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 →
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 →

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 →
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 →
Know your enemy
The Caesars of ancient Rome used to employ small boys to stand next to them on their Triumph marches whose sole job was to gently remind the Emperor that he was merely a man and not a god. They would sit behind them and whisper it in their ears; "You are not a god. You... Continue Reading →
A Practically Perfect Partner
I am a lucky man when it comes to my kids. Through the whole divorce process and settling into life as a new family unit they’ve never wavered from their core belief that they are now and will always be the most important things in my life. They know how happy and proud they make... Continue Reading →
