The Year of No Dating Apps
I decided to date without using dating apps for one whole year… and document it, of course.
Here’s everything that happened…
A Date with Ms London
Following on from the disaster that was the Sambuca saga, I decided to do a couple of things. Firstly, I wanted to wait a while before I went on a date with someone.
