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…
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…
A Sexy Photo at the Hospital?
Last week I was in the hospital and what better way to pass recovery time than on Tinder? 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…
Rebounding
This year I’ve learnt a lot about what I want from a partner: someone kind, ambitious and who I’m attracted to as well as they’re attracted to me. I’ve been seeing a guy for a few months now and we’ve progressed into relationship territory. After I broke up with my ex, mutual friends kept saying…
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…
The Grey Area Between Love and Breaking Up
Recently, I was talking about my relationship with a friend. She identified “the grey area” between loving your partner and breaking up with them. It’s when you’re not in love with that person anymore, but the thought of having sex with them doesn’t physically repulse you. A perfect summation of my current relationship status. The…
It’s Been a Long, Hot Summer
Sorry for the silence over the last few months. This is because I found him! Prince Charming exists! And he spends a lot of time in my bed… As summer comes to an end and working life resumes, I realise this guy I was going to have a casual, no-strings-attached fling with is anything but…
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…
