Need a bit of a helping hand when it comes to your dating life? Let me give you the real, honest guide to surviving the dating game!
Now I’m in my thirties I feel I can look back over some of my twenty-something experiences and laugh. Or cry. Some of the things I’ve done … I just shake my head and wonder why I ever acted so stupidly. One of those times was a first date I once went on, my first first-date after the end of a two-year relationship. Not just a funny story for me (now), I feel it also serves as a warning. Here’s what NOT to do on a first date … *Based…
Read MoreI left-swipe a lot. I can’t work out if I’m too picky, or if I’m one of those bitchy girls who’s bothered about the ‘superficial’ stuff like having all your own teeth, or not being so big you probably couldn’t leave the house. Oh, or not being so thin it looks like I could snap you like a twig. Hey, I might be a size-ist superficial bitch but I’m not in the least bit bothered about how much he earns or what he does for a living. Well … unless he’s…
Read MoreOver the years I’ve come to realise some stuff. Firstly, I’m a real judgemental bitch and secondly, I’m shallower than I thought I was. Let me explain. I decided to download Tinder again because I want to find myself a boyfriend, a real one, a sensible one who doesn’t have issues. OK that’s probably asking for a lot but I’d settle for someone who had a few issues which didn’t disrupt our relationship too much. Surely that’s not asking too much? But I downloaded the app again and prepared to…
Read MoreI’m a sensible girl, a realist if you like, and I’m aware that using certain internet dating sites will likely result in a cock-shot-related ending more often than it doesn’t. It’s not that I don’t like a nice, friendly dick-pic from time to time but seriously, my phone’s camera roll is filled with so many of them now and what makes it worse, I couldn’t tell you who half of them belong to. I think maybe I’m a little prudish when it comes to sending photos of my naked body around…
Read MoreThere’s nothing I love more than being physically attracted to a man I come across online, reading his profile and learning we have stuff in common, and starting the flirty-banter-chat and to see what happens… There’s nothing I hate more than starting flirty-banter-chat with a man I’m physically attracted, only to be met by conversation-killing one-liners. SF: “Hi, glad we matched” Me: “Hi, me too, how are you today?” SF: “Good thanks. What are you looking for?” Me: “Ideas for tonight’s dinner? It’s a dating site so I’m looking for someone…
Read MoreIt seems I have a lot to say on the subject of turnoffs so I’ve decided the only logical thing to do is to start a weekly column. Let’s call it #TurnoffTuesday. Please feel free to jump in with your own. I’d love to learn it’s not just me with these burning niggles, these massive turnoff red flags. This week, I want to talk about rejection. To be precise, men who cannot handle rejection. Apparently, this is quite a few of you. You know who you are… I understand rejection…
Read MoreIn the search for my ‘perfect man’, if ever such a unicorn were to exist, I’ve learned a few things. I don’t really know what I’m looking for as such, but there are some definite things I’m NOT looking for. Number one on that list of things I’m NOT looking for – really miserable, whiny men. And thus a new list was born… Things That Turn Me Off #1: Really Whiny Men I know that men have just as many things to moan about as women do but seriously, put…
Read MoreI HATE internet dating with a passion but I never used to feel that way. Three or four years of bad dates after bad dates followed by good dates and short relationships have left me cynical and bitter about the online dating world. It’s also made me realise a few things. The men you’ll see on sites like POF and Tinder; they’re all the same. The same man repeated one after the other, almost like carbon copies of themselves. I know it’s probably no better from a male’s perspective, looking…
Read MoreSo….. I finally did something! I finally finished that book I kept saying I was going to finish but never did. (It’s a book about breakups… It’s hard to finish a book about breaking up with someone when you’re trying to fall hopelessly in love with someone else.) Well, when that one inevitably ended too, I decided to take some of my own advice. I decided to read my book and follow the advice I was giving to other women. All those things I’d learned throughout my years of breaking…
Read More17/10/2015: Operation Blog Catch-Up It really irritates me when men shave their chests. Actually, do you know what? It really irritates me when men shave any other area of their body than their face and their nuts. What’s the point? Why are men doing this? The Director was a big fan of this weird shaving behaviour. In fact, I’ve dated a few men like this. Men who would rather be almost-bald and spiky rather than the hairy men they were born to be. I genuinely don’t get it and feel like…
