The Perfect Date
The Perfect Date So we keep on meeting and we flirt but not too openly because that would be crass and I’m a lady. Yes I said it. Who knows who else he has in his life and goodness knows there are enough idiots in mine so nothing happens and time marches on until 2012 […]
The Sketchy Date
The Sketchy Date So I met a guy on a mutual friend’s Facebook thread. He said something vaguely witty, I made a comment about his name and before you know it a friend request was in my inbox. Strangely enough when I saw his pictures I realised that we had met 2 years prior during […]
The concert (Whitney and me part 2)
I think it was October of 2009 when they announced her concert. Whitney Houston was coming to the 02 and I wasn’t going to miss this opportunity. I just knew that this was the time to see her before I was too old to bust a proper move. I had missed her by 6 weeks […]
The resolutions
The resolutions Every year I made the same 3 resolutions: lose weight, get into a meaningful relationship and buy lots of heels. I know my precious, there was little sign of any weight loss and there had been a few dates but none that were worthy of a permanent toothbrush. I bought myself a pair […]
The Lashes Date
The Lashes Date So the Monday morning after a hectic weekend of socialising and networking I get a text message: [Hey Buddy how’s it going?] BUDDY!?! I asked who it was and he asked if I didn’t remember our passionate kiss at the bar on Friday? Hmmm, I put my thinking cap on, searched through […]
Stupid Questions Women Ask Part 2
2) So, do you have kids? Here’s the thing. If he has kids then surely he will at some point mention it? But because he is still just thinking about sex and you are thinking about the potential FuHu this is a silly question to ask. Some lie and deny their kids exist or worse, […]
Why Games don’t work
The other night I was at a Get the Guy seminar learning how to ….well, get a guy. I am somewhat sceptical about these Americanised seminars in hotels. Was I going to be expected to whoop and holler? Walk over hot coals to prove my commitment to finding true love? I rubbed my hand sorely […]
The Proposal The Ring
So normally I would write off a month like February as too short, too cold and too full of hearts and roses for me to bother with. The chocolate is the only bit that warms my cynical heart and even then it has to be hot chocolate fondant. But this year is a leap year […]
Dating younger men: 4 Reasons why you should
Life is wonderful. You are constantly out, the champagne is flowing and your life is being carefully documented through Facebook photo albums. It limits the number of times you can wear the same outfit but apart from that all is well. I was very clear that I dated men that were older and had the […]
The beautiful game
African cup of Nations is here and I can’t deny that there is something special about watching 22 (red cards permitting) men kicking a ball around. But football fans are their own breed. I’ve never dated anyone who wasn’t a footie fan and I’m cautious of men who don’t like football. That probably means that […]
