I thought it couldn’t get worse than Speed Dating. Turns out, it can! Last week, a friend invited me to a Single and Mingle night in Brighton. She was going with her housemate and we all agreed it could be rubbish but we wouldn’t know unless we went (and we’d never find a boyfriend sat…

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…
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….
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…
The Canadian
There was an understated coolness about you. Much to my surprise, you weren’t surrounded by girls or friends. I can’t remember who approached whom, but I do remember laughing a lot and the seductive stares that lasted a fraction too long to account for polite company. We went bar-hopping around my favourite places in Brighton;…
24 Things I’m Grateful for at 24 Years Old
We had a fun weekend. I’m feeling capable in my job. My friends are fabulous. My family is supportive. I still haven’t cried over you. I haven’t heard from you. How predictable. How telling. The summer is starting to fill up with adventures. Someone is teasing me, giving me hope. False hope? Who cares? My…
Future Plans
In dating and relationships, I’m a real advocate of honesty being the best policy. While it’s not fun learning that someone isn’t into you it’s helpful to know. Similarly, facing the reality that a relationship has run its course can feel depressing but it’s pointless flogging a dead horse. It can be nerve-wracking considering the…
Needing and Wanting
I think it’s much better to be wanted than needed but is it rude to tell someone you don’t need them? Here’s why I don’t need you: I can cook well I drive myself around and sort out any issues with my car I have my own social life I’m happy to go to a…
