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…
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…
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.
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 Hot Hook-Up on a Friday Night
The immediate attraction. The flow of conversation. The seductive looks. The flirting. The cigarette sharing. The six-hour build-up. The energy in the cab home. The touching. The kissing. How weightless you made me feel. How you grabbed me passionately. How you picked me up. How you spoke to me. How you felt with me. What…
Too Much Too Soon
Our date was fun but I came home feeling ambivalent towards you. I was reluctant to accept a second date, but I thought there could have been some attraction there. I hoped you wouldn’t spoil it, mainly because you had life experiences, motivation and interesting things to talk about – you ticked a lot of…
Our Relationship – Round 2
I knew getting back with you was risky. No one supported my decision and at times I seriously regretted starting things up again. Round Two began after I wrote you my letter. I asked you to make more of an effort, and you did. On a quiet Sunday evening, you phoned me and asked if…
