of dating apps, dating events near me, adverts for ice cream, diets (yes, I see the contradiction between those two), monthly subscription boxes and more....
Has Technology Killed off Romance?
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Anyone who has had the pleasure of trying to date in the 21st Century will know how vile it is. It’s been overtaken by technology! When I was younger and people first started holding hands and ‘going out with each other’, it was easy. You’d say to someone the exact words “will you go out with me?” If they said yes, you were a couple. Done. If they said no, you walked away and moved on because they’d made it clear they weren’t interested in you. If you talk to your parents and grandparents about how they got...
Do I Need To Be a Bitch?
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] I don’t normally write reviews that aren’t about bad dates or men and I appreciate that this is a little different to what I normally write, however it is relevant. I was recommended a book by a colleague one fateful day and she loved my blog but said I really should read this particular bestseller. Shout out to Ciara Carter for recommending it to me. Big love to you. The book is called ‘Why Men Love Bitches’ and was written by New York Times bestselling author Sherry Argov. Obviously I already loved the title as soon as I...
Even a Nice Guy Can Be a Fuck Boy
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] This week has really opened my eyes to the fact that no matter how nice a guy seems for however many years, he can still revert to ‘Fuck Boy’ tendencies. For anyone reading this who isn’t familiar with the term ‘Fuck Boy’, I have taken the liberty of researching it and the most accurate one comes from Urban Dictionary and reads as follows Asshole boy who is into strictly sexual relationships; he will lead a girl on and let her down, then apologise only to ask for “pics” once the girl has welcomed him back into her trust....
Theo* – Event Planner
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Once again, I put my faith in Tinder to help me find a decent suitor. Once again, I was left disappointed but with another story. As we all know, I love a good dating story; especially a miserable one that doesn’t work out the way we’re hoping it would. After matching on Tinder with Theo* and striking up a conversation, we chatted on the app for a few weeks until he made the plunge and asked me for my number so we could move over to texting. This exchange continued for a few weeks and actually seemed fairly...
Falling in Love with My Mental Health
I want to highlight the importance of mental health and dating. I wasn’t really sure how to approach this subject as it can be sensitive for some but mental health has such a huge part to play in dating, especially in modern dating, that I couldn’t really ignore it. Especially while I’m at a crucial turning point in my own mental health journey. My personal mental health is currently in the best state, generally, that it’s ever been in. Obviously there are still good days and bad days (just like everybody else) but as a whole, I’m more aware of...
