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. ...

Graham* – Something Military
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...
Rhys* – Security
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...
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...
One Foot Forward
Just keep going George. Carry on putting one foot forward and the other will always follow. I keep looking down at the ground and just watching my feet move heavily over the rocks and snowy path. The sound of my deep breathing fills my head and I can feel my chest trying so hard to...
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...
The Heartbreak Penny Drops
*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...
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...
