The Facebook photo CV
The Facebook Photo CV Remember when internet dating was a little bit dirty. I mean it was a sordid secret. You would meet couples and ask how they met and neither one of them could look you in the eye? Those were the good old days! But now, it’s part of anyone who is looking […]
F is for Fairweather Friends
So the other day I was in Waterstones waiting for an event to kick off when I picked up a Grazia. Not something I ever read to be honest as I can’t stand magazines with more adverts than articles. There was an article about a woman who had dropped out of university when she got […]
The blog starts
So you know when you turn up to those business networking do da things and they tell you that everyone is going to have to do a 60 second pitch? And you’re standing there thinking to yourself, “****! I’ve got half an idea, my deodorant stopped working around noon and I’m hungry.” Well that’s how […]
Mr. Twitter
Mr. Twitter I’m not one to be particular impressed by those who claim to be a fan of the blog. Now with social media being the accessible tool of our generation it’s easy to meet new people and form attachments. But in this life of interaction it’s rare to find someone you really connect to. […]
The Jill Scott moment

The virtual dick
We met on one of those adult friend sites. I know my precious, but, he was hot. He told me he was well hung and sent text pictures to validate his claims. Oh, and he was African. I really couldn’t ask for more from a potential friend with benefits. But then he insisted that I […]
The gift gap
I still feel a little queasy when I recall the moment of shame with amazing clarity. You know how it is my precious when you become friends with a guy and quickly they permeate into every part of your life? They have your email, phone number Facebook etc and are the first person you call […]
Just say no
So this is it my precious. Despite all of my disastrous dates of 2008-2011 I have taken the decision to start dating again. I know, one more single black woman out there past 30 is not what London needs but I am a dating connoisseur and surely that means that I can approach this dating […]
In search of the good black man – a practical guide
Not one to take the easy route, I have decided to make finding love, dating and relationships even harder by being culturally specific. I speak of my search for the elusive Good Black Man, codename: Blake Goodman. Yes, I too seek this mythical, wondrous creature, similar only to Big Foot or the Loch Ness monster […]
