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…

A Chilled Date

I felt reluctant to go on last night’s date.  I matched with him on Bumble and we exchanged numbers after a day or so.  We had been texting back and forth and decided to meet.  I was pleasantly surprised when we met – his photos didn’t do him justice. He was friendly and bought me…

A Strange Offer from a Man on Bumble

I matched with a guy on Bumble and what follows is our very brief exchange: Him: Hey.  Do you want to meet tomorrow for a bit of fun/sex? Me:  No thanks, I’m looking to date, not have a one-night stand. Him: Yes same here.  It isn’t a one-night stand.  Have a bit of fun and…

The Bar Man

We’ve known each other for ages through family circles and have exchanged flirty messages for months.  We finally met up for a date a few weeks ago – right when I felt I had enough with guys and needed to inject some fun back into my life.  The date was so easy and knowing you’re…

A Playlist to Feel Fabulous

Recently, men have been getting me down.  I’ve become prematurely excited about multiple boys and then felt disappointed. So in a bid to get a grip and feel more like myself again, I’ve created a Power Playlist on my iPhone.  We all know how music can affect our moods, and being sad is not a…

Feeling Unsafe on Home Soil

I have never felt unsafe in Brighton, but last night I was walking the three-minute walk from the pub to the taxi rank and a bloke called after me.  We didn’t know one another but he caught up with me and we shared a conversation.  He asked where I was going.  Home.  Can he come?…
