"I'm sorry, but I just can't see how it would work long term". That's the line I heard from someone I started chatting with on POF recently. She lived near me, had a kid and had explicitly said in her bio "would definitely be willing to date someone who also had kids". The flirting was... Continue Reading →
There's an old saying that cost and value are two entirely distinct things. Something which costs loads might be worth nothing (as much as I love my completed 2010 World Cup Panini sticker album, realistically it's never going to be a collector's item), whilst other things cost very little but are worth more than money...

Along with most online daters, I swipe a lot. Of an evening I'll dedicate time during a boring tv show once the kids are in bed to do the left/right thing, as online dating really is a numbers game. Like it or not, the more you swipe, the more chance you have of finding a... Continue Reading →
I grew up watching Jessica Fletcher solving mysteries. She would always just happen to be somewhere when a murder took place, and just happen to speak to the right people, and just happen to notice the details which would lead to the killer admitting their guilt and blaming it all on those meddling kids (or...

I am a multi-faceted man. I love politics. Sport. Digital. Reading. Blogging. Socialising. Music. Movies. Cooking. Dating. More "adult" activities. Public speaking. Crushing my enemies beneath the heels of my boots. Cleaning. Ok, perhaps not that last one, but there is a huge range of things that I am passionate about to one level or... Continue Reading →
There's nothing like sharing thoughts with new people, so when Louie from the excellent Dating Woes and Ego Blows blog got in touch and asked me to write something for her I jumped at the chance. As with almost all dating blogs I've seen, DWEB is aimed at women, so I thought I'd mix things... Continue Reading →
On the twelfth day of Christmas, online dating gave to me, Twelve Lovestruck offers Eleven random weirdos Ten pointless coffees Nine “thanks, but no thanks” Eight people ghosting Seven “don’t like children” Six unread WhatsApp’s Five catfishes Four numbers blocked Three dick pics Two Bumble matches And a sore thumb from constant swiping.
I've said it before - the internet is a wonderful place. It has enabled me to connect with people all over the world and share my thoughts, and is the reason I have the job I do (one I love, by the way). But the internet is merely a tool. As with other tools, it... Continue Reading →
I read a lot of dating blogs these days. Recently I was catching up on posts from the brilliant Alice in Wanderlust blog and came across one which was all about being picky. One section, in particular, made me stop and think a little: I was at a party, and one of my friends started... Continue Reading →
Dating can be hard. For those of us new to it, it has a language all of its own that needs to be learned, and quickly. Some words and phrases, such as catfishing, ghosting and benching are commonplace, while others are a touch more niche. But what's equally as difficult to understand is when people use...
