Dating London one man at a time

Archive for 2006/01


Settle. Or settle for poligamy.

A friend sent me this article from the Times today:
Single? Despairing at the lack of quality men? Nirpal Dhaliwal has some modest proposals - The Times, 31st July
Having trounced men in the battle of the sexes, today’s young women are stuck with a terrible dilemma: there are almost no men who deserve them. [...]

People watching II

Sitting in a bar with VGF bitching about passers by and other customers was v.entertaining. We were supposed to be resolving her rather messy love life which is busy, to say the least. She’s been dating one guy regularly for over two months and have only ever exchanged snogs which makes me wonder. Perhaps he

Flattery does not get you everywhere

Ref my previous post about names - one from a Darren today. Excluded actually for more serious reasons - age and a cringey email:
Hello
Such beauty, you look like you have Royal blood in you!
Kindest regards

Mondays

A friend’s birthday drinks on a Monday night. Crikey. Nothing like starting as you mean to go on eh?
It was in a funky kind of place and as I’d had a blonde moment this morning and not brought any make-up with me, I did the teenage thing of hanging out in Superdrug and using all the [...]

dating usernames

OK this is probably yet more evidence of my extreme pickiness. But honestly. I’ve just been doing some searching and I do not understand some people’s choice of username. If they can’t think of something funny/memorable then why not just go for Dave2006 or similar? At least then we’re not laughing at you before we [...]

Blown away

Wow. I love the sea when it’s all dramatic like this. The wind (and hail) blew my cobwebs away and made me glad I’d made the decision to stay down here a bit longer.
My NYE will still be very tame - drinks with the neighbours and so on - but NYD will be rather the [...]

famine

It’s always flood or famine isn’t it? Went out every night for weeks - absolutely date tastic. And in my enthusiasm I forgot to keep the new leads coming in… so now I have a famine.
Pants. 
Back on that addictive internet dating malarky then.

Bring and Buy sale - post match report

It was great. Really good fun. Great bunch of people and fantastically well organised. The girl who’d organised it had thought of a few mixer-type games which sound cheesy but actually they are probably the only way you’ll get most people to do the tour of the room. (not everyone is as proactive in the [...]

Grooming for Girls

A long gossip with an old friend last night reminded me how times have changed. He mentioned how he’d been surprised (and more than a bit disappointed) to note that a girl with whom he’d got close, was, somewhat laissez-faire in the downstairs grooming department. I reminded him that when we were at uni, everyone [...]

Diligence vs passion

There are, I think, several schools of thought in the sexual arena.
Diligent
We’ve all been there - he’s read a sex book or two (or FHM) and is following the instructions to the letter. He cleans his teeth and folds his clothes before getting into bed with you (even the first time) and thinks that this consideration will win [...]
