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

A Letter to My Ex
Dear You, The summer was confusing. I missed you and you confessed you still loved me. We nearly met up to see if we could rekindle things. We didn’t meet – thank God. Being friends wasn’t going to happen, was it? At least not yet. And anyway, I was seeing someone (admittedly I wasn’t as…
A Sexy Photo at the Hospital?
Last week I was in the hospital and what better way to pass recovery time than on Tinder? Â Frequently, I considered how inappropriate it felt to be swiping whilst inserted with cannulas and drainage tubes and with morphine surging around my body, but then I remembered how bored I was, how rubbish daytime T.V. is…
Casually Falling into Bed Together
I like a guy; we get on really well as friends and have loads in common. We’ve been flirty for a while and he confided in a friend that likes me. We were out a few weeks ago and ended up in bed together. Last weekend we were out in Brighton with friends. He challenged…
A Stranger’s Judgements
Last night, I took a cab home. The meter started at £2.20. I was making small talk with the driver.  He asked how my night was, what I’d been doing and who I’d been with.  I asked how his night was. By £4.10 he was asking about my social life, whether I was out with…
Can we Rekindle our Relationship?
A year ago today, my ex and I were blissfully happy. Â We both messaged a bit this morning, had a nice phone call, and said it’s rather sad we’re no longer together. The conversation was frank: We miss each other. We still love each other. He is spiralling down. I want to help him. Being…
The Nightmare of Syncing Orgasms
You’re having hot sex with someone you find terribly attractive. You’re feeling confident, sexy and sexually skilled. He seems confident, you find him sexy and he’s certainly sexually skilled. The build-up was perfect, you’ve both been anticipating this moment for some time, the candles are lit, the music is on and the housemates are out….
What Happens When You Meet With an Ex After a Break?
Four days after my previous post, I ended our relationship. We had a fun weekend planned with lots of socialising but he was late on Friday evening due to a heavy one the previous night. I spent the weekend being extra bubbling and he spent the weekend hungover and on a come-down. Sunday was a sad…
Adult Life on Fast-forward
Thirty is the new 20! They said. You’ve got ages to start worrying about all that grown-up stuff. They said. And I listened. But over the past few weeks, many of my twentysomething friends have seemed to suddenly grow up; they are: Moving in with their partners Buying properties Trying to conceive Actually pregnant I…
Attitudes to Singledom
Recently, my attitude towards being single has gotten out of hand. I’m finding being single difficult and need to stop feeling down about being on my own. So, I need to shift “Oh my god, I’m single and might be forever” to a more positive outlook. I must remember how great it felt to be…
