There are some things I thought were important in potential boyfriend, but now I’ve realised they aren’t. Or at least that it’s more complicated than that. I thought it was a deal-breaker that we had the same taste in music. I also thought it was crucial that we had the same taste in TV. I…
I’m on holiday in Bucharest, in Romania, with 14 people. It’s Flatmate Joe’s 30th birthday. I absolutely love Bucharest. I love going to different European cities, and this one is fabulous, and it’s so great spending time with Joe again. I feel really happy. I’ve been thinking about happiness a lot recently, especially since I…
A few weeks ago, I was on fire, dating-wise. I had 4 dates in 4 days. At one point, I was putting my makeup on for the next date, while the guy from the previous night was still in my bed. I felt like the queen of everything. I couldn’t stop strutting when I walked.…
I have two Idiot Litmus Tests on my dating profile. Both came about unintentionally, but then I realised they made idiots out themselves from the outset, and I left them in. The first Idiot Litmus test is a song lyric in my profile. It says “I’ll do graffiti if you sing to me in French.”…
Most of the recent men I’ve dated have been from dating apps (or, as my mum called them the other day, “your ‘Find-a-bloke’ thing”). A couple have been from nights out. However, some people meet their other halves in natural settings – in the wild. I know a woman who got together with the plumber who…
Last night I had my first date with Salsa Cop. I’m not sure what to think. Yesterday I felt more excited about a date than I have in a long time. I had a stressful day. All weekend I felt ill with a cold. On Sunday, I stayed over at a friend’s house. Then, yesterday…
At the moment, dating-wise, I have fingers in so many pies, I can’t remember who is who! It feels really good to be excited about dating again, and doing it for the right reasons. Hopefully it won’t be long before I get some fingers in my pie. This post is purely to help me keep on…
I’m so fucking pissed off! I’ve been ghosted by Mauve Man! (Image – Flickr). In our last conversation, last week, he said he was so glad I got back in touch, and we chatted loads. He still seemed really keen. I was telling him about my holiday in Portugal and he said “keep sending photos,…
This week, I came across something I didn’t know existed: Breakup Apps – self-help apps to guide you through a breakup. The one I stumbled across was ‘Mend‘, mentioned in this post in Jill’s Adventures in Dating. I tried to find out more about Mend, and came across ‘Breakup Boss‘ as well. It feels particularly relevant to me,…
Do you ever go to the cinema, and after the trailers, you think you’re watching the first few seconds of the film, but actually, you’re just watching another logo video for one of the film production companies? And the film still hasn’t started yet. Some logos are obvious, like the 20th Century Fox thing, or…
