A Friend Set Us Up – It Didn’t Work Out

Last month, a friend told me she had a great friend she’d like to set me up with.  He was single, too, and she felt our personalities would fit and we’d get along well. A first date coffee was arranged and while I considered cancelling because I was interested in someone else, I’m glad I…

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….

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…
