I pride myself on being pretty self-aware. I know some of my strengths (I have a good smile, have a lot of interesting stories to tell and my bum isn't too bad to look at/pinch), and I also know some of my weaknesses (I haven't got an Efron-esque chiselled physique, I sometimes forget important things and am...

Time for a profile update
It was overly long. It was full of complicated language and personal admissions. It almost felt like an apology in sections. Few people experienced it, and none who did enjoyed the experience. But enough about my sex life. 😉 My first attempts at writing a profile for online dating were disastrous, but deliberately so. I... Continue Reading →
My 50 Things
Ambition. It's one of the things which I've been accused of having too much of in the past - I want to do things, go to places and have experiences which are out of the ordinary. Yes, beach holidays can be nice, but given the choice I'd rather do the Inca trail than Ibiza, the... Continue Reading →
It’s not funny
We'd been messaging for weeks. She had been about to go abroad on holiday when we matched, so there had been no alternative but to get fingers to keyboards and chat away until she returned. It had been fun, light, carefree at first. I'd thrown in jokes, anecdotes and more gifs than probably I should... Continue Reading →
As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted
It's been a while since my last post. Trump has survived three dozen scandals (at least). Spurs have won at Wembley. Children have returned to school, had their half term and returned once again. Halloween has come and gone. A lot has happened. I won't go into too much detail yet about my romantic events as I'm... Continue Reading →
Game of Dates – Part One
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 →
