“No luck on the flight getting delayed?” We continued texting for a while. It was pretty much daily. He would send very sweet messages about how much he liked me and he wasn’t interesting in ‘hooking up’ with anyone else (he’s American remember). I was trying not to get my hopes up because realistically, this...
Sometimes life throws you curveballs. Most of the time it feels like they’re bad but every so often, they are good. Life throws the unexpected at you. I had this recently. Life threw the very unexpected at me. A few of us from work were sat at a hotel bar having a drink. I noticed...
This one will probably be quite quick. I wasn’t really looking at dating much. It wasn’t long after the previous guy who I didn’t name and I actually needed some time to figure out how I was feeling because I’d actually really struggled with it. Sometimes it’s ok to just have time to figure things...
So, I went on a few dates with someone. It was actually more than a few dates. I’m not going to write about him or our time. That’s the decision I’ve made and it’s my blog so I get to make that decision. It was earlier this year and lasted for the best part of...
Another Hinge date. Other dating apps are available but they are all just as useless as each other. We matched and very quickly organised a date. He told me about his previous Hinge experiences and divulged that a previous date had told him she was looking for something serious so he ended things. Hmm. This...
I wrestled with writing this post and whether to even post it. It took a few drafts and edits. In the nearly 10 years of writing this blog (award nominated I’ll have you know), I never thought I’d be writing a post about my embarrassing and completely unhinged behaviour. But here we are. So strap in. ...
Sadly, another Hinge date. This post will probably be fairly short. It seems to be the way that most guys when you start chatting will want to meet for a drink quite quickly. They like to gauge if they’re interested or not sooner rather than later. I agree! But sometimes with my job (and two...
Ah, another date from a dating app. What could possibly go wrong? This contender didn’t want to chat for long. He was keen to meet quite quickly and get a drink organised. So we did. He was a (well, is a) police officer. He chose a place fairly midway for us and we agreed an...
I hate Hinge. Even without the ridiculous profiles, the stupid comments and the repetitiveness, it’s just soul destroying. I have, in my mid 30s only just found out that apparently ALL heterosexual men on Hinge like dog walks and a roast on a Sunday. They ALL want to find a relationship that has the ‘perfect...
So getting back into the dating World means going on the apps. I do not enjoy them. There is not one single part of being on the apps that I find fun. I will actively avoid going on and swiping. I’ve lost almost all of my confidence in myself including my ability to even talk...
