Like most people, I spend a few minutes (hours) each day just scrolling through my Facebook news feed. I just get bored so have a look and see what people are up to. Recently I’ve begun to notice that my news feed is inundated with my Facebook friends getting into relationships, getting engaged, getting married, having babies, moving in together or simply just being happy in their little couples. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for all of them and wish them all the best. I’m also bitter and jealous but I won’t hold that against them all. One thing...
Daniel* – Pilot
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Before I start writing this particular post, I am warning you now that it mentions sex. There are no details but it does mention it. For anyone who doesn’t want to read further, don’t. In this experience I am going to admit first and foremost that it involves a one night stand. Not just any one night stand though; a one night stand with a pilot. I broke my cardinal rule at work (Never, EVER, sleep with a pilot). Yep, call me whatever you want or judge me for whatever you want. I had a one night stand...
Rob* – Mechanic
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] So it’s been a while since my last post which means it’s been even longer since my last date! I took a bit of a backseat in the dating zone for a bit there. Work has been getting busy and I was struggling to deal with guys getting annoyed I couldn’t plan in dates when it suited them. As per my previous post; I’ve also been moving past the realisation that my heart maybe wasn’t ready for a while. Anyway I’m back! As I’ve probably said before and most of you will experience the same; dating is hard...
Nothing Like The Present
What now? My stories have reached up to exactly where I am in the present. I have more dates lined up in the near future and will continue to write about them but for now, I feel that it is important to look at how my opinion of dating and love has been shaped throughout my previous experiences. When people say to me that they have bad luck with dating, I lead them to this blog and invite them to read the proof of just how bad my luck is. I think most of you can agree that I don’t...
Adam* – Retail Supervisor
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] You know when you’re watching a TV series and they start with a “previously on” montage? One that shows you clips from previous episodes and you know they’ll be important? Well if I could do that I’d take you back to the post of Brian* the Builder. A quick recap for those who may have forgotten. Brian was someone I dated for about 3 months. He called me a 4 out of 10 and told me I’d have a decent body if I went to the gym. If you remember correctly, he also used to talk about and...
Tinder Tidbits
Now, just like every other single person (or sometimes not but we call them cheating idiots) I tried some dating apps. One in particular that I tried got me some funny messages. Rather than trying to explain them all I’ve decided, just for a laugh, to post some pictures of a few messages I received and my replies back to them. With some of them, you’ll notice that conversations had started but I’ve only posted the funny messages that ended up having guys unmatch me – you’ll see why….. This is possible my favourite one. You have to admit that...
Harry* – Salesman
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] This is another one of my posts which is quite short and sweet (although none of the guys I write about end up being sweet so maybe not the best use of the word). Harry* was a friend of mine who I’d met a few years previously. He had a girlfriend at this point but I got on well with him and thought he was a decent guy; and he was. We lost touch because my life had gone a different way and I’d drifted from our mutual friends. During this time, Harry became single and one day...
Some Kid
This experience wasn’t significant because there were feelings involved; I didn’t even know the guy. This experience was, sorry is, significant because some kid (I use the term kid to describe an 18 year old here) passed judgement on me for the way I looked and he humiliated me. Now, I know what you’re thinking “Oh stop whining because a guy judged your looks”. Let me paint the picture of how he did it and see what you think then. Myself and a close friend from work decided to have a night out in Brighton. An important thing you should...
Jack* – Accountant
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Before I start delving into this story I would like to first warn you that this is why I made my rule about discussing sex. Just to recap, I stated that I would only discuss sex if it was absolutely crucial to the story. Without beating round the bush, sex is absolutely crucial to this tale. If you don’t want to read it then I recommend closing this page now before you go on further. I have argued with myself over this story because I feared it would be crude but it’s one of my funnier stories so...
Jamie* – Tree Surgeon/Builder
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] My Christmas list now only asks for cats. I might as well start collecting them because I’m heading towards cat lady spinster town. My mind replays Brian’s betrayal and his treatment of me over and over, questioning what I did wrong. It also replays my time with Richard. Did I not deserve real love from him? When I think about the men who have had the biggest impact on my life these two make up half. The other half consists of the man who assaulted me and my Father. The others were me crawling around in the dark...
