I’m a huge Game of Thrones fan. If you’re not, well, I don’t think we can be friends. The show is quite simply breathtaking, and has arguably become the best tv show ever made (and I’ve seen half an episode of Mrs Brown’s Boys, so I know what I’m talking about). It's already been too... Continue Reading →
8 Ways Women Go Wrong With Profiles
Over my life I’ve been told I do things wrong fairly regularly. I put milk in before the boiling water when making a cup of tea. I tumble dry almost everything. I leave my heating on all year and rely on the thermostat to turn it on when it’s cold (if it’s 12 degrees in... Continue Reading →
Five ways you know it’s an only date
I’ve talked before about the phenomenon of the “only date”. You know, it’s the one where you know at a certain point that it won’t ever become the first date of many, but instead will be one you’ll either forget within a week or perhaps will share when people ask you what the worst date...

Feedback
Recently I went on a slightly unusual date. I won’t go into details, but at the end of it I had the opportunity for something pretty unusual (at least in my own experience). No, not that, you filthy-minded reader; I got feedback from my date. After the bill had been paid we got the chance... Continue Reading →
I’d do well in America…
As mentioned on a previous blog post, recently I went on a work trip to Washington DC for work. It was only for four days, landing on a Monday afternoon and then flying home on the Thursday night, but was due to give me the chance to both learn something new for work as well... Continue Reading →
Why do I prefer being in a couple?
I'm discovering more and more dating and relationship blogs as I spend more time in the dating world, and some of them are pretty good. Okay, not all of them, but there are some corkers out there for sure. One of those I've signed up to and enjoy is Becauseysheblogs, which is from the perspective... Continue Reading →
Are all women evil?
The internet is a brilliant place. Some corners of it are a little bit weird, but for every corner filled with pictures of cows in feather boas, there is another which is full of supportive people helping each other out. Since becoming a single dad I've joined a number of communities online to help me... Continue Reading →
Time for an interlude
Regular readers of this blog (i.e. both of you) will have noticed that I've not posted for almost two weeks. Honestly, I don't know how you have filled your days without my half-formed thoughts to fill your minds. I wish I could say it was for one of two reasons; either that I had been... Continue Reading →
Online Shopping
I was chatting with someone the other day about online dating and we came up with an analogy (or is it a metaphor?) that was pretty much on point and addresses some of the major problems for people who, like me, are using digital tools to help them meet people. Online dating is like going... Continue Reading →
Picture Me This
I used to be in a gang. It lasted one mealtime. I was nine years old, and had read a comic book about a cool science fiction hero who had grown up in a gang and who therefore learned cool fighting moves and a sense of self-confidence I envied. So I declared that from then... Continue Reading →
