It’s been a tough few months and last weekend my mum told me (again) how she wished I had a boyfriend, but noticed:

Boys these days don’t want relationships; they just want to fuck around.

Yes, Mummy.  That’s true.

[So-and-so’s] daughter can’t get a boyfriend either.  Blokes just stop texting her.  It’s called something like…ghosting?

Yes, Mummy.  That’s a real thing.

Maybe there’s something wrong with you?

Thanks… but I’m not the only one getting ghosted.

Maybe there’s something wrong with your friends too?

Hmm…

At 24 years old, I can cope when someone tells me I’m not right for them,  it’s just a shame that some guys feel awkward telling the truth.

You need to have a boyfriend who’s older than you.

If I want to avoid the ghosts, I’ll probably have to find a guy who’s over 34, Mummy!

Great Darling, go out with a 34-year-old.

Thanks, Mummy…
