[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] This is a pretty quick one because we never actually got to the date! Paul* is someone I actually went to school with. He was a year older than me so I’d met him previously but he’d always had a girlfriend and I was never interested. Until that fateful night in 2009 where I was on a night out with friends and I saw him. Obviously because we’d gone to school together I knew his friends and he knew mine. So before long we got chatting and catching up on everything. He was working as an estate agent...
Chris* – Delivery Driver
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] I met Chris* in a slightly weird way to be honest. He messaged me on Facebook saying he was a friend of Josh’s* (the barman from my previous date)! Chris* asked me out for a drink and said that he’d already spoken to Josh and he had said it was cool. Seeing as I wasn’t messaging Josh anymore, I figured if he said it’s ok, what’s the harm in going for a drink? It’s not like I’m dating anyone else at the moment or getting offers! So Chris and I met up at a restaurant but planned on...
Josh* – Barman
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] I met Josh* back in early 2009. He was a barman working in a club I used to go to with my friends. Now Josh is someone I wish I had just stayed away from but hindsight will do that to you. To set the scene briefly, I was out with a few friends one night and we ended up in our favourite club (who knows why because it’s awful). Me, being me, had spotted a cute looking guy working behind the bar but of course I was too scared to talk to him so instead I just...
James* – Student
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] My next potential suitor after the not so suitable cage fighter was a set up by a friend of mine. She insisted that her boyfriend’s mate James* would be perfect for me! How wrong she was. Now this one most certainly is not the worst date I’ve ever had but it quite possibly makes my top 10 of the worst. I should probably explain that when this date took place at my ripe old age of 18 (2008), I wasn’t the person I am now. I was quite shy when meeting new people and got nervous easily so...
Edward* – Cage Fighter
Now, the first date I want to let you in on is probably one of my favourite ones! I might be starting with the climax too soon but this was one of the first dates I ever went on so it seems only natural to start at the beginning! Edward* and I met through some mutual friends and although in hindsight, I know he is absolutely not my type, I was very new to dating so didn’t really feel I was allowed to have a type in case it made me seem picky! I was 18 years old and he...
Here we go…
Ok, I should probably start with a little about me and why I decided to start this blog. So here goes. I am a 25 year old University Graduate currently working in the travel industry. The bit that always seems to surprise people is that I’ve never had a proper boyfriend! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dated guys but nothing longer than three months and they never went into that elusive “let’s be boyfriend and girlfriend” phase. Dating has become the hardest task possible; even harder than writing my dissertation. At least with my dissertation I could look at countless...
