Flying without wings
Flying without wings Sometimes the joy of internet dating is like the joy of eating out. Sometimes you want a good home cook meal that someone else has cooked or a fancy restaurant and sometimes you just want a take away. You know it’s not going to be that good for you but it’s filling […]
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 […]
The secret agent -sex date
This is a sex date so be warned. Every once in a while the internet dating gods deem you worthy of a good experience. They didn’t bestow this blessing often and never on match.com but this time I’d hit the jackpot. He was a 40ish black American cage fighter who travelled regularly on business to […]
Beam me up
Beam me up Last night I was watching Love, Sex and Eating the Bones which is about a man whose porn addiction impacts on his relationship. Which reminded me of my short relationship with Afroman. Oh my precious, Afroman! Not only was he a delicious ex model but he lived near me and he was […]
The Nollywood date
The Nollywood Date I can’t say as I have much time for Nollywood since my encounter with an obsessed fan.

Some people find it strange that I don’t really read women’s magazines. It’s a painful memory my precious but I remember with clarity the day I decided to divorce them and the cocktail one in particular. (I had already outgrown the much loved position of the fortnight in More and felt like a proper woman […]

Memorable dates of 2009: Mr. Valentine
There are times in the year that are just not for the single girl. Valentine is one of these times. The constant questions from well meaning loved ones and smugly paired off couples on whether or not you’re seeing anyone are multiplied as that dreaded date looms nearer. So last year I was expecting more […]
In the Black – the gift basket
In the Black – the gift basket It’s always a tricky one isn’t it? Your latest fling invites you over for the night. So let’s think; dinner, sex and the morning after to stress and obsess over. My “sex date” look takes a good three hours plus industrial strength products to achieve; so you see […]
