Online dating really is a tale of two halves. One half being dating nice, normal blokes with it either leading to further dates or it just ends, amicably, after one date. The other half is dealing with men who like to play ‘the game.’ The game being … actually, I’m still really not sure what […]

9 Foolproof Ways To Resist The Urge To Contact Your Ex
If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll have seen me describe my very exciting Saturday night last night as a single woman. Three episodes of Escape to the Country, a half-eaten, two-day old Banoffee Pie and numerous glances at my ex-boyfriend’s Whatsapp profile to see when he was last online. Quite pathetic I think you’ll […]
Great … More Awful Dating Messages
Do you remember me writing recently about some awful messages I’d received from dating websites? And oh, how we all laughed … and just presumed it couldn’t get any worse? Well I’m back, with another, ‘More moronic dating messages’ blog post. Hurrah for you, because it’s kinda funny. Boo for me because obviously, this means […]
A Dating Update
I’m single again. The end. It’s a little more convoluted than that, obv, but I mentioned on Facebook recently that I’m dating again so thought I’d let you know what’s going on. So enough time has passed whereby I can talk about what happened with my last relationship. Well, I would, if I […]

Popping My Speed Dating Cherry
It’s been a few weeks since I last wrote about my love life, or lack thereof, but with Valentine’s Day approaching or, as I like to call it, ‘Tuesday’, I thought I’d give you all an update. Suffice to say, things have gone from bad to worse … and just when you thought it […]
Abuse I’ve Received Online This Week
I mentioned last year that I’ve been writing a book about dating in your 40s and beyond. Someone asked how it was going, and I launched into a massive tirade (not just a rant) about the state of dating right now and explained that the book has stalled. You see it’s hard to write about something […]
I Think I’ve Just Been Ghosted
I had a date this week. I didn’t mention it to you, or my friends on FB, or anyone to be honest, for several reasons. Firstly, I thought/presumed he wouldn’t turn up. Then I thought that if he did turn up, it would be rubbish. And then I presumed neither of us would want to […]
My First Experience of Tinder
It’s lunchtime on a Wednesday and I should be on a date. Except I’m not. I’m sat in Marks & Spencer café nursing a tepid black coffee and eating a pain aux raisin I smuggled in from home. I’m so annoyed, that a man has made me eat carbs. To explain. When […]
Dating | Tall Man Update
Time for a dating update. Remember I went out for a coffee with a very tall man last week, and how keen he seemed … and how positive (for once) I felt that it could lead somewhere – at least to a second date, which for me, is a BIG DEAL? You know […]
