One bad date too many has resulted in a cynical, yet somewhat hopeful view of the opposite sex and relationships. Is it too much to ask that the man of my dreams have his own teeth and hair? Apparently so...

A Proper Man

Relationships can be hard. Sometimes I am not even sure whether men and women were really meant for each other. I mean, look at Adam and Eve.

The Mystery Valentines Card

Last year I got a Valentines card from ‘?’. I was annoyed that they didn’t put their hand up and admit to sending it. I was also a bit perturbed that they knew where I lived (down to post code) and actually spelt my name correctly. Bloody stalkers.

"Will you go out with me?"

Have you ever asked someone out? If you have, I would like to give you a pat on the back and some sort of a badge for bravery.
I am a coward.

Dumped on Facebook

Being dumped is horrible, especially if you don’t see it coming. It could be compared to crossing the road, having looked left and right and being quite confident that there was nothing coming, only to step out in front of a big red bus, that has no intention of stopping.

Katie and Peter - Do we need 'Another Chapter'?

I have always been a very big fan of Jordan, aka Katie Price. I am not sure what it was about the double G breasted girl, but I just liked her.

Where is Gok when I need him?

I am in a pickle. My boyfriend's company Christmas do is less than a week away and I have nothing to wear.

Facebook Relationships

I hate Facebook. Every day I am on it. Oh the irony. You can see everything and know everything about someone’s life just from Facebook. I have literally bumped into people that I have never met before but know all about their exploits, through a mutual friend’s pictures of them on Facebook.

The Man with the Calvin Klein Tattoo

Since this dating disaster, I would like to say that I have thought twice about ignoring the sage advice of others, but this would be a lie.

Dating Denial

Have you ever been on a date with someone, only for them to deny it to your friends? I have.

If you are now cringing, thinking ‘that’s embarrassing’ and ‘why would anyone admit to something like that’, then that is fine. I am cringing ever so slightly too.

May I present to you, the truly happy couple

I have been to a few weddings over the years. Some fill you with dread for their future and some, an overwhelming warmth, knowing that the two people that you have just watched declare the rest of their lives to each other, are more in love than you could have ever imagined.

My Hirsute Lover

I saw 'The Yeti' this morning. I was on my bike and he was walking along the pavement.
