Even with the rumours that Ryan Reynolds will star, I can't help but feel uneasy about the planned sequel to the mighty Top Gun which has apparently been green-lighted. Some things are best left in perfect isolation and appreciated through the ages as a perfect moment never to be repeated (like the one bread and... Continue Reading →
Was that too fast?
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
