Claire is an old school friend of mine who I haven’t seen since February. She doesn’t live in London (hence having not seen her) but she’s staying with her sister who, as luck would have it, lives in the same area as Craig.
As time is short during Claire’s visit (and I live in a dodgy area), [...]
After the fabulous weekend with Rugby Tom, this week has been a distinct come down. I had felt that we were connecting (apologies for cheesy American term). That we got on. That this could go somewhere. I was feeling (as you may have noticed) pretty damn positive.
I’m not any more.
I’ve been off work, mostly looking [...]
I’ve been emailing a boy. He’s handsome, with gorgeous eyes, and is very very funny. We’ve been bantering back and forwards for about ten days with me snorting with laughter and desperate to email back immediately but somehow restraining myself for at least a decent period of time. Said period of time has become less [...]
Coriander jolted me back into the world of reality by her comment this morning. Although I think I’m not alone in loving the comedy email side of internet dating, provoking still more is frankly, bad form. Surely in dating, as in the rest of your life, we should hold by the mantra “Do as you [...]
Craig likes discussing our options. Options of what to do. When to do it. Where to eat. Where to drink. Whose place to stay at. We must have had a version of the conversation below about 50 times already. Say we’ve agreed to meet on Tuesday. It goes like this:
C “OK, [...]
It’s been an odd, emotional, weekend and this is a slightly depressing post. Apologies in advance if you’ve already got the Sunday Night Blues.
I was all topsy-turvy when I saw Craig on Friday night. Tired yet bouncy from seeing the girls. Annoyed with him, yet pleased to see him. Wanting him to be a bit [...]
Tall Tom and I went on a first date three weeks ago. It went well. Very well, in fact. And then I buggered off on holiday to the Far East, so we had to schedule a day in January for our next date. Patience would have to be learned, despite the fact that it’s never [...]
See below. That was quick. But which do we think would be better? Colleague/female friends or family? I’m inclined to ask for one from female friends and one from family.
Hi LondonGirl
Letters of recommendation…. Well, it depends on your specific demands. I have from my colleagues, my female friends, my family. What would you like [...]
As my love life is getting complicated, I am reinstating the squash ladder, for ease of reference.
Incidentally, IÂ was lamenting my single status to my house mate recently and he protested at the term “single”. “What part of you is single, woman? You’re dating about four men.” He missed the point. Single is when you don’t [...]
I’m up north at the moment in a small town. So small in fact the options for eating either involve a chain restaurant or a kebab. It’s certainly safe to say it’s the first (and probably last) time that eating at Nando’s seems like a very attractive proposition. Up here, eating is cheating, it seems.
But [...]
