Last weekend, I went on a date with a guy I had met in real life rather than through a dating app. (The first date I’ve had of this sort since July when I met The Wrong Guy.) When we first met, he was fun, flirty, confident and attractive, so I asked if he wanted…

Date Week – Continued
So I went on the date. I was going to cancel but my friend convinced me otherwise. I’m thrilled I didn’t cancel; what a guy! There was an instant, mutual attraction. We have lots in common and the conversation flowed beautifully. He didn’t agree with everything I had to say; he challenged me and we…
Date Week
1. First online blind date in a while. I feel excited about this one (he’s attractive in his photos and he seems fun). Unfortunately, he doesn’t really look like his photos and he doesn’t seem like he’d be much fun. In fact, I don’t think he fancies me – he doesn’t look me in the…
Daily Contradictions of My Version of Feminism
Don’t assume I need help with hanging this picture but when I ask, be glad to help. If my computer crashes, show me how to fix it but stay with me in case I can’t do it. Don’t expect me to make dinner and do the dishes, but if I do, be thankful and smother…
You’re Drawing Me In
You disarmed me. I wasn’t ready for your suave nature. I wasn’t me. I wasn’t not me, but I was a different version of me. You have an aura about you. And it’s drawing me in. Photo by Tim Marshall on Unsplash.
Do I Wanna Know?
/Do I wanna know, if this feeling flows both ways?/ Yes, I do want to know. It’s killing me not knowing what’s inside your head. The messages you give off are so conflicting. /Sad to see you go, was sorta hoping that you’d stay…/ We have so much fun when you stay. Please don’t leave….
How to be a Little Ray of Sunshine
Be confident in who you are and what you want from life. At the age of 25, I’m pretty sure of myself. I’ve had lots of good times and lots of bad times, each one shaping me into the woman I am today. When I look in the mirror, I like what I see. Yes, there…
Notice a Fuckboy Before it’s Too Late
A week ago, I matched with a guy on Bumble who (almost immediately) told me he’s swiping to find a woman to join him and his girlfriend for a threesome. Then he changed his tac and said that actually he and his girlfriend are not in a good place and he’s looking to date. Why…
The Agony of the Blue Ticks
Two little ticks are making me paranoid. We had a good date and we’ve been messaging since, but the past few days there has been very little contact. I sent the last message on Tuesday and he read it. I sent a “Happy Friday, it’s the weekend” kind of text. He has read it. He…
