She thought it would be tricky to get along with him that night; this arrogant, sexist man. He reminded her of when she was younger – more naive, more accepting of men’s chauvinistic remarks. Maybe this kindled a yearning for her youth? His girlfriend was at home, she wasn’t known to her. His presence was…

A Letter to 16-year-old Me
To Younger Me, You’re 16 and you need to know life’s not going to go how you plan. You won’t be with this man forever; he’ll surprise and disappoint you and resurface like those sparkly hot pants you forgot you had. When you leave him you’ll be lost. But you’ll work out that this is…
“I Hope it Wasn’t Too Weird :)”
Last weekend, I went on a date with a guy I had met in real life rather than through a dating app. (The first date I’ve had of this sort since July when I met The Wrong Guy.) When we first met, he was fun, flirty, confident and attractive, so I asked if he wanted…

Your Future Girlfriend will Thank Me
I taught you how to dress in the style you aspire to emulate. I taught you which neck cut looks good with the way you do your hair and which sleeve styles suit complement your arms. I demonstrated how some colours suit your skin and hair colour, and how some don’t. In the minefield you…
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…
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…
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;…
