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...

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. ...
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...
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;...
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...
Theo* – Event Planner
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Once again, I put my faith in Tinder to help me find a decent suitor. Once again, I was left disappointed but with another story. As we all know, I love a good dating story; especially a miserable one that doesn’t work out the way we’re hoping it would. After matching on Tinder...
Sean* – Stranger Boy Racer
Yes, the job title of this guy sounds intriguing. It’s not exciting, I just don’t know what his actual job is so this will do. You’ll understand why as the story unfolds. As your detective skills have already determined from reading my previous posts, it’s clear that I work as cabin crew. On this particular...
