I’ve made a massive boo-boo. I was doing some ‘research’ for internet dating stuff, and I started talking to this guy a few weeks back. Planning on using his cheesy lines and corny jokes as inspiration for my writing, I can’t work out at what point he switched from research to a ‘thing’, but he has. He’s a thing. I don’t know what thing, but a thing. God, I sound nuts. We’ve been talking for a while – 15th July was his first message to me: “Okay so your profile…

I know any breakup is a bad breakup and my heart goes out to all those guy’s and girl’s with their stories of unrequited love, but is there really any such thing as a good way to breakup with someone? If you know the person you’re with isn’t the right kind of person for you, and you can’t see a future with them despite them being a truly wonderful person, what is the right way of doing it? Is there a right way to break up with someone?  Take my…

Remember I said I needed to breakup with Someone New? Well, I tried. And failed. Fuck. I said all the things I wanted to say to him. We had a weird conversation at 9am, while he was on his way to work and I was still grumpy in my bed, and all the things I probably should have said a slightly different way, came out of me in one go. Essentially, what I said to him was this: “If I haven’t fallen in love with you by now, I don’t…

Every time I decide to give Someone New the chance to be the boyfriend I think he could be, he does something so dumb, I can’t understand why he would do it. Just like today. A girl who he has a bit of history with sent him a Facebook message. On his wall, although it probably shoulda been an inbox message with the very blatant flirting that happened as a result of it. It started innocently enough – sorry I’ve not been in touch, I’m a bad friend, forgot to…

I’m so angry, I don’t even know what words I want to type out. I can’t make much sense of the humble-jumbled thoughts whizzing around my head. I want to act. I want to act angrily which is never good. I want to do crazy-girl things. I won’t of course. I’m too dignified these days for that; too grown up. So I shall type instead. I’ll let my fingers do the talking. Casually skimming through Facebook on this dreary Saturday afternoon and guess what I come across. Oh yes, yet…

Dear Someone New,    I figured I probably wouldn’t get the chance to tell you every reason why we are breaking up so why not write it all down and share it with my readers instead? It’s not like anything I ever said to you went into that thick skull of yours anyway. After all, wasn’t it less than a week ago I told you why it was inappropriate to use other women to make me jealous, intended or otherwise, and how you needed to learn to have a little…

So, apparently I’m single now. There was no fight, no chat, no grovelling, no apologies, nothin’. Shittest breakup I’ve ever had. That probably tells me everything I need to know really, doesn’t it? He went to a makeup party with yet ANOTHER girl his mutual friends (and the child) had tried to set him up with a bunch of times before. Is there anyone in his circle of friends he doesn’t have “history” with? Jeez. I thought I was a slut. This guy is something else entirely. Anyway it was…

It’s hurting more than I thought it would, the breakup between Someone New and I. I guess breaking up sucks whether you’re in love with the guy or not. I may not have been in love with him but I did care about him. Maybe that’s why his silence has really upset me? He kept saying we needed to talk and he would call me but he never did. I never contacted him either but I’m not the one in the wrong. I shouldn’t be the one doing all the chasing.…
