Dress to impress

Clothes maketh the man, or so they say (whoever "they" are). This was never a problem for me in my previous life. I had four types of clothes: work clothes (suits, shirts), wedding clothes (with a little work clothes crossover), daily clothes (jeans, t-shirts) and nice clothes (nicer jeans, nicer t-shirts). The latter group was... Continue Reading →

First date chatter

I talk for a living. Okay, technically I sell software and digital engagement, but essentially I get paid to talk to new people and get them to feel like we have a positive relationship together. I've been doing this for years and am still paid for it, so I know I'm fairly good at it.... Continue Reading →

The Approach

Youth brings a number of things. A lack of bills to pay. A constitution that can handle more than two nights of heavy drinking on a row. An overinflated sense of confidence that gets you through things you don't know that you should be scared of doing. It's this last one that got me my... Continue Reading →

Getting the “action” shot

When I started putting together things for my online dating profiles I did my research. I'm not one to leave things to chance and have no qualms about learning from other's mistakes, so I promptly jumped onto Google and searched out some of the advice out there. Armed with that (often conflicting) advice I trawled... Continue Reading →

I Ghosted Someone And This Is Why I Don’t Regret It

Ghosting is generally a bad thing, or so I’ve been told. However, it’s also important to remember that not every situation is the same.

This really interesting piece is from courtneydercqu.com and is well worth a read.

For a brief three-month window, I “dated” this dude named Craig. His name’s not really Craig, but I can only assume this is a really Craig-like thing to do.

Attention: To anyone reading this named Craig, don’t be this guy, OK?

Craig is what Vince Vaughn would probably refer to as a stage five clinger. Like, he wasn’t terrible and you could kind of tell he was just desperate for love, but his approach made you kinda want to run away from that senator’s luxury mansion (I love “Wedding Crashers”).

From Russia with ambivalence

I’ve a list of elements my perfect woman would have. It’s massively overambitious I know, and this woman would be way out of my league, but it’s important to have dreams. My perfect woman would be gorgeous, would prove her smarts by being a scientist of some kind and would be looking for the right... Continue Reading →

Only Dating

Since I’ve been back on the “dating scene” I’ve discovered that everything seems to be about the first date. Where to go? What to do? What to wear? How to act? Should I kiss? Should we more-than-kiss? That first date is the subject of article after article after article. I’ve thought about it, and have... Continue Reading →

The C word

Being a man who wants to date is tough enough. I have to somehow find a way to stand out from the mountains of handsome, muscle bound idiots who love nothing more than taking bathroom selfies without their tops on. Then I need to find a woman I am attracted to in some way and... Continue Reading →
