The Dating Oath
After a series of bad internet dates I had given up on dating. I had instead become obsessed with finding perfection in a romantic film where one or both the protagonists don’t die, stutter their feelings awkwardly, or speak like the kids from Dawson’ Creek. So far I have managed to discern that this is […]
The Nollywood date
I can’t say as I have much time for Nollywood since my encounter with an obsessed fan. After weeks of internet flirting we met at a bar and…..there was an awful lot more flesh than I was used to and Maxine (my budda belly) was feeling decidedly anorexic in comparison.

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 […]

The Battersea Smell
There are clues to look for when you are internet dating.

But this one my precious sounded […]
