Don’t Settle

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...

Robert* – Construction

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. ...

Anthony* – Graphic Designer

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...

Three Times Ghosted

Once, twice, three times ghosted! Excellent.  Granted, two of them then a few weeks later came back to apologise for ghosting me and of course included the “it’s not you, it’s me” line in one way or another.  One of the guys is sadly Pete* from my last date. My first toe back in the...

It’s A Date

So, I went on a date. First date. I went on a first date with somebody I’d never met before. We had been texting for a month or so.  After Will* ended things with me and tore my World apart from the inside. Something I never saw coming. An inside job that completely floored me;...

From The Ashes

I promise I’m trying.  I’m trying to rise from the ashes and be better. I promise I am trying to feel better. It’s been a struggle. I’ve hid it well though because nobody seems to realise how much I’m struggling. Hanging on by a thread. Don’t get me wrong: as in my previous post, everyone...

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...

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...

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...
