I’m going to be that awful person. I’m just going to say it and hope my single friends don’t hate me for it (because I would have hated me last year): WHAT A RELIEF I’M NOT STILL SINGLE. Nine months in a happy relationship has meant I’ve often forgotten what a minefield it is being…

‘Tinder like a man’, he said.
Following from yet another failed attempt at dating, I decided I need to change my tac (doesn’t this sound familiar..?) ‘I’m giving up with dating apps!’ I exclaim to my friends on more than one occasion this summer. ‘They’re full of guys who just want a quick shag. I’ll never find a decent guy on…

An Update

So far from our experiment we have: An interesting (yet random) fact about childhood. A bizarre allergy. A blatant lie. Still, it’s better than telling me something I knew when I swiped right.
An Experiment – Part Two
About 6 months ago I conducted an experiment. I propositioned all my matches on Tinder with the line ‘Tell me something interesting’ and drew these conclusions: the majority of men on Tinder are boring, fewer will say anything to have a shag and even fewer are actually interesting (click here to see the post).
